Since Gift Certificates cannot be assigned a category, what people usually do is create a Dynamic Category and set it's keyword to the Sku of the Gift-certificates. For example, if you have two certificates with Sku's (GiftCert1, GiftCert2), you can create a dynamic category that searches for keyword "GiftCert". Both Gift certificates should show up in that category.

Documentation on categories:

Actually, you can assign gift certificates to a category, the way you do it is create the category and then 'Choose Products', the gift certificates will be in the list of products, you just select the certificates and add them to the category.

I don't think that works in 5.6, though it may have worked in the past.

That's unfortunate. I can't wait for the enhancements to Gift Certificates; the current level of support/functionality for Gift Certs is poor in my opinion.

What enhancements are you looking for? Just curious. We just implemented gift certificates for one of our clients and the biggest flaws I see are on the admin see. You can see our implementation below. I'd love to hear your feedback.
