E-gift cards are redeemable online only.  E-gift cards are sent by email to the purchaser within 1-24 hours (depending on orders received in or out of business hours).  Unfortunately a message for a recipient will not display with e-gift cards. We suggest forwarding the gift card email from us to the recipient along with your message if this is needed.  Our e-gift cards are valid for 5 years. No account maintenance fees with ever be charged.  Shopping for someone else but not sure what to give them? Give them the gift of choice with a Nimble Fingers Gift Card.
