Unique Thank You, Hostess & Housewarming Gifts
Discount Gift Certificates to Share with Others
Aug 25, 2009
A common motto states that it's better to give than to receive, meaning that one derives more benefit from giving gifts than from receiving them. However, wouldn't it be fabulous if you could give a gift and receive a benefit from it too? Consider using discounted gift certificates, fundraising gift cards and online gift certificate swapping sites to reap benefits while you are sharing your generosity. Holiday gifts, housewarming gifts, thank you gifts, and door prizes can all take advantage of this concept. The list below includes information and links to several favorite discounted gift certificate sites.
Restaurant Coupons & Gift Certificates
A favorite online website to find discounted bargains for dining is at Restaurant.com. This site helps people celebrate the dining experience more affordably. The site markets gift certificates for thousands of restaurants all across the country. Restaurant owners use Restaurant.com to bring in new customers, and anyone can use the service to get a great meal at a significant discount.
- A typical deal available on the website is a $25 Gift Certificate for only $10. The gift certificate is valid with a minimum food purchase of $35, meaning that your $35 bill will only cost you $20.
- However, when you register on Restaurant.com, you will have email access to even better deals! At certain times in the month, that $25 gift certificate will only cost $2. This means that your $35 bill will only cost you $12 plus tax and gratuity!
Imagine how generous you can be with your gift giving, when a $25 gift certificate will only cost you $2 out of pocket!
Online Gift Certificates: Buy, Sell, Swap
- Another fabulous discounted gift card website is CertificateSwap.com. This unusual marketplace allows you to buy reduced gift certificates from over 750 merchants.
- However, the site also lets people sell their unused gift certificate or swap their unwanted gift cards for certificates from a more desirable merchant.
- On a recent visit to CertificateSwap.com, SpaWish certificates were available for half their face value and Talbot’s gift cards were available for a 25% discount.
- In addition to spa experiences and women’s apparel merchants, you can find gift certificates for electronics, sports, men’s and kids’ clothing, travel, home goods, and shopping malls.
Again, this online convenience makes gift giving an incredibly simple task, and both the gift giver and the recipient benefit!
So, rather than immediately running out to buy a bouquet of flowers as a thank you gift or a housewarming present, visit the internet and with a couple of clicks you can print out a wonderful gift experience for even the most discerning recipient!
