   ### Choose your brands
   
   Pick one brand or a hand-picked set of brands the card can be spent at.
2. 2
   
   ### Make it yours
   
   Add your own image or artwork, set the value and send cards by email or link.
3. 3
   
   ### Spend where you chose
   
   Cards work at your chosen brands in store and online, and nowhere else.
