Are you running out of time to get your holiday gifts? Or, are you like most people and have that one person who is difficult to buy for? I know I have issues with finding gifts for a few different people on my list. This is when I turn to gift cards – they are the easiest way to ensure your recipient gets exactly what they want for Christmas.
I for one love getting gift cards, that way I can go shopping! Yay! Don’t get me wrong, I love the gifts that people pick out for me, but this way I can get exactly what I have been wanting and not have to worry about telling people what I want, or having them guess. I never know what to tell people what I want and it feels weird being a 40 year old woman telling people, to be perfectly honest.
When I give gift cards, I like to place them inside of a decorative box, it makes it looks so much more festive than a traditional envelope. Sometimes I use the small gift bags or maybe buy a smaller gift that is in relation to the gift card to give along with the card. My son’s love video games, so it’s always fun to add a gift card along with a game related gift, like a case or game accessory.
If you love giving gift cards or need a gift in a pinch, the new eGift Social page on Facebook makes it super easy to send a real gift to your special recipient. Each gift is redeemable with a special code at multiple retailers, including Cold Stone, Culver’s, Kmart, Dots, Sears, Burger King, Boston Market and Joe’s Crab Shack. eGift Social was created by First Data, a global technology and payments processing leader and is extremely unique for all of us Facebook addicts.
Now you can send a real gift to spice up that gift card. Like a Sephora gift card paired with a new makeup bag so they can fill it with goodies, or a gift card to Kmart paired with cute kitchen towels, the possibilities are endless and your recipient will love receiving your thoughtful gift.
eGift Social is accessible via a web-enabled mobile phone or the Facebook application. Just add the application, choose a gift, then a recipient and a notification will be sent via Facebook message or by email, giving them instructions on how to redeem their gift, it’s that easy!
Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of First Data and received an eGift gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
