Gift Certificates – Last Minute Christmas Gift Idea #1

Yep it’s time to bite the bullet and start buying Gift Certificates for those hard to buy people on your list. Here’s a listing of dozen of online merchants that offer gift certificates. My personal favorite are the ones that offer email delivery on their gift certificates. That way you can wait until Christmas Eve and still get all your shopping done in time for Christmas. I’ve included several coupons for gift certificates, because there’s no reason you can’t be lazy and save some money!
