Lift Holiday Spirits with Gift Cards

Gift Cards for Grandparents

When your children are grown with families of their own, what do you want them to remember about the #pandemicholidays of 2020? Clearly, this is a question for the ages. Because of social distancing restrictions from COVID-19, we simply can’t be together as usual this year. At eGifter, we always see the glass as very full. We are convinced that gift cards can supply just the magic you need. Read on for a uniquely wonderful gifting idea that can have a long lasting impact on your child and your family. The simple act of kindness (and fun!) suggested here can bring everyone together in unexpected, meaningful ways. For everyone you love, especially the grandparents, lift holiday spirits with gift cards!

Make it Extra Special for the Grandparents

If you’re lucky enough to be in the ‘sandwich generation”, you’re certainly hyper-focused on your folks. Grandparents have had it particularly rough this year, what with not being able to hug the grandkids. If they live close enough for a drive-by, this post is meant especially for you.

Shop For a Gift Card. Select Print Delivery.

The holiday magic we’re talking about is valuable but not necessarily expensive. eGifter sells hundreds of gift cards for $20 and less. Shop from hundreds of top brands at retail stores and restaurants your parents will enjoy. The idea here is to help your child produce a special gift card creation for a grandparent (or, a relative or friend.) The personal message and photo will become part of the lasting treasure that means the world to that special someone. 

Here’s how: Navigate to eGifter.com, select a gift card and Create a Gift for “Print & Hand Delivery”

Need some gift card ideas? Here you go! 
  • Restaurants! Such as Olive Garden, Applebees, TGI Fridays™ 
  • Home and Garden! For instance, Target, TJ Maxx, Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts
  • Health, Spa and Beauty! Including CVS Pharmacy, The Vitamin Shoppe, Bed, Bath & Beyond

Make Memories with Kids. Color Together! 

Children love it when their parents participate in their games and activities. Today is a great day to spend coloring together! Decorate the “Giftable PDF” with stickers, messages and pictures. Take photos of the kids doing the artwork. Shoot a few selfies together. Years down the road, you’ll love looking back on this special memory. The end result of today’s arts and crafts project will be a “Giftable PDF”. This neatly folded, handmade greeting card displays the valued gift card, redeemable at retail. Alongside the gift card are personal messages and photos. Together, it’s a bundle of joy.

Christmas Morning, Knock at the Door….

Place the Giftable PDF in a box, gift bag or envelope.  Leave it on the  doorstep. Ring the bell and take a bunch of socially distant steps backward.

Witness the Moment of Joy and Delight

The looks on their faces as they see their family a safe distance away will be priceless. For sure, they’ll appreciate the gift card, meant to buy an item they need or want. But, the real bonus here is the “Giftable PDF”, packed with sentiments they can savor for years to come. It doesn’t take much to lift holiday spirits with gift cards! Forevermore, 2020 can be remembered as the year of love and compassion.

A Life Lesson – Compassion and Family Values

In the year of a pandemic, there is a silver lining. We have a firsthand, personal opportunity to demonstrate care and compassion to our children. The time spent together to create happiness for loved ones is a true lasting treasure. What’s more, the joy they’ll have created will bring smiles and warm hearts for years to come. Your children will learn to be better friends and more sensitive humans. Fostering a sense of family values and social responsibility is the magic we need. And, we’ll be building future generations that can truly change the world.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Jelly Donuts – A Chanukah Gift Card Tradition

Traditions create a sense of comfort and belonging, especially during challenging and unusual times, like the #pandemicholidays of 2020. Holiday traditions and customs reinforce values and create lasting memories with family and friends. That’s why today’s answer to “how are you going to make the holidays special this year?” is particularly sweet. Everyone knows the eGifter Marketplace is flush with hundreds of gifting options. There, you’ll discover hundreds of retail branded gift cards — all holiday shopper certified. 🛍 As the Jewish Festival of Chanukah begins, let the sweet treat gift cards roll! Yes, indeed — we’re talking about jelly donuts — a Chanukah gift card tradition. 

Why Jelly Donuts on Chanukah?

The Jewish holiday of Chanukah celebrates victory over a tyrant king and the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem. After the Temple was destroyed, there was one cruse of pure oil that should have kept the menorah lit for just one day. But, miraculously, the oil and light lasted for 8 days. Long story short, it was one cruse of oil that ignited the Chanukah miracle. So, each December, we celebrate the “festival of lights” to represent light that shines on all future generations. We actively participate by spinning dreidels, lighting menorahs to enjoy foods cooked in oil. So, there you have it — the donut!

The Best Jelly Donuts Around

At eGifter, we have the recipe for great gifts for any holiday. As you know, we sell gift cards galore. It’s easy and fun to make this years’s holiday cozy and bright, whether you celebrate religiously, spiritually or neither! Send them gift cards for jelly donuts — and bring on the smiles, comfort and memories.

“Sufganiyot” — The Jelly Donut Tradition

No matter what holiday you observe, it’s always fun and interesting to trace back the origin of traditions. The more holiday history we know, the more connected and joyful we can be.

Namaste Safe this Holiday Season…with Gift Cards!

This holiday season, we continue to challenge ourselves with the question: “How can we help make the holidays special this year?” The discovery continues! Clearly, the number one priority is to stay healthy and safe. Today’s tip: Add a regular exercise regimen — and encourage your housemates to join you. A sure fire way to make the holidays feel special is to treat yourself special. Benefits include stress reduction, weight loss and increased strength. Getting your fitness on is a productive way to pass the time (and skip the cookies), safely at home. So, for today’s “special holidays” plug, put little extra oomph, and ohm, in your life with gift cards.

Get Fit This Holiday Season…with Gift Cards

If you’re looking for some shopping and gifting inspiration, look no further than eGifter.com. We have all the best retail brands for workout gear, sports equipment and exercise apparel. The extra motivation through a special delivery of a fitness category gift card, might be just the push your loved one needs to walk, run or pose. Check out Lululemon, REI and Dick’s Sporting Goods, to name just a few.

  • Exercise boosts the immune system: Research indicates that regular exercise benefits our immune system, to potentially fight off infections — including COVID-19.
  • Exercise reduces anxiety and stress: Get going! Walking, hiking, planking and even simple routines for deep breathing are proven mood-boosters and mind relaxers. 
  • Exercise with family and housemates: Get together safely with those inside your “bubble”. Challenge each other by inventing workout routines and be sure to turn up the volume on the playlist you’re curating in the process.
  • Exercise can be done virtually: From Pilates to strength training, from yoga to dance, you can workout solo or with friends, virtually. The trick is to get started. Like, now!

In a nutshell, it’s beginning to look a lot like FITmas!  

So, keep fit and namaste safe this holiday season…with fitness gift cards from eGifter!
