Free Printable Gift Certificate for Kids

Whether you need to put together a list minute present, or just want to give an less traditional gift, this free printable gift certificate for kids is here to help! Designed with a fun variety of colors, it is perfect for both kids and adults.

My son’s birthday is in the winter. This means that we can’t always take him to certain fun places that he would enjoy like the zoo or a water park to celebrate.

My mom had once suggested that we should celebrate his half birthday so that we could do more outdoor activities with him. And that got me thinking! While we would obviously celebrate his birthday on the actual day, it might be fun to also celebrate during the summer.

Between that and the fact that everyone has been extremely cooped up this year, (hopefully if you are reading this post in the future, things have gone back to normal and you have no idea what I’m talking about right now!) I wanted to do something a little extra special.

My husband and I sat down to think of a list of places we think our son would love to visit. Once we chose one, we decided that we were going to tell him about it on his birthday but not go until the summer. And so I created this cute free printable gift certificate for kids that I also wanted to share with you today!

What are some reasons you may wish to give gift certificates?

They make excellent last minute gifts.
Maybe you forgot to get a gift for that special someone, or you just didn’t have a chance to make a trip to the store before the party. Whatever the reason may be, you can easily print out a gift certificate as a great alternative to a physical, more traditional present.

They are great for sticking to a budget.
Especially around the holidays, the amount you spend on presents for friends and family can really add up quickly. Giving your loved ones a gift certificate or a coupon book can be a fun way to gift something personal and thoughtful, while still sticking to your budget.

They can be easily customized.
Gift certificates can be customized to fit your friends and family’s personalities and needs very easily. Here’s an example. My dad’s birthday was a few months ago and I was struggling to figure out what to get him. He is the type of person who buys everything for himself and never really needs anything. Well, he had just started a side business working on cars and I thought that instead of getting him a tool or something I really don’t know anything about, I would make him a gift certificate. The gift certificate was for me to design and print business cards and flyers for his new business. It was something less traditional, but definitely appreciated!

Each gift certificate will measure approximately 8×3.5 inches when trimmed. This will fit great into a standard #10 size envelope. Each 8.5×11 inch page will print 3 gift certificates. For the very best quality, I would definitely recommend printing the certificates out onto white cardstock.

Fill out the “To, From and For” sections with all of your information and you now have a much more professional looking way to give those types of gifts that are a little less traditional.
