We’ve sent this out other years for those that need a quick last minute gift. If you don’t want to make your own gift card we can digitally send one of our own to you via email. That’s very quick and very easy. Any amount.
Last, last minute, lots of fun, DIY Gift Card. You make it, you give it. Simple.
As
do most stores, we enjoy selling and sending out gift
certificates. You may call them “gift cards” but ours aren’t plastic,
but nicely printed certificates; old school. Some customers really
enjoy giving them and they are the perfect solution for gifts large or
small. We make them for any amount you’d like, and can send them out
anywhere.
But here is what is fun — this time of year we invite a
little homemade DIY action. Why not get crafty, use your imagination,
open up that aesthetic dimension of life, and prettify something as a
way to share some H&M joy? You can make your own gift certificate
and we will honor it.
Yep, you can make your own gift card, for
any amount, drawing it up in any way you’d like. Give them to your
loved ones, and voila, they can be ordering whatever they like, whenever
they like.
Here is how it works. On the secure order form page at our website, just type in that you are
making your own gift card and tell us the dollar amount you want it to
be for. We will send to you the cc receipt (or a bill, if you’d rather)
to your address for your records. We will also reply promptly via
email (as we always do) and give you a little gift certificate number
that you can write on the card somewhere, just for everybody’s records. (Be sure to give us YOUR email address, not the recipients, as we want to confirm with you.)
If you tell us to whom you are giving it, that would be helpful for our
files, too. We won’t correspond with them, but having a name would be
good. That way, if they lose it — heaven forbid, since it will be a
work of art — we can still honor it.
This is so easy, and if you’d
rather do it over the phone, that is simple, too. Just call the shop at
717.246.3333.
Making
and giving your own gift certificate is one last way for you to say
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, or to commemorate any of the Twelve
Days of Christmas, including (our family favorite) Epiphany. The
Persian astrologers brought gifts to Jesus on that day, so you could put
Epiphany art on it. Smart thinking, eh? Or use it for a Christmas eve
stocking stuffer or along with a thank you to someone who has blessed
you this year.
Speaking of gift-giving, you all are a great
gift to us. Beth and I and our staff thank you for caring about books,
for supporting a real store, and for allowing us to inform you about
books we think you’ll like, all through the year. We enjoy our on-line
friends and appreciate those who follow along, sharing in our efforts.
You are part of this story and we are grateful, daily. At this glorious
holiday time, though, we are especially aware of how we wouldn’t be
here if it were not for you, our friends and customers. Merry, merry
Christmas.
