Printable gift certificates are often a great way of gifting someone special, something that they wanted, without directly giving them the cash. The gift certificate can be for a purchase amount at a particular site, a particular store or redeemable certificate for a particular service. That is why businesses make these certificates available to their customers, so that they could be gifted away to near and dear ones without bringing cash into the picture anywhere. These certificates are also used by budding businesses as a marketing tool as they allow you to gift someone and at the same time allow them to choose what they want to purchase.
