Left their gift too late? Send them an electronic gift certificate
If you’ve ever had the horrible realisation that it’s someone’s birthday (or eeek! your anniversary) and you’ve somehow forgotten it, it’s hard to make them feel like you’ve been thinking about them.
Which is where electronic gift certificates come in. Apparently they do a roaring trade for people hopeless at remembering birthdays and anniversaries (ie men) – and for those who’ve cut it too fine to send them something to arrive in time for their birthday, anniversary, Christmas or whatever.
I thought of it because um, I too have to get something organised for my stepmother’s birthday tomorrow. So while I’m hunting for a nice plant nursery that offers electronic gift certificates (surprisingly hard, by the way!), you might have other types of gifts in mind.
So here’s 10 interesting websites that have electronic gift certificates if you have to absolutely, must get it there today!
1. Is your favourite student or frazzled friend about to escape overseas somewhere? Bed & breakfast gift certificates might come in handy…
2 & 3. Do they love chocolates and lollies? You’ll get hungry checking out Groovy Candies - while every day is Oktoberfest at German Deli…
4. Afraid of getting her the wrong lingerie? She can slip into something very comfortable with Bare Necessities.
5. If you think they’ll hang up when they get your electronic gift certificate, you might be right – hang up some art, that is…
6. Will they suspect something fishy is going on? Hook them with this unusual gift certificate.
7. Instead of A Night at the Museum for your favourite culture vulture, give ‘em a gift certificate to go shop there!
8 & 9. Does he love his rugby - or is he a huntin’/fishing/shootin’/campin’ type of man? Search no longer!
10. And finally, the Wax Depot (no, it’s not a beauty salon offering to rip out the hairs on your legs – or elsewhere), is a great same-day gift option for those who love their cars!
