Personal Gift Certificate

So my boyfriend of almost two years is having a birthday in three weeks and I want to get him a new pair of shoes as one of his gifts...

I'm not sure if I should pick something out for him or if I should get him a gift certificate for Foot Locker.

I am just worried he's not going to like the ones I pick out but I think a gift certificate might not really be very personal, like I didn't think about his gift and I took the easy way out...

What do you think? Any thoughts would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Another option is to take him shopping for shoes on his birthday or the day before - that way you can help him pick out a pair, and then it won't be an impersonal gift.

My partner is going to get his good friend something off his wedding list but also wants to get something a bit special aswell because he's been a very good friend.

They're going to Las Vegas for their honeymoon so we wondered if anyone knows of any sort of gift certificate type things that we could get so they can use them while they're there?

Thanks

A wine decanter carved from dried elephant droppings would be very unusual. Get their initials engraved on the bottom and there you go ... unusual and personalised!
(sorry, I couldn't resist it)

The gift certificate was donated over 2 months ago from my personal concierge service to an organization for a silent auction. I haven't heard a peep about it until now and unfortunately assumed it was not purchased. Now, the winning bidder wants to redeem the gift certificate for housekeeping which, due to health reasons, I no longer offer as one of my services. I have mentioned that I have many other services to choose from but she specifically wants housekeeping, which at the time of the donation, I offered. Now she's upset because her family spent the money on it for her and housekeeping is what she wants- says she has no need for the other services. And to top it all off, I don't know if there is an expiration date on it or not. Any ideas on how to handle this without upsetting the customer and giving my fledgling business a bad rep? I've already thought about offering a refund of the purchase price- don't know how she'll respond to that.

Depending on how much was spent to win the gift certificate, you can either offer to refund her the amount she spent or hire someone else to provide the services and eat the cost. I would honor the request since the services were offered at the time and you probably don't need the bad rap.

My boyfriend loves watching movies and going to movie theaters. I am already planning on getting him a movie that I know he really wants but I still have a few dollars to spare in my budget and was thinking a couple of movie tickets would be a nice add on. I know how gift certificates can be viewed as the easy way out and not personal at all but would it be a good idea to add it to something I'm already getting him?

Seeing as he is into movies it is a perfect gift - also something the both of you can enjoy together, not impersonal at all - very appropriate and a good choice - enjoy!

I have been working with him for about a year and he has done wonders for me. I have heard some people giving $100 gift certificates, but that seems a little much to me. Any suggestions?

As a Personal Trainer - I can tell you that at the holidays, I usually receive money - the amount ranges from the amount they pay for one session - to how much they pay for a week's worth of sessions. My question back to you guys is...do you think I should also be purchasing gifts for my clients in return?
