Hi, we've designed special new printable Xmas gift cheques for you to print and give to friends.

Please let us know your feedback. Do you have any fab Xmas cheque 'gift' ideas, eg, promising to give your special someone a backrub, babysit for friends or mow Dad's lawn?

Thanks for your help

    These are wicked, exactly what I wanted for my partner as she wants clothes and this way I cover all available shops as I can just buy her gifts as and when up to the value of the cheques. Also it means I dont have the outlay up front :)

    I'm going to write some cheques for babysitting. I love babysitting my grandson -but 12 hours at a time? My daughter overlooks the true value of the service she's getting.

    I'd like to receive gift cheques for:
    a car trip to B&Q to get that 'cut-to-size' shelf I need so badly
    colour your hair at home, from my daughter

    But the best thing is- these cheques will allow me to share some of my recent win with my family.

    Another alternative is to give charity vouchers - the receiver gets to choose which charity the money goes to. A good example is charityvouchers dot org

    Perfect idea....
    Is there a way of being able to type in the details, then print, rather than printing and handwriting?

    Thanks

    I think these are great!

    I used them last year and was going to use them again this year, but the design hasn't been updated which kind of makes it a bit boring.

    Could you maybe consider a few more designs/colours? Please?

    Edit: Obviously a bit late for this year, but something to consider for next year maybe?

    I went searching for some free templates and I found a site that had some really nice and decent free word templates. So I'm sharing here in case it helps someone else and saves them time and money.

    If you have photoshop or another type of programme like that, which allows you to take a picture stored on your computer and change it by adding words etc, then simply save the 'cheque' to your pictures folder(s) then open up the picture in your photoshop programe (or similar) and add the wording you wish to be printed on the cheque, then simply print out the cheque on your printer.



    GREAT cheques MSE Jenny!     Many thanks for them, - wishing you a blessed and happy Christmas!
