Gift certificates count towards comm. sales, so I don't think you can do that- why not offer one of your own gift cert. and you take the $30 in free products from the Host- do you know her well enough? Just a thought- I personally do not like our gift certificates- quite hard to redeem online, and the outlet isn't included- I encourage them through me, not the actual company.
Good luck,

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out. As a consultant, I am happy to provide some guidance on this situation. While it may seem like a simple solution to use free product value towards a gift certificate, unfortunately it is not allowed. Free product value can only be used towards product purchases, not towards gift certificates. I would suggest explaining this to your hostess and offering alternative options for her to use her free product value, such as purchasing additional products for herself or using it towards a future purchase. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any further questions. Best of luck with closing out your show!
