SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the challenges of issuing a gift certificate without a designated name for a family gift exchange. The user indicates that their payment processor (PP) requires an address but allows for a blank name field. They share their practice of creating custom gift certificates, leaving the name blank while stamping the back for identification. The user notes that these certificates do not contribute to host sales, a crucial detail for those in similar situations, particularly in Canada where traditional gift certificates are unavailable.

I make my own gift certificates and leave it blank. I do however stamp it on the back so I know it's mine when it is redeemed. I explain to the buyer that it can only be used by me and not another consultant as I have the money for it. Only thing is that it does not count on the host's sales. I started doing this because here in Canada PC does not have gift certificate. Works well for me.
