"Compiling a list of stores with gift vouchers available" Topic

Hello,

Last year, as Xmas approached, when asked for a list of gift ideas, I told my extended family (parents/brothers) that contributions to my "hobby fund" would be appreciated. I also included things like books, DVDs, CDs, and even some clothes just to balance it and look like a normal person.

As it turns out, no one contributed to the hobby fund, presumably because they wanted to either actually buy something or at least give a gift card to somewhere specific, rather than just hand me cash or cheques. Since some of my gifts last year were booze, I'm presuming they weren't worried I'd spend the money on the fast life. And they aren't savvy enough in my hobbies to go out and buy toys for me, other than things like Dremel bits.

So with that long preamble, I'm interested in what online retailers/manufacturers have a gift card/certficiate/voucher system set up that I could pass on for this year (I just got asked for my Xmas list yesterday)?

I'd like to generate a list of everyone who does it, I can parse it down later to those that interest me. I also thought a full list of places would help others too.

To start the list:
- Brigade Models (UK) just announced they do it (and I do a lot of shopping there, so it's a good start!)

Thanks,
Chris

I am adding Gift Certs, they will be on the site next week…

Cool, I've bought from you before too!

The War Store has them.

We,ve had gift certificates available for years. Miniature Service Center (40mm Trident Designs)

We have gift certificates too. We have quite a few customers that buy them around holiday time.

Thanks for the topic! I have been planning on adding them for a while, but it had totally slipped off my radar!

A word to shop owners, please make sure your gift certificates are easy to use and FIND! I am a grown man who still likes toys for Christmas, and many times sites have them hidden or very hard to use for spouses or parents. Numerous times, I've sent links to family members only to have them say they couldn't figure out how to order them, so no hobby gifts for me. Gamers will go the extra mile to figure it out, spouses and older parents won't.

Great, thanks for the additional sites everyone, hopefully more chime in, but I certainly have a starting point.

Peter Pig does too. We send a small card with a unique shopping cart code. If its really last minute we can email the code after payment and you write that in your own card for the recipient.

Thanks Martin, great to hear.

FYI, Gamecraft Miniatures now also has them.
