Gift Zip Review and $25 Amazon GC Giveaway

The holidays will be here before we know it. I don't like to wait until the last minute to do my shopping. When you spread it around it doesn't seem as overwhelming. I buy things here and there as I come across something interesting. I try to get personal gifts but there are some people that are just too hard to shop for. For those individuals, a gift card is probably the best way to go. But did you ever think about what happens to those little plastic cards once we've used up our credits? They sit in a trash dump somewhere taking generations to decompose.  I know I want to be green, but I also want to be able to give gift cards. Well, Gift Zip has the solution to this shopping dilemma!

Gift Zip is a free online service where you can purchase gift cards to hundreds of leading retailers. The difference is, you don't get a plastic card that is creating unnecessary waste.  The gift recipient will get a code delivered right to their email inbox.  Its simple, secure. and again, its absolutely free!  Their list of retailers includes, but is not limited to Amazon, K-Mart, Sears, Borders, Barnes & Noble, iTunes and more.

There are lots of advantages to using Gift Zip. Not only are you not creating waste with the plastic card, you also won't have to worry about the hassle of addressing envelopes and paying for stamps.  You won't have to go to the store to pick up the card. You can order it while your sipping coffee in your pajamas.  Its available year round at any time of day. So if you need a last minute gift, it can help you avoid an awkward birthday moment or an angry spouse on an almost forgotten anniversary. But still the most important advantage is that its eco-friendly because nothing should matter more than preserving our natural resources for future generations.

Gift Zip is so sure everyone will love this amazing service, they are going to give one of my readers the chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Amazon just for checking out their website.
