I received and email today about chains of stores that have either filed for bankruptcy, are in bankruptcy, or will just be closing stores.  The email said that if you give gift cards for the Christmas presents, you might want to stay away from gift cards from the following stores.  If they go belly up, then it could mean lost money.  I googled each name on this list, and all are in financial trouble, and the store closing and bankruptcy stories appear to be true.....soooo.....here it is....

Ann Taylor- 117 stores nationwide closing
Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug ,and Catherine's to close 150 stores nationwide
