Strapped for cash this holiday season, Need ideas for gift certificates

As the title states, like so many I am very strapped for cash this holiday season. I've decided that for my brothers, dad and step dad. My brother and I are going to offer full details (I do exterior while he does interior so we decided to go in together on this and just offer a full detail.)



I already feel bad enough for taking such a cheap way out on the gifts, so I want to make sure I at least have decent certificates to give to them. Does anybody know of a place online with free Gift Cert. templates that look professional? I basically want to put on them that they're good for one free full detail and put my company name and logo on them.



If they are professional enough I'm hoping I can offer them to other people to buy as gift ideas as well. I'm not a full time detailer, just do it on the side of my full time job on the weekends, but I figure this would be a good way to pick up some extra cash at a time when people are in the spending mood.

I understand your plight. Its gonna be a hallmark year for me as well. :decision:





This site has a decent holiday gift certificate template if you can print color.

I think that's the link I posted in the pro forum earlier. I was able to make some very nice looking certificates with their templates. I also understand what your going through, it's been a tough year. Good luck.
 
I don't think you are cheaping out, that's a great gift, better than the useless crap everyone gives and pretends to like.
 
Thanks for the link Ben! And I guess I'm really not cheaping out, especially since these details will include 2 lifted trucks, 2 black duramax diesels and a dark blue jeep.



And I really do think they'll appreciate it. My dads black duramax is spider webbed to hell and when he got it he told us "there's not a scratch on it." Andmy brothers is the same way, but hhe's been begging me to do it for a while now because he knows how bad of shape its in.
 
I know I'm too late, but I wanted to add that I agree with Dan 100%--this is not cheaping out! I still have bags of useless crap from 4 years ago; one of these days I'll gather up all the "gifts" and donate them to a charity that will hopefully be able to use them. I would have LOVED a detailing gift!! I bet your relatives were thrilled.
