I get many requests for gift certificates, but this is the first year I am formally advertising them. They usually come from one of two sources: husband as a gift for his wife and family or parents or grandparents as a gift for son or daughter and their family. You purchase them as a dollar amount, but instead of posting the dollar amount on the card, I create a "package" that includes (at minimum) a session fee plus whatever prints will add up to the dollar amount you choose. I put together a nice gift note with all the details and will mail it, or if the recipient is close by, I will wrap in a box and hand deliver. If you are thinking of buying another electronic toy that will end up driving you crazy, try this route. You will have "memories that last a lifetime".
