I am having my first booth at a Holiday Bazaar tomorrow and will be offering some beautiful personal gift certificates that I found here. Thank you all for sharing your talents! I just created a log for keeping track of all the gift certificates that I sell. It also has purchaser and recipient contact information (name & phone/email) so I can remind them if their expiration date is getting close and they haven't redeemed it yet. Wish me luck tomorrow!
