How to Create a Fun Gift Certificate for a Birthday
- 1). Consider the birthday individual's hobbies and interests. Also consider what may be a difficult task for him. For example, small household repairs can be a struggle for an elderly person.
- 2). Write on the top of the gift certificate a phrase commemorating the birthday. For example, "In honor of your birthday, we present you with ... "
- 3). Write on a gift certificate "One free gutter cleaning," "A full day of handyman repairs" or "One lawn mowing" for the birthday individual. This will be a helpful coupon for the elderly person who struggles with these tasks but may not want to ask for help.
- 4). Craft a certificate around a pampering gift idea. For example, write "One hour back massage," "One free manicure and pedicure" or "Free foot massage."
- 5). Create a gift certificate around an activity or hobby, or simply some quality time spent together. Write, for example, "Movie night of your choice, on me -- refreshments included," "One afternoon picnic in the park of your choice" or "Free taxi service from me for the evening of your choice."
