Valentine’s Day is just two days away! Believe it or not, many Canadians who plan on celebrating the special occasion are still hunting for the perfect gifts. Finding the perfect gift can be stressful. But there is a way to take the stress out of the equation. Whether you’re shopping for a significant other, family member or friend, electronic gift cards (a.k.a. e-gift cards) offer a convenient and thoughtful solution.
Here are three reasons why electronic gift cards make perfect Valentine’s Day gifts:
1. They can be delivered instantly.
Unlike any physical gifts, e-gift cards can be received by their recipients within minutes of their purchase. If a person is short on time or simply forgot to pick up a gift, an e-gift card can be purchased and sent in almost no time. There is no need to worry about shipping delays, long checkout lines or wrapping presents. Shoppers can simply select the cards, personalize them with messages and email them to loved ones.
The personal touch of electronic gift cards should not be underestimated. Because consumers can tailor their e-gift card designs and messages, they offer a great balance of thoughtfulness and flexibility. People get to choose cards from any store, restaurant or service their loved ones will enjoy. Do they like dining out, shopping or entertainment? An e-gift card allows them to pick something they truly want while still feeling special.
2. They are ideal for long-distance relationships.
Does your significant other live in another city or province? If so, sending a physical gift can be complicated. E-gift cards, on the other hand, eliminate the hassle of shipping sometimes-large parcels. Not to mention, they ensure your Valentine receives his or her present on time. This is especially great for couples in long-distance relationships, as well as family and friends who may be celebrating from afar.
It must be mentioned that e-gift cards are also budget-friendly gift options. They provide great solutions for any price range. Whether you want to spend $20 on a coffee shop gift card or $200 on a luxury store experience, you have full control over how much you give. Plus, they help avoid the awkwardness of receiving an expensive gift in return for something less costly.
3. They’re perfect for last-minute shoppers.
Let’s be honest. Many people wait until the last minute to buy Valentine’s Day gifts. Instead of scrambling for flowers or chocolates that might already be sold out, e-gift cards ensure that recipients still get thoughtful and meaningful presents. In fact, many retailers even offer Valentine’s Day-themed digital designs. This makes the cards feel just as festive as traditional gifts.
