eGift Cards Are The Thoughtful Gifting #eHolidays
It is November!! You know what that means right? The Holiday Season has begun. Now, is the time to start thinking about GIFTS. I have heard over the years that digital gift cards are not a thoughtful gift and it is very impersonal to give gift cards. I could not disagree more! In today’s economy people do not want a bunch of junk gifts they are never going to use. Letting them pick out their own gifts allows them the fun of shopping and buying a present they actually really will love and enjoy.
If you are the type of person to feel a bit embarrassed about sending a digital gift card, your worries are over now. There are ways to make the delivery of a digital gift card more personalized. The Gift Card Shop allows you to give a digital gift card your personal touch using an eCard, Photobook, or a Video Greeting. There is even an option to add sound, personalize with your own voice, or a video of yourself delivering the message!
The Gift Card Shop offers the most popular gift cards to choose from. You can choose which popular store/website you would like to give for your friends or family. I know we are chatting about the holiday season but, just know they have cards for all kinds of different occasions.
First pick which you would like to do, add a Gift Card to an eCard, Photobook, or a Video Greeting.
You can personalize an eCard…..
Or choose the Photobooks option to create a special greeting using your personal photos. There are two ways to deliver a gift card, you can send them email or have a greeting card and gift card mailed to their home address.
If you want a little more personalized pick a video they have made already or create your own. The recipient will know you put a lot of thought and effort into their gift with any of these options you choose.
I created a Photobook. First, you pick the theme you would like then click on the image to start adding text and pictures. You can add images from your computer, Facebook, or Instagram. Load them up top then drag them down on the pages you want them. You add images on each page while editing the text also. No worries if you want to change things around. You can go go back and forth in your photobook until you have it perfect.
While working on your photobook you can edit your images to fit correctly also.
When you are done you can choose to the photobook via email or Facebook. At any time you can choose to add a gift card to your photobook. I am going to add an Amazon Gift Card.
Next, review your order.
That is it! Add it to you cart and check out. The Gift Card Shop is a super user friendly site. It only took me maybe five minutes to order my photobook. I think it took me the longest to think of what I wanted to say. lol
You can schedule your gifts to be delivered ahead of time. This is perfect for me because our holiday season this year is going to be super busy! If you do choose to do them now, I have two great offers for you!
$5 coupon code for the first 100 people! Use the code MERRY5 at checkout before they run out! (While supplies last. Limit one per customer)
Then, 11/9 through 11/15 – Purchase $100 eBay gift card and receive a FREE personalized greeting card. Enter FREECARD at checkout to receive one free greeting card while supplies last. Limit one offer per customer.
I’d love to hear how you would personalize your gift from The Gift Card Shop. Tell me which you would choose to send.

I really like the idea of e-gift cards; I would choose Amazon e-cards as I know many people love to shop at Amazon on-line. Thanks for posting!
Saurabh Darade says
This is great! November is always such prospering month!
I love the concept of E-gifts
Kristin K says
Christmas seems to come earlier, and earlier every year! I know that it’s always on December 25…LOL…but, the year goes by so fast that I can’t believe it’s time to shop again. It does stress me out every year, but by the time the day is here, I’m thankful and happy!!!

debbie campbell says
That is a great idea, since I have so many friends and family members that live far away. It is so expensive to mail gifts!
Tina Truex says
Love the idea of an e-card. I always say I will send cards… but never do. This would at least get some Christmas cheer to friends and family.
janet aycock says
i love to shop at amazon
Chum says

Jeanna Massman says
I think ecards are great gifts, especially if they be personalized. I would be happy to receive one myself.
salexis says
E-gift cards are great for sending to family and friends who are far away! Most of my family are spread out all over, and mailing gifts can be quite expensive!
Hannah C says

I love giving and yes I do like receiving gift cards or gift card codes for the Christmas holiday, I just find it easier to either have them pick out what they truly want ..

Jennifer Boehme says
I like how you can send a video ecard. Some family members out of state would love receiving this!
Stephanie Liske says
I really like the idea of the e-card. I just don’t know that my family would feel the same way.
Sandra Watts says
I would not mind getting gift cards. I do most of my shopping online so it works for me.
PuffBiggly says
I love to give and receive e-gift cards. I’ve never heard of the Gift Card Shop. Thanks for sharing!
Kelly O says
I totally agree. I don’t think that gift cards are impersonal! In fact I think it is such a great option. People can get what they need/want and save me money by not buying things that people don’t like or need to return for whatever reason. I have a list on Amazon for my “wishes”. When I get an Amazon card it usually goes towards a purchase that I am saving up for. I find it really helpful and I am always extra thankful.
Deanne Patterson says
What a fun, creative and time saving way to stay in touch during the holidays. Time to try this.
Mark Warren says
totally agree. i prefer gcs
Sarah Kurtz says
I absolutely love this idea! Thank you for sharing.
Crystal Mckinley says
I love buying egift cards because they give me access to stores that I may not be able to find nearby.
