Gift Card & Gift Certificate Extensions for Magento

Every time a birthday, anniversary or Christmas is approaching, people around the world get stressed and are struggling to find the perfect gift for their loved ones. Gift cards along with CDs, DVDs, books, electronics, jewelry and clothing are among the most popular presents. Finding the right present, however, could be a tricky task: It’s quite difficult to hit someone’s taste or guess someone’s size for instance. That’s where gift cards come in handy for just about any occasion and for those unable to find any presents.

Magento store owners can easily offer gift cards to their customers by implementing an appropriate extension for Magento. Let’s have a closer look at some really nice modules (to be continued):
