Gift Certificates

Great for All Occasions

Let’s face it—some people are impossible to shop for. Gift ideas for them are few and far between. Some people seem to have everything. Why risk picking out a gift they may already have, or may even have a better version. Like many of us, you probably have a family member that is picky. Relax, you don’t have to spend hours looking, stressing yourself out over the options. Opt for a gift card and let your recipient take care of the rest.

Gift CertificatesHere at Christmas Gifts.com, we have learned that people love gift certificates. They are the perfect Christmas gift. When ready, your recipient can make an entire day out of shopping or redeeming gift certificate services. It feels like having cash in your pocket, and that’s a good feeling.

Alternatively, you can sponsor a subscription or membership. Prepay a month of online gaming for a teenager. Magazine subscriptions and Gift of the Month Clubs require only initial registration, then take care of the rest of the work for you. You’ll look like a champion as the gifts are delivered, month after month.


Here are some do’s and don’ts when it comes to shopping for gift certificates:

Do:

  • Give gift certificates for both services and products
  • Buy certificates online and email confirmation directly to the recipient
  • Include a special message or card with your gift
  • Include tip so that your loved one isn’t out any pocket cash.

Don’t:

  • Give certificates with short expiration periods, especially if the recipient is a busy person. They may not get to use it before it expires.
  • Assume your loved one wants to go alone. Try booking a similar service for yourself and going together.
  • Tell them how to use the certificate. Let them use it how they want. After all, it is their gift.

Everyone loves a good performance, whether it’s art, music or sports. Surprise a friend by giving them passes to an upcoming rock concert. Give circus tickets to a kid and let them invite their best friend along. Even Grandma and Grandpa will enjoy viewing a new Art Museum exhibit. There are tickets for everything and everyone. That is why tickets are one of our top gift ideas this season.

When giving tickets, be sure to include at least two in the gift. Otherwise the recipient may end up having to go alone. This may make them uncomfortable. They may not even use the ticket if they don’t have a partner to attend with. It is socially acceptable to purchase a ticket for yourself, and extend one ticket to a friend as an invitation to attend with you.
