Here's a less obvious one to be careful of:
Some shady folks are taking screenshots of gift cards serial numbers in stores, then they put it back on the rack.
Later, you buy the gift card for your relative's stocking, take it home, put it in the card, whatever.
The shady guy is at home on his computer, typing that serial number in online, checking every night to see if there's a balance on the card. As soon as there is, he spends it in the online store.
Come around December 26th or so, your relative tries to spend the gift card you bought them, and finds it empty. Merry @#$ing Christmas. The money's been gone for weeks.
Sealed gift cards are becoming more common, especially the credit-card based ones, and some stores are keeping the gift cards within sight of an active register at all times to make photographing the back unnoticed more difficult. Nonetheless be cautious giving GCs this year, and consider cards for businesses without an online store, like restaurants.
