To redeem an AriYARN egift card (egift card code) online, go to ariyarn.com/store, add items to your cart, and enter the code at checkout. The balance applies to your total and any remainder stays available for later.

To redeem in-store, bring the emailed code (or the physical card) to AriYARN Shop & Studio at 153 N Northwest Hwy, Park Ridge, IL 60068. We’ll apply it at our cashless register and you can pay any remaining balance by card or digital wallet.

egift card vs. gift certificate (what people mean when they search)

These keywords show up constantly in search tools — and shoppers often use them interchangeably. Here’s the plain-English difference so you can confidently gift (or redeem) the right thing.

Term people type
“egift card” / “egift cards”
  1. A digital gift card — usually delivered by email.
  2. Includes a redeemable code (sometimes a QR or barcode).
  3. Used at online checkout or scanned/entered in-store.
Term people also type
“gift certificate”
  1. Often means a printable or email-based voucher with a code.
  2. Sometimes used for “experience gifts” (classes/workshops).
  3. In practice, many shoppers use it like “egift card.”

At AriYARN: whether you call it a gift certificate, an egift card, or a gift card — redemption happens the same way: use the code at checkout online (on /store) or show the code in person at our register.

Step 1 — Buy an AriYARN gift card / egift card

You can buy an AriYARN gift card in two ways: online (as an egift card delivered by email) or in-store as a physical card (with the same type of redeemable code).

Option A
Buy online (egift card delivered by email)
  1. Visit ariyarn.com/store.
  2. Find the gift card item/section and choose an amount.
  3. Checkout with card or digital wallet.
  4. Check your inbox for the egift card code.
Option B
Buy in-store (physical gift card + code)
  1. Visit AriYARN at 153 N Northwest Hwy, Park Ridge, IL 60068.
  2. Ask our team to load a gift card amount at checkout.
  3. You’ll receive a physical card and/or receipt with details.
  4. Redeem using the code in-store or online later.
Step 2 — Redeem your egift card online (ariyarn.com/store)

Redeeming an egift card online is quick — and it’s the most common “gift certificate” use case too. Your gift card balance applies to your purchase total automatically once the code is accepted.

Online redemption
Use your code at checkout
  1. Go to ariyarn.com/store and add items to your cart (yarn, tools, kits, etc.).
  2. Proceed to checkout and locate the gift card/code field.
  3. Enter the code exactly (watch for 0 vs O).
  4. Apply it — the system subtracts the balance from your total.
  5. Pay any remaining balance and place your order.
Good to know
Partial balances & future purchases
  1. If your order is less than the card amount, the remainder stays on the gift card.
  2. Save the email/code until the balance is fully used.
  3. If you’re stuck, contact us with the purchaser name + approximate date.

AI-search phrasing that matches real intent: “How do I redeem an egift card?” and “How do I use a gift certificate online?” are usually the same question — this section answers both for AriYARN.

Step 3 — Redeem your gift card in-store (Park Ridge studio)

Redeeming in person is just as easy: show the email code (egift card) or bring the physical card. We’ll apply it at the register, and you can cover any remainder with card or digital wallet.

In-store redemption
Use your gift card code at the register
  1. Bring the emailed code (egift card) or the physical card with you.
  2. Choose yarn, tools, kits, or eligible class registration.
  3. At checkout, tell us you’re paying with a gift card.
  4. We’ll enter/scan the code and apply the available balance.
Cashless studio
How gift cards work with cashless checkout
  1. AriYARN does not accept cash.
  2. Gift cards act like store credit and work seamlessly at checkout.
  3. Great for gifting when the recipient doesn’t want to store a card online.

Troubleshooting: egift card code not working

If you tried to redeem an egift card (or “gift certificate”) and it didn’t apply, here are the most common fixes:

  • Re-check the characters: copy/paste the code and confirm 0 vs O and 1 vs I.
  • Try a different device/browser: mobile checkout can behave differently than desktop.
  • Confirm you’re on AriYARN /store: our gift cards are redeemable only at ariyarn.com/store or in-store.
  • Check partial usage: the code may have been used before and only a smaller remaining balance is left.
Important notes (store-specific gift certificate + egift card use)

AriYARN gift cards, egift cards, and gift-certificate-style codes are intended for use only with AriYARN — either in person at our Park Ridge studio or online through ariyarn.com/store.

  • Store-specific: AriYARN gift cards are not valid at other yarn stores or retailers.
  • Non-cash: gift cards are not redeemable for cash except where required by law.
  • Eligibility: typically usable for yarn, tools, kits, and many classes/workshops unless clearly noted otherwise.

Tip for gifting: if you want the gift to “feel” like a classic gift certificate, print the email with the egift card code and tuck it into a card — the redemption steps are the same.
