fun gift card suggestions

Because we all have busy lives, I don't often get to see my family on their birthdays or at xmas. I love sending email gift cards, but I'm running out of good stores to send cards from, and it won't be as fun if I just send the same ones every year. Share your awesome gift card secrets with me!
My family members tend to like creative, crafty, DIY, nerdy, kooky stuff - they are all really smart, love to build stuff, and appreciate a good sense of humour. Mostly looking for places that deliver to Canada, but we all travel to the States sometimes, so that's alright too. Recipients include a teacher, a cop, a university student, and 2 teenagers.
cards I have sent previously that went over well:
Amazon
thinkgeek
EB games
Lee Valley Tools
Thanks!

Lehman's, Hammacher Schlemmer, LL Bean, Bass Pro, or other stores that still print physical catalogs that can actually be included in the package with the gift card.

Archie McPhee was the first place I thought of, but they don't deliver internationally, so unless you're planning a visit to Seattle, they won't work.
