&lt;p&gt;In past years, we&amp;#39;ve been delighted to hear from several of you who want to give BigOven to&amp;nbsp;friends or family members. As most of you know, we primarily license our product as a download-only, in part to keep our prices extremely low.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Want to give &lt;a href="http://www.bigoven.com/about_bigoven.aspx"&gt;BigOven for Windows&lt;/a&gt; as a gift?&amp;nbsp; We&amp;#39;ve created an easy &lt;b&gt;Instant Gift Certificate&lt;/b&gt; for you to use.&amp;nbsp; This lets your recipient enjoy the product right away, from any computer. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BigOven is a great stocking stuffer or holiday gift for the foodie, dieter, or new cook&amp;nbsp;in your life.&amp;nbsp; Here&amp;#39;s all you need to do:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1)&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.bigoven.com/downloads/bigovengiftcertificate2.pdf"&gt;Download&lt;/a&gt; our Gift Certificate PDF.&amp;nbsp; Save it to your PC, and print it, ideally&amp;nbsp;on a color printer with nice quality paper.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2)&amp;nbsp; Visit our &lt;a href="http://www.bigoven.com/buy_it.aspx"&gt;online store&lt;/a&gt; to purchase a serial number for BigOven. You&amp;#39;ll use &lt;i&gt;your &lt;/i&gt;credit card and email address to actually purchase, but don&amp;#39;t worry -- all you need to give them is their serial number. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3)&amp;nbsp; Once you&amp;#39;ve purchased, simply write that serial number in the space provided on the gift certificate.&amp;nbsp; (Note -- to avoid confusion, please note that BigOven serial numbers never have any letter O&amp;#39;s, only zeroes.) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s it!&amp;nbsp; The recipient simply downloads the software from &lt;a href="http://www.bigoven.com/"&gt;www.bigoven.com&lt;/a&gt; and enters the serial number to enable the full product.&amp;nbsp; Makes a great last-minute gift, stocking stuffer, or unique gift for a foodie when invited over for dinner this holiday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(If you&amp;#39;d like the physical product, you can download &amp;quot;bigoven1.exe&amp;quot; from our download center -- that&amp;#39;s the trial deluxe edition -- and copy that onto a CD-ROM to include in your gift, or pre-order a copy with the backup CD-ROM option to be mailed to you.)&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
