While some gift cards can come off as last minute or impersonal, custom gift cards are a great way to give a gift as unique as your recipient. Take life’s little moments and turn them into a holiday gift by turning the design into a
custom gift card by uploading your own photos. Add a message to the complementary greeting card describing the event as a way to share news with friends and family. Your recipient’s name is printed directly on the plastic, giving a personal touch that shows thought and effort was put into the gift.
One of my favorite events this year was rowing in the
Hoewa’a Corporate Challenge. Even though we came in 14
th out of 18, by turning it into a gift card, I can show my teammates how proud I was to be on their team. Rather than ending up in the trash can as soon as the funds have been spent, custom gift cards are often turned into keepsakes. Recipients can glue them into a scrapbook or keep them in their drawer or wallet.
“I love looking at my puppy’s picture so I have a collection of empty gift cards displayed at work that make me happy to see every day,” said marketing associate Kristen Mayo. Show your kids or your nieces and nephews how proud you are of them by turning their dance recital pictures or game winning touchdown into a gift card this holiday season. While photo albums are pushed to the backs of closest, you can give parents the chance to show off baby’s first steps and keep the custom gift card with them in their wallet long after the funds are spent.
Even selecting a design from our gift card collection can be a nice way to create a personalized gift. Finding a unique design for each of your recipients and customizing the face of the card with their name is more personal than grabbing a gift card of the shelf. It’s also faster, and safer since the card number is protected and created on demand. According to the National Retail Federation, sixty percent of Americans want to receive gift cards this year as holiday gifts. Skip the cold and crowds, create custom gift cards and complete your holiday shopping from home.
