Birthday Card and Gift Certificates

Birthday cards with a photo of you and the birthday person in it are fun. The photo in the birthday card can be recent or old. Pictures of toddlers at earlier birthdays are sure to get a laugh from the older child or teenager. For an affordable gift, include a gift certificate for some activity with your birthday card.
