'Tis the season of giving and receiving, and though your parents might have taught you that happiness comes from the "give" part of the equation, sometimes it comes from receiving a little something for yourself. And you don't just have to trust us on that. These five metro Phoenix restaurants must know it's true because this season they're offering bonus gift card deals that mean you can treat your friends and family, as well as yourself.

Binkley's

Perfect for the advanced foodie in your life, Binkley's gift card deal is good at all four of Chef Kevin Binkley's award-winning restaurants: Binkley's, Bink's Midtown, Bink's Kitchen + Bar Scottsdale, and Cafe Bink. For every $100 spent, Binkley's will give a bonus $25 gift card to the purchaser.

Okra Cookhouse & Cocktails

Chef Cullen Campbell's new Central Phoenix eatery Okra Cookhouse & Cocktails is offering a $25 bonus gift card for every $100 spent. Treat your family and friends to fried chicken, buttermilk meatballs, and polenta or a few Southern-inspired mint juleps. The only catch? Gift card purchases that include the giveback must be purchased between December 21 and 25.

Virtù Honest Craft

Give the gift of creative seasonal cuisine by chef Gio Osso at Virtù Honest Craft. This James Beard Award-nominated restaurant will throw in an additional $25 gift card when you purchase $100, giving you the perfect excuse to come back for dinner on your own.

St. Francis

A staple of CenPho dining, St. Francis is offering $20 back for every $100 purchased in gift cards. It's one of our favorite spots for dining with the kids, so a gift card to St. Francis makes a good gift for a food-living family. Pro tip: Include a note telling the recipient of your gift card to reserve a seat outside on St. Francis' patio. There's nothing better than eating pork chile verde and drinking from its wide selection of Arizona wines under the patio's arching grape vines.

Citizen Public House

One of Old Town Scottsdale's coolest gastropubs, Citizen Public House, is offering guests a $25 bonus card when you purchase $100 in gift cards. Purchases must be made before December 25.
