Why Gift Cards Are Great Ways To Appreciate Your Family Members

This past Monday was Family Day in many provinces across Canada. Although it isn’t acknowledged in Quebec, it’s fair to say that we all should celebrate our families. While spending quality time is always a welcome activity between loved ones, gift-giving is another common tradition. The thing is that finding the perfect gifts for family members can sometimes feel like an overwhelming task.

This is where gift cards come into play! They offer a practical and flexible solution that fits nearly every occasion and personality.

Gift cards offer personalized flexibility.

Everyone has different tastes, interests and preferences. When you give a gift card as a gift, you allow your family member to choose exactly what he or she wants. Do you have relatives who are into trendy outfits? Maybe there are new gadgets they’ve been eyeing. Is a relaxing spa experience the perfect present? A gift card provides your loved ones with the freedom to treat themselves in ways that suit their personal styles.

“With a gift card you get to give your loved one a new experience!” exclaims BC’s Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce, “Maybe they wouldn’t have gone to a certain store without you inspiring them to. You give them the chance to try something new while also bringing a gift to small business owners. In addition to that, those businesses often offer custom, unique, products you can’t find elsewhere. That gift card could end up being a memorable gift after all!”

Gift cards are perfect for people of all ages.

Gift cards work for everyone. Most families are comprised of children, teens, adults and seniors. For younger kids, gift cards to toy shops or online retailers are ideal. Teens can indulge in the latest fashions or gaming consoles. Adults may appreciate gift cards to their favourite restaurants, experiences or e-commerce sites. Seniors, who may have downsized their living spaces, can use gift cards to treat themselves to services or products they truly enjoy.

“One of the best gifts to give a young adult is a gift card,” insists Gift Card Granny, “Why a gift card? Well, for one it gives them the freedom to choose exactly what they want. You won’t have to worry about getting the wrong color or size, or worse, getting them something that they have no interest in. A gift card can also be used on their schedule, when they want to use it. Most gift cards don’t expire, so it’s a safe bet they’ll have plenty of time to use it.”

Electronic gift cards make gift-giving easier than ever!

Not all family members live together. The majority of families have relatives that are based in various spots all throughout the world. Do you have family members spread across Canada? If so, e-gift cards provide an amazing convenience. You can send them via email and allow their recipients to shop at their favourite websites or apps without stepping foot inside a store.
