Match the card to the person.
Why gift cards work
A good gift card is not a lazy gift. It is a way of saying you trust someone to choose. The trick is matching the card to how that person actually spends a free afternoon.
Who gets which card
- The planner who never takes the trip: an Airbnb eGift Card turns a someday weekend into a booked one.
- The one with a long watch list: a Netflix eGift Card $50 covers a few months of movie nights.
- Teachers, coaches and coworkers: a Panera Bread eGift Card buys a real lunch without feeling like too much.
- The hard-to-shop-for: a Visa Virtual eGift Card - $200 or MasterCard Virtual eGift Card works almost anywhere online.
- The person who has a cart full of saved items: an Amazon eGift Card never expires.
Gifts that keep going
Some of the best gifts are a skill. A Babbel Language Learning Software plan fits ten-minute lessons into a commute, and Rosetta Stone Sapphire Learning Software is great for someone who wants to practice speaking out loud.
The one rule
Send it with a sentence. A card that arrives with a short note about what you pictured them doing with it gets used. One without a note tends to sit in an inbox. Add your message in the order notes at checkout and we include it.
Good to know: gift cards are emailed, usually within a few hours on business days. They are final sale once sent and are not eligible for the PLATFORM10 code.
