At the very least:
I would suggest you buy some actual "office supplies" (ie, anything non-gift-card that Staples / etc sells) on the same purchase as a gift card, so that you end up with an "odd amount" for your total, and so that it's not "as obvious" that you were buying gift cards as constant round $x00 purchases might give off.
Ie, that's the Staples / etc equivalent of "buy some actual groceries along with your gift card" when buying larger gift cards at grocery stores.
Also, don't make this be all of your spend on the card. Intermix some no-gift-cards-at-all purchases in there.
