| Gift certificates |

I never want to use them right away. I always feel like I want to wait until there is something I truly want to make the gift certificate worthwhile. This year, I used a gift certificate that was over 2 years old. In fact, the store stopped having gift certificates since those plastic gift cards are all the rage now. I'm glad I could still use them. And yesterday, I used a spa gift certificate that I got last December for my birthday. It was going to expire next month :lol: and I had been saving a trip to the spa for a good occasion. Back when I was moving and having all that stuff going on, I told myself I'd go to the spa the soonest I could. At the time, I was exhausted, feeling stressed, and I was in physical pain. Yesterday I got some shiatsu. It was so relaxing. I know I dozed off at one point. It was also painful at some times. I think some of my body parts are just really stiff. And I also got a facial. My skin looks so much more clear today. I am going to try to get facials more often from there, I think. I don't want to go my mom's friend any more. Her facials have always given my breakouts and her services are PRICEY! Anyway, I sent off a thank you email to the person who gave me the gift certificate. I'd have linked to a tblog entry about him, but I can't seem to find my 2003 archives?! :? Ugh, more incentive to keep saving all my blog entries somewhere. This person was someone I told off last year...around New Years. I guess we sort of dating, but by the time he was back from England, he was all clingy. He pissed me off majorly, and then I hated him. But the last time I saw him, we were civil. |

I do the same thing. I like to save gift certificates for that special something when it finally comes along. Although, once I waited too long and the darn thing had expired, lol. :-)

I hate when stores put an expiry date on gift certificates or credit notes. If people don't use them, these stores are basically taking money for no services or goods exchanged!!
