If it's lingerie, I'd rather be the one to pick it out (so shopping spree), unless you absolutely know my taste and style.
I would rather have the gift, but shopping with him for it can be a lot of fun too.

I'm with Juliewife..the two of you together picking out the lingerie/gift could only serve as added foreplay.

I like the idea of getting a present, actually. I love the thought that has to go into selecting a present, considering if it's something that would suit me, etc. (save the receipt, just in case!)

It doesn't. The jackass is a spammer, plain and simple (the signature advertising the same thing and referral IDs in the URLs are always big clues). I reported the posts and hopefully a ban from the site will ensue.
As for your question, I'd prefer to pick stuff out myself after getting an idea of what my partner is interested in. And I hate giftcards (although they're preferable to bad gifts); they accumulate in my wallet, I never spend enough or have to pay more, and they're a ploy in general. Prepaid Visa cards are better because you're not limited to one store (I think a lot of women like to shop around and get the most for their money) and you can use any leftover money elsewhere.
Rule of thumb, if you are going to buy your lady lingerie, do it together or let her pick out what she likes from a catalog or from shopping with her (and guys, you will earn brownie points for going shopping like that in the first place and not moaning and groaning, maybe several different things, so you know what to get. Every valentines day they run stories and inevitably they say don't buy your sweetie lingerie, in part because a lot of men are clueless, they buy things they see victoria's secret models wearing, and especially when your sweetie is self conscious about their body, doesn't go over well (can speak from personal experience on that one).
I have to say that my thought is to get a gift for someone, unless I know they would prefer gift card to buy what they may, like for example they really need something they can't afford, then it might be appreciated, but for me getting a gift, no matter how humble, that shows some thought is often more appreciated.

From the male perspective, I'd rather give cash/gift card/shopping spree, that way she can get what she wants and will be happy. Shopping in general I abhor, though I could be persuaded to go lingerie shopping with her if that was her wish.
I once took a girlfriend bra shopping because I wanted to get her a front hook. She was game and didn't think I'd do it. GAME ON!
It doesn't bother me a bit to be in the lingerie department looking for nice frillies for my special lady.The real question is, however, the temperament of the woman in question. Would she rather have cold hard cash to do with as she pleased, or would she rather her special person choose something for her, something that requires thought and effort?

There are some girls out there: if they know their men will pay, they will choose very expensive ones, that can be annoying.

It's okay to spend some money on them... but girls are mostly very greedy!
