A gift card is then selected and text data is received representing text associated with the selected gift card. Gift amount data is then received representing a fungible value associated with the selected gift card. Charge data associated with a cost associated with the gift amount is then received. Encoded data, corresponding to the gift amount, is then generated. Thereafter, a tangible gift card is generated in accordance with the selected gift card format and the received text. In accordance with one embodiment of the subject application, the encoded data is stored on a tangible medium on the tangible gift card.

Abstract: The subject application is directed to a system and method for creating customized, multimedia greeting cards via a kiosk. Template data, associated with greeting card templates, and multimedia data files are first stored in an associated data storage. Indicia are then generated on an associated display corresponding to the greeting card templates. Selection data is received corresponding to a selected greeting card template and a multimedia file is associated with the selected greeting card template. Customization data corresponding to user selected content associated with the selected greeting card template is then received. A greeting card output is thereafter generated in accordance with the received selection data, customization data, and the associated multimedia data file.
