Use this guide to learn the best practices for sending Christmas gift cards, plus get some top tips on how to create a lovely experience for your recipients.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

Why Christmas Gift Cards Are a Wonderful Idea<\/b><\/h2>\n

The holiday season is full of things to organize, buy, and arrange. At the top of the list is often Christmas gifting, which adds a whole new layer of finding the perfect present, wrapping it, and mailing it to your loved one. However, Christmas gift cards make the entire gift-giving process a whole lot easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

They Give Your Gift Recipient the Ultimate Choice<\/b><\/h3>\n

The beauty of gift cards is that your recipient gets to buy exactly what they want. They don\u2019t have to worry about giving you the perfect hint or asking outright, and you don\u2019t have to feel anxious about picking out the right gift.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gift cards remove all the stress about gifting for you while ensuring your friends or family members end up with something they truly want. They also get the fun of post-Christmas sales to hunt out a bargain or saving up their gift cards to put towards an extra special treat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Loved One Can Go Guilt-Free Shopping<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s so easy to end up spending cash gifts on things like bills and groceries. But with a Christmas gift card, your loved one can treat themselves to something they might not have bought otherwise.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a gift card in hand, they can spend some time browsing or researching what they\u2019d like to buy. Then they can treat themselves to a new wallet, scarf, or meal subscription service without feeling guilty about it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You Don\u2019t Need to Worry About Mailing Gifts<\/b><\/h3>\n

Christmas is such a busy time for us all, and it\u2019s no surprise that cards or gifts get sent late. Packaging everything and meeting <\/span>holiday shipping dates<\/span><\/a> is tough \u2014 especially if your gift recipient lives on the opposite side of the country or the world!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gift cards are so small you can easily send them to loved ones alongside a card in the mail. You don\u2019t need to weigh parcels or figure out the best way to mail them. Even better, most gift cards are now available in a digital format \u2014 so you can be the most last-minute shopper ever and still get them there in time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You Can Buy Them at a Discount<\/b><\/h3>\n

Many retailers offer gift cards at some kind of discount. You might be able to score 20% off when you buy one compared to the value amount, or get a deal where you can buy two for a better price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This makes Christmas gift cards a great gift option if you\u2019re on a budget or want to make your Christmas funds go further. It\u2019s also perfect if you have a lot of people to buy for \u2014 like multiple clients, coworkers, or family members.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Christmas Gift Card Recipient List<\/b><\/h2>\n

Gift cards are convenient, versatile, and customizable, so you can find the perfect gift card for your parents, relatives, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Family Members<\/b><\/h3>\n
\"Christmas

We\u2019ve all been there \u2014 you ask your parents or your sibling what they\u2019d like for Christmas and they tell you they don\u2019t know. Instead of hunting around for a gift that you\u2019re not completely sure about, surprise them with a gift card instead. You know them well enough to choose a gift card to their favorite store, restaurant, or hotel chain, and they can then buy or book their perfect gift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the flip side, gift cards are also great for family members who you don\u2019t know all that well. Have multiple cousins, grandchildren, or relatives overseas? Send them a gift card that can be used across a range of stores, so they can use it at their favorite place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gift cards are also perfect stocking stuffer gifts. Pick out a gift card for a coffee shop, or streaming service like Netflix, and pop it in your family member’s stocking as an extra gift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Friends<\/b><\/h3>\n
\"Christmas

As with family members, it\u2019s often our friends who say they don\u2019t need anything from us. It\u2019s usually true \u2014 as adults if we need something, we tend to buy it ourselves. But when you still want to treat your friends to something special at Christmas, gift cards are a great way to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Send a close friend a gift card to a restaurant you both love, and suggest you two make plans to catch up over some bubbly in the New Year. Have a friend who\u2019s an avid gamer? Load up a gift card with funds they can spend on new content for their favorite game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you know a budding gardener, get them up with a gift card for a plant subscription service where they can learn and grow their own at the same time. Gift cards for DIY stores are a lovely idea if you have a friend who’s renovating or loves a project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coworkers<\/b><\/h3>\n
\"Christmas

Gift giving for coworkers over the holidays can be challenging sometimes. Often there\u2019s a company-wide or team gifting activity, like a Secret Santa, where you have a set amount to buy a gift. At other companies, there\u2019s nothing formal but you might still want to buy someone a thank you gift. Either way, gift cards are the way to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas gift cards are ideal options for gifting to coworkers \u2014 especially if you don\u2019t know them that well. You don\u2019t need to worry about whether they\u2019ll \u201cget\u201d your joke gift, or if you\u2019ve chosen the right type of wine. Instead, you can present them with an Amazon gift card so they can spend it on anything. Or opt for a gift certificate to a local restaurant and personalize it with a recommendation of your favorite dish to try there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clients<\/b><\/h3>\n
\"Christmas

Most companies send Christmas or <\/span>holiday greeting cards<\/span><\/a> to their clients, customers, and partners. Sometimes these are mailed out, other times they\u2019re eco-friendly online cards. Alongside this, you might want to send a small Christmas present to a client \u2014 or a larger holiday gift to one of your major customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gift cards are great options here as your client can use the funds to buy something for their workplace that everyone can enjoy. Worried your client won\u2019t be at their office over the holidays? Avoid this and stick to your eco-friendly credentials by sending a digital Christmas gift card.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Neighbors<\/b><\/h3>\n
\"Christmas

Surprise your neighbor and spread some holiday cheer by giving them a Christmas gift card.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gift cards for coffee shops are great for this, as you can often buy them in low dollar amounts like $5 or $10. Hand out a Starbucks gift card early and your neighbor can then treat themselves to a holiday beverage while they finish their Christmas shopping. Another great option is a marketplace site like <\/span>Etsy<\/span><\/a>, where they can pick up a small handmade gift they love.<\/span><\/p>\n

To ace your Christmas gift card buying and sending this year, here are some of our top tips to help you create a fun, memorable experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose an Interest- or Hobby-Based Gift Card<\/b><\/h3>\n

Store gift cards are great as you can use them to buy a variety of items, but a lovely alternative is a personalized gift card based on your recipient\u2019s interests or hobbies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Know someone who\u2019s starting a new career? Send them a gift voucher for an online learning platform where they can pick up some new skills. Is your best friend a beauty lover? Send them a gift card for a beauty school, where they can take a makeup class with an expert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Encourage Your Loved One to Treat Themselves\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Forget practicality and opt for a gift card option that lets your recipient really indulge themselves. This is the perfect option for people who have had a tough year, or don\u2019t usually treat themselves over other people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gift cards for spas and hotel groups are ideal for this, as your friend or family member can choose a treatment and relax. Other great options include a gift card for a luxury chocolatier, wine merchants, high-end beauty retailer, or luxury bed linen company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make Sure Your Gift Cards Arrive Before Christmas<\/b><\/h3>\n

After-Christmas sales are the ideal time to pick up a bargain, so make sure your gift cards arrive early enough that your loved ones can put them to good use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Give yourself plenty of time to choose, buy, and mail out your gift cards. Alternatively, go for the simpler option \u2014 send a digital Christmas gift card. That way you can even send them out even on Christmas Day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Include a Personalized Note<\/b><\/h3>\n

Sometimes people look at gift cards as an easy option and see them as a less personal gift. That isn\u2019t the case, but you can take your gift idea one step further and give your recipient a personalized note to read when they open up the envelope.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re sending a physical gift card or a digital one, send a short but sweet note alongside it. Spread some festive cheer and let your recipient know you\u2019re thinking of them this holiday season. You could even include a note about why you chose this gift card and suggest some ideas on how they can treat themselves with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
