Customized gift cards

Posted by Janice on July 31, 2009

I don’t know about you, but I love gift cards.  I’ve heard many people say that they think that they are a “cop out” because that means that they giver doesn’t want to give a lot of thought as to what the recipient wants, but I beg to differ!  I think that they are perfect!  What is says to me, is that the person acknowledges that I have enough dust collectors and might want to buy something that fits just right, or use as a special treat at a restaurant.

I love the fact that you can customize them now online with special photographs that you can upload yourself to make the gift card more memorable – when the recipient pulls out the gift card to use and sees the photograph of the giver on it, it reminds them of the person who gave them the gift – and I think that is wonderful!  Or the picture could be of the recipient himself so his brother/sister can’t steal it and claim it belongs to them when they are caught!
