It’s kind of a joke amongst my family members that the gift I’m most likely to give is an IOU.

I’m one of those people who is awesome about giving surprise, out-of-the-blue gifts – but not so awesome about planning ahead when it comes to gift-giving for birthdays, showers, weddings or the holidays.

My last-minute go-to gift is usually a gift card. I mean, really, who doesn’t love receiving gift cards? (Side note: I love receiving them! Just sayin’.)

In my opinion, a gift card is better than receiving cash because sometimes I find myself using cash gifts toward practical things, like paying bills (boo!). It’s much more fun to have to spend gift card money at a restaurant I love or a place where I love shopping.

Gift cards help take the stress out of having to go shopping for someone, but they’re not ideal for sending through the mail. I’m always afraid they’re going to get lost or stolen along the way – plus, insuring gift cards is a hassle. And if I’m trying to send one to someone over the holidays, there are always those shipping deadlines that I’m bound to miss (see: my lack-of-planning-ahead skills).

So what’s the solution? One easy one is giving eGift cards from Click it To Gift it!

Click it To Gift it is a website that offers busy people the opportunity to send digital gift cards redeemable at almost 50 vendors, including restaurants, retail stores, entertainment and online stores. Are Home Depot, Williams-Sonoma, Chili’s, Uno’s, Gap, Besty Buy and The Children’s Place familiar to you? Those are just a few of the places you can buy eGift cards to on Click it To Gift it.

There is no fee to purchase and no cost to ship and – you can buy and send these eGift cards right from your computer… no running to the store, no finding a parking space, no standing in line. You can even personalize your gift by selecting the eGift card design of your choice, or uploading your own photos or images, to be delivered directly to the recipient’s inbox.

The best part? (Yes, there’s even more awesomeness!) Click it To Gift it offers a “special gift with purchase” promotion that rewards you for your purchase. For example, gift a $25 Uno’s eGift card and get a $5 bonus voucher to use yourself. Or receive a $10 eGift card to The Children’s Place for every $40 you send. Or how about this one – with $100 purchase to Magianno’s Little Italy, receive a $20 gift card and a one-year subscription to Food & Wine Magazine!

The promos change periodically – you can see the newest promos by visiting Click it To Gift it.

Click it To Gift it really offers a win-win situation for my family and me when it comes to gift-giving… they’ll get awesome eGift cards from me on their special days and I won’t have to hear any of the IOU jokes anymore! 🙂
