You provide the PIN to a friend so they may redeem the gift certificate at Sweet Medicine Shoppe, either online or in person. Gift Certificates may be used in full or they can visit at a later time to redeem the remaining balance. if you prefer that we email you (or the giftee) a actual gift certificate just let us know. We can also snail mail one if you desire. No additional charges for mailing, no sales tax.
