Head over to Restaurant. com to get a 25.00 certificate for 2.00.  Lots of local restaurants across the nation are signed up for this deal.  Use promo code GIVE to get the discount.

We've used these gift certificates a number of times.  You have to order 35.00 in food and drink, but the final price ends up being around 12.00.  I use these gift certificates for gifts for our children and their families that live out of state too.
