I hate giving money unless it's actually for something particular, similarily I don't particularly like getting it unless it's for a specific purpose. Part of giving a gift is spending time and love choosing it but there are times when it's either impractical to send or whatever and vouchers (or very occaisionally money) is a good way forward. I think I'd have to ask myself if I really really couldn't think what to buy somebody as I didn't know what they liked then why was I buying them a present anyway as I obviously couldn't be close. Having said that, I am giving two of my nieces either money or vouchers this Christmas, the first one has a voucher for one of her favourite shops (what I spend wouldn't buy her much and to be honest, from going in there today it was practically pitch dark so I couldn't really tell what I'd have been buying!) and her sister and her boyfriend are desperately saving for their wedding so have a small token gift and a monetary donation which will suit them well, couldn't give them something wrapped though, wouldn't be right if they didn't have a parcel under the tree
Oh, and no idea about the cheques, you'll have to ask the bank and even then it might vary from teller to teller.
