Gift cards can be a meaningful and personalized gift. Here are 6 ideas on how to do it.
Some gifters may say: “A gift card? Not from me! That’s too impersonal.”
But think again!
Whether it’s for a birthday or holiday, a Thank You or Get Well Soon card, or simply just because a gift card can make for a meaningful and personalized gift. If you put some thought behind it.
Why? Because a gift card still fulfills the core mission of gift-giving:
- To show you care
- To show how well you know the recipient
A gift card can be a win-win! You, the giver, can still show how much you care while the recipient is free to pick out whatever they want, whenever they want, thanks to your support.
It’s even more impactful (and can go further $$) when you make it a group gift.
In this post, we share some of the gift cards we’re loving right now that can be crowdfunded with Kudoboard.
1. For the foodie…
Why we love it: Flavors and candy combine with Cold Stone Creamery’s ice cream and frozen desserts. With many different ways to create a sweet treat, your recipient is sure to find something they like.
2. For those going through a hard time…
Why we love it: DoorDash is an online food ordering and delivery app that lets you order meals from a variety of local eateries. Do you know someone going through a difficult time? Sometimes when we’re struggling, it can be hard to eat – or even to make time to eat. Help this person get a comforting meal when they need it most with a DoorDash gift card.
3. For the outdoor adventurer…
Why we love it: REI is passionate about the outdoors and it shows in their clothing and accessory selections. With this gift card, your practical adventurer can pick from a variety of responsibly-sourced materials and contemporary designs. This is consumption with a conscience!
4. For the skincare enthusiast…
Why we love it: Sephora is a global beauty retailer with a wide range of makeup, hair care, skin care, soap products, and more. Any skincare enthusiast will enjoy this gift card for their effective formulas and delightful fragrances. Plus, all of the well-designed products they sell look fantastic on any dresser or bathroom cabinet.
5. For the travel bug…
Why we love it: Airbnb is the go-to online marketplace for alternative vacation rentals, homestays, and other tourism activities. Know someone with the travel bug? Send a gift card to Airbnb to help make it the trip of their dreams!
6. For the humanitarian in your office…
Why we love it: Sometimes the best gift is to give back! Consider the America Red Cross, a nonprofit that helps people affected by disaster across the country and around the world receive care, shelter, and hope. Donate in your recipient’s name to spread some hope and goodness. We think this is the perfect option for various gifting scenarios, including group gifts for coworkers.
