If the endless gift options overwhelm your holiday spirit, gift cards remain a convenient, foolproof choice. Whether you want to surprise your loved ones, employees, seniors or order custom designs, gift cards check all the boxes.
Let’s unwrap creative ways to select the perfect gift cards for Christmas 2023.
Gift cards make splendid presents only when tailored to the recipient’s tastes. Brainstorming gift options for:
Friends and Family: Focus on their hobbies, interests and where they love to shop. Gift cards from popular stores like Amazon, Target or Sephora are safe picks. Or, choose activity-specific ones for movie buffs, coffee fans, bookworms and more. Consider avoiding overly restrictive gift cards to allow more freedom.
Seniors: Comfort and accessibility are key. Opt for widely accepted cards like Visa or grocery store gift cards allowing them to obtain essentials. Introducing gift card mail delivery services helps seniors redeem them easily without having to venture out. Consider nominating a trusted person to assist them with online gift card use.
Employees: Go broad. Multi-brand gift cards, e.g. American Express, let them spend according to their needs. Or, motivate them with cards supporting self-care purchases. Gift card nominal values should align with company culture and norms. Consider employee preferences and purchasing power parity.
Clients: Build goodwill with premium gift cards that provide an exclusive, VIP feel. Accompany them with a handwritten holiday card appreciating their loyalty. Ensure your gift doesn’t exceed legal or industry thresholds. Opt for universal cards if client preferences are unclear.
Some types of gift cards strike a chord more than others each holiday season. In 2023, popular picks include:
Custom Designs: Adding a personal touch, like family photos or the recipient’s interests makes store-issued cards more special. Sites like Square Gifts facilitate easy online design and delivery. Consider inside jokes or special memories in the designs.
Digital Gifts: As sustainability consciousness grows, eGifts help reduce holiday waste without compromising thoughtfulness. They also enable easy, last-minute purchases! Opt for multi-channel retailers allowing both digital and plastic gift card redemption.
Subscription Services: From streaming channels to food deliveries, these cards gift long-term enjoyment. Choose flexible subscriptions allowing activation timing and cancellation terms. Consider bundled subscriptions for broader access.
Experience Gifts: Adventure-seekers will relish cards for concerts, outdoor activities, spas and more as unforgettable gifts. Pick experiences suiting their exact interests for extra thoughtfulness.
Eco-Conscious Brands: Supporting brands that give back makes a meaningful statement. Seek out gift cards that benefit environmental causes or ethical practices.
DIY Kits: Give the gift of creativity with DIY kits related to their hobbies. Pair with craft store gift cards for ongoing project supplies.
Thoughtful gift card pairings, bundled together based on themes, impress every recipient. Delightful Christmas gift card combo ideas include:
The Movie Night Bundle: Movie tickets, cinema snack vouchers, Netflix subscription.
The Coffee Lover’s Kit: Specialty shop card, coffee bean grinder, reusable tumbler.
The French Picnic: Wine, charcuterie boxes, bakery gift certificate.
The Cozy Night In: Streaming channels, blanket, hot cocoa sampler set.
The Outdoor Adventure: State park pass, sporting goods store card, hiking gear voucher.
The Self-Care Retreat: Yoga studio classes, bath products, candle sampler.
The Sweet Tooth: Gourmet chocolate shop, bakery card, unusual candy/desserts.
The Family Game Night: Board game shop card, pizza delivery voucher, snacks.
