To purchase a gift certificate simply select the amount you wish to get. Then check out. If the recipient is a returning customer then they log in after filling their shopping cart. If not they register as new customer then check out. Follow the menus all the way to the comment section. If you wish to have us email this to someone different than the purchaser , please give us the persons full name and complete email address and we will send it to them directly or you can forward the email to them personally . In the certificate you will find a code. That code will be used when the recipient returns to purchase items. In the check out page there is a place for that code and the amount will be deducted from purchases. Thats all there is to it. The gift that is good for yearound giving!
