Gift Certificates can be for your own personal use or sent to a friend. If you don't like to make online payments, then a Gift Certificate may be the way to go. You can mail your payment and as soon as it arrives I'll set up a Gift Certificate on your account. The Gift Certificate can then be used as "store credit" when you're ready to make a purchase. That way you don't have to wait for your check to arrive before your coupons are shipped every time you purchase!
