When you buy the guitar lesson gift certificate, a "gifter" account is created for you on TheGuitarLesson.com. You can log in at any time, and have the system send the gift certificate email whenever you like. Your recipient will receive an email with a personal message from you, which you write when you purchase the gift certificate. An activation link to create a pre-paid premium account is automatically included in the email. Email sending cannot be pre-scheduled at this moment. You need to log in and send it when you want the person to receive it.
