Gift Certificates
Purchase a gift certificate online.
Need a gift but can't decide what to get for that special someone, give them one of our gift certificates and let them choose. You can enter the dollar value of the certificate, and let them select their gift from our web site. Our gift certificates are processed through payPal. You can use one of your credit cards or if you have a payPal account, you can use it during the checkout process.
Once you purchase a gift certificate, you and the recipient will receive emails. The recipient will receive an email with the dollar value and a gift certificate code. They can shop at our website and during checkout the value of the gift certificate will be applied to their order. If the value of the order is greater than the certificate, they can pay the difference with a credit card. If the value of the order is less than the certificate, they will have the difference remaining in the gift certificate to be used on their next order. The difference cannot be refunded in cash only credit to be used on the website or in the gallery.
