Finding the perfect gift for a loved one can be a tough task to get right.
There is always the threat of purchasing something that does not exactly comply with their tastes or schedule, meaning an expensive investment has come to nothing – especially if there is no refund option!
This is why the gift card route is a safe bet, allowing the recipient to use it when they want and where they want.
For a girlfriend, wife or friend, there is a range of options to consider when it comes to buying the right gift card, but these 6 domains should ensure a satisfied customer.
Movie Gift Card
What to watch and when to watch it? This is a common occurrence for couples who are on a date night and want to compliment a night out with a quality movie, but what the local cinema is offering just is not up to scratch.
Today, movie gift cards come in all manner of styles and packages to make a standard 2-hour picture so much more than including some popcorn and soft drink.
With Gold Class or premium options throughout different outlets in Australia, women can celebrate their anniversary, birthday or just a weekend treat with tableside service, wine and a front row lounge seat to a feature of their choice.
Prices can range in selected cinemas from $30 up to and above $500.
Shopping Gift Card
Department stores are designed to infiltrate the senses with marketing materials to push products that customers may or may not want at the time.
With a shopping gift card, all manner of items suddenly become available: that lovely bottle of perfume, a flower arrangement that fits perfectly into the garden, a vintage bottle of white wine for that dinner party on the weekend or a dress to impress.
The benefit of a shopping gift card is the flexibility, being able to set specific price limits and options as to the outlet which they can be used.
Spa Gift Card
Any salon worth their time will offer the best spas gift card money can buy. This is all about treating her to a day of feeling beautiful, relaxed and at peace with the world – something that cannot be achieved with a home cooked meal.
The spa will give her everything from skin conditioning to pedicures, manicures, hair styles, remedial massages, facials and access to a sauna and/or pool area to ensure that she is pampered from the moment she walks into the door to the time she has to return home.
A spa gift card can be purchased throughout most major retailers in Australia and come with a packaged offering for a special occasion as well as 12 months of validation.
She can use the spa gift card to get the best facial Sydney. Facials are a great way to rejuvenate your skin and make it look years younger.
Restaurant Gift Card
If there is anything that comes down to personal taste, it has to be food.
Securing a precious restaurant gift card from any redeemable outlet around Australia will allow her to enjoy a thorough fine-dining experience, whether she prefers casual, formal or anything in between.
The land down under is world renowned for housing some of the most delicious and classy eateries on the planet, from steakhouses to seafood, vegetarian or classic meals from foreign cultures including Italian, Chinese, Indian, Spanish, French and many more.
Jewelry Gift Card
How best to find a beautiful piece of jewelry to recognize an important relationship milestone or occasion?
Sometimes a ring will not fit or compliment what she already wears, or a necklace does not quite suit her tastes.
A jewelry gift card gives her the chance to pick and choose precisely what her heart desires, opting for a golden pair of earrings, a cute little belly chain, a pin or even a glamorous brooch that can be reserved for a wedding or special engagement.
The only limit is the price that is put on the card. The rest can be left to her imagination.
Travel Gift Card
What a better gift is there then to take an adventure across an exotic land and doing it all in style?
Opting for a travel gift card is the best way to escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life by heading to a foreign land and enjoying all they have to offer.
Packages can be secured from a variety of travel agents and airlines where loyalty points can provide discounts where applicable.
Whether it be North or South America, Asia, Africa or the wonder of Europe, the world is just waiting out there to be explored.
