Get a grip. You're just looking to parse words and be argumentative. There is no defined "number of minutes". You know when you know, if you're going to get a good idea for a gift. It may be a minute or an hour. It may happen in a day or over a month. The point was, when I'm trying unsuccessfully to think of something to the point that it is getting to be stressful, it's time to move on to something I know they can use.
Nothing was parsed to be argumentative, it was exactly your words confirming my view on gift card giving

It was your parsing of how many minutes it takes for someone to know or not if they are going to be successful in thinking of a nice gift. If CD had a gift exchange and you drew my name, what would you give me? Be sure to give it the appropriate thought.

I wouldn't get you or anyone else a gift. Eliminating all angst with getting the call right
Well for those who claim the gifted person is "ungrateful" for not wanting a gift card....there was a well known financial advisor (can't remember who now) that said gift cards are not real gifts. The reason why, is that the gift card always belongs to the original person who purchased it. Don't believe it? If you ever have a problem using your gift card to buy something at a store, they will tell you to dispute it with your credit card company. Only you can't do that because you didn't purchase the card. The person who gave it to you bought it, and they are the only ones who can ask for a refund, or compensation, if there is a problem with the card. So, you would have to explain to the person who gave it to you, that the card doesn't work. Which could be embarrassing, and most people don't wish to do that. But it's true that you don't "own" the gift card that someone else gave you; they still own it, technically. Even if they give you the receipt along with the gift card, it doesn't change anything. You can't dispute anything if the card doesn't work or if it turns out funds were remotely swiped from it by thieves.
It still does not belong to you. You didn't pay for it. If there is a problem with it, the original purchaser must be the one to dispute it.
