Gift Cards - Make your Gift a bit more Personal

Need a gift now? Print it!

I don't know about the kids in your life, but in mine, if they are over 11years old, it is really hard to find gifts that they like without them telling you exactly what they want.

What happened to the old fashion way...searching and searching for just the "perfect" gift, buying the wrapping paper, the bow, the whole works. Only to find out that "that's not really what they wanted". Then you spend more time taking the "perfect' gift back. God forbid you can't find the receipt, that's always the biggest bummer. It becomes even more complicated when you are sending gifts out of state.

So instead of just buying a visa or MC gift card, I buy Gift.com Gift cards. I can personalize the note with a message and a picture- makes it a bit more fun.
Here is how it works for them:
Step 1
Your gift recipient receives an email with your gift card and a certificate with a redemption code. If you want to deliver it in person, just print the gift card yourself.

Step 2
Your recipient browses through hundreds of top merchants and picks a merchant to redeem their gift card. Because we're all about freedom of choice, they can redeem your entire gift amount at one store or split it across multiple merchants.

Step 3
Your recipient clicks on the link and enters their claim code. They can redeem some now and more later if they want, or spend it all in one shot. That's the beauty of the Gifts.Com Gift Card—the choice is all theirs.

Step 4
Depending on the merchant, they'll receive the merchant gift card via mail or email. Some gift cards are for shopping in person or at a restaurant, others can be used online.
