Shopping for one of my brothers is incredibly easy because he absolutely loves Barnes & Noble and all he ever wants is gift cards that he can use to buy books or to purchase coffee and snacks to eat in the bookseller’s cafe while he’s flipping through books to decide which one to buy.

If you know someone like my brother, here’s a deal for you. Barnes & Noble is giving a free $10 promotional gift card when you purchase $75 worth of gift cards.

You have to buy all $75 worth at once and you can do it in a store or online at www.bn.com but you have to do it by Dec. 2.

One drawback is your promotional gift card won’t be valid until Dec. 26, so if you want to use it for yourself you’ll have to wait. But you’ll be OK if you’re giving it as a gift on Dec. 25.
