Making your own gift certificates

I have done this on several occaisions, like gift for co-workers and kids. I have several wordprocessing programs on my computer, all have certificate type formats. I just make several in a reduced size (about 1/3 a standard page leaving a "binding" edge on one side. I then stack them and using a nice paper have made a cover. (My favorite method is glueing it over index card paper - office folders are perfect, then making a nice "label" to glue on the front, and staple it together.

Examples: a certificate for a package of gum the next time you go to the store, for a soda of your favorite flavour, one day free from nagging you to pick up after yourself and clean your room, one day you don't have to do kitchen duty, one extra piece of cake on cake night, a movie choice (appropriate rating) of your choice with no "oh no that awful thing" from your parents. Office co-workers of course as appropriate.
