:-( That happened to me once. Some friends of mine sent me a gift certificate to a gardening catalog. It was a place where you could buy seeds and bugs (yes, good bugs for your garden and things like that). The gift certificate was sent in a package with a catalog. I'd never heard of this place and knew nothing about it, so I just thought it was junk mail and threw the whole thing away. *g* I think I did that twice before they finally had to tell me about it and spoil the surprise so I wouldn't do it again. *g*

That's too bad about the wasted Walmart card, though. :-(
