STAR GIFT CERTIFICATES MAKE GIVING EASY 



Popular not only as CHRISTMAS GIFTS but also as 

 •BIRTHDAY ^ANNIVERSARY *"THANK YOU" GIFTS 



Many of our customers buy and give Star Gift 

 Certificates because they eliminate shopping time 

 and also because folks who receive a Star Gift Cer- 

 tificate have the pleasure of doing their own select- 

 ing. If you like, we will send the Gift Certificate 

 to the recipient, or you can send it yourself. 

 But remember, we do need to know the names and 

 addresses of the recipients. We will fill in his or her 

 name. Our newest catalog will be shipped direct to 

 the recipient for gift selection. Although most Gift 

 Certificates are purchased for Christmas gift giv- 

 ing, many are used throughout the year for any gift 

 occasion, such as Birthday, Anniversary, "Thank 

 You" gifts. (Note: the rosebud is sent only at 

 Christmas. For other occasions, an appropriate, 

 attractive Gift Card will be sent.) Gift Certificates 

 can be presented for any amount you wish to spend 

 for the gift.
