Give the manicure gift card to someone else or 1 of the other teachers and get a target Gift Card at whatever you can afford.

I think you misunderstood, the mani/pedi gift card has already been given to her for her birthday last week. This is another gift...Christmas. And yes, I could give what I can afford, but it was suggested I give more.

Wow! Maybe I should go back to teaching becauae apparently they receive really great gifts now.
