Gift Certificates – The Perfect Instant Gift Idea

Illustration by Toni Allen

Need a gift in a hurry?

Many (smart) online retailers offer gift certificates delivered instantly to the recipient’s email…and available to use immediately.

Here is list of online shops offering Gift Certificates with instant delivery options:

Amazon.com – Give the gift of almost anything with an Amazon.com gift certificate.

Amazon offers a variety of instant delivery options including email and even gift cards posted directly to a friend’s Facebook wall. Fancy.

Amazon also allows you to schedule gift cards in advance (so handy) and order bulk gift cards; both options are great for busy people and corporate gifts. Again, these “gift cards” have the instant options of Email or Facebook delivery.

Amazon keeps a list of their most popular gift cards here: Best Selling Amazon Gift Cards

If you would rather send a “physical” gift card, you can opt from hundreds (maybe thousands?) of available gift cards from darn near every store/restaurant/service you can imagine from Amazon, as well.

XperienceDays.com – From Scuba lessons to hot air balloon rides and every adventure in-between.

XperienceDays offers gift certificates delivered by email for an instant awesome gift. You can read this post for more info about experience days as a gift idea.

Please note: XperienceDays.com caters to US residents, if you are in the UK have a look at Wish.co.uk.

Lomography.com – Offers email-able gift certificates for nifty film cameras. Know someone that loves anything “retro” or “vintage”? They will appreciate a Lomo Camera or Gift Card, for sure.

Check out this post on Lomo Photography for more info.

Stay tuned for more shops that offer instant gift certificates as I find them.
