I need to get a present that can isn't lasting so to speak and was thus wondering if you could get gift vouchers for the bookies (any)? I was meant to go in to one today but did now have time and apparently they will not be open on Sundays? I've never even been into one so know nothing about them!

Also if so is there anyway I can purchase these online perhaps to be posted that can be used in one of the stores?

Cheers
Cassie

Not sure if they sell gift cards but Bookmakers are open on a Sunday.

Ok thanks, I'll go in tomorrow and have a word. I know I could just put the money in a card but it's not the same.

Never heard of betting gift vouchers in my life. As an alternate what about opening an online bookies account with boylesports/paddy power etc etc and placing a deposit on there for them? You're mate would probably end up with a few extra quid in bets as they do tend to have opening account offers.

That would be something I'd usually of done but under the circumstances not ideal, plus I don't think he is up to date with computers! Perhaps I could open an account/get some sort of pre paid deal with a bookies. I guess I'll have a word. Otherwise any other ideas for creative and non lasting presents for an old(er) man?

You can put money in an account and he can use it by calling the bookmaker

You can get vouchers in Coral but they may have to order them in so go and ask them sooner rather than later.
