Working remotely over the past few months, our loyal pets have remained by our sides virtually 24/7. To animal lovers like us, this has been an unforeseen and wonderful gift. And our pets seem happier than ever to have us constantly nearby. Do you notice that they are extra clingy? Well, perhaps that’s a projection. True, we at eGifter.com are having tremendous success. We’re doing a yeoman’s job of providing online shopping experiences to at-home buyers through gift card purchases. Now, we’re taking a beat to recognize our furry friends for the gifts they bring to us. We recognize that our little buddies definitely deserve a treat. (Plus, we can’t resist sharing the cuteness!) Without further ado, we present pawesome gift cards for pet lovers like us.
Here’s to ALL of the animals in our lives — and to the families that adore them.

Gift cards are the best last minute gifts for so many reasons. For one thing, the vast selection of retail brands makes it easy to shop (check them out, here).

There’s Nothing like a Mother’s Love
When it comes to moms, one thing is for sure: A mother’s love is like nothing else in the world. The mix of unconditional love, fierce protection, self sacrifice and bursting pride help build the steady ground upon which our entire lives take shape. Moms quietly and powerfully instill valuable life lessons and values from our birthday candle moments – to reassuring conversations after disappointments – to boundary setting when needed. In the rear view mirror of life, we realize their every intention was borne from love and commitment — whether or not we knew it at the time. Just notice the popsicle stick photo frames and handmade crayon cards *still* on display. Through it all, Moms love us in ways we may not always understand…until we have children of our own. 🙂

When the going gets tough, Americans rise to the occasion. Finding simple sources of comfort and ways to help have become standard orders of the day during COVID-19. These include things like finding the helpers (and being the helpers). Also, giving of ourselves (and gift cards when we can). We have a long way to go until all of the pressures of COVID-19 subside. In the meantime, everyone has a chance to help communities with gift cards. These include gift cards for groceries, medical essentials and tools for household repairs.
Help Communities with Gift Cards
COVID-19 is a Hardship. Everyday People Can Help.
The sage advice from Mr. Rogers, famed children’s television personality, would have us look for the helpers. It’s easy to find them. Just look for the drive-by parades through parking lots of nursing homes and assisted living facilities. The outpouring of love, thanks and recognition to our homebound elders are amazing gifts, indeed.
Gift Cards Can Help You Make a Difference Today
If you’re searching for a way to give an affordable, meaningful gift to someone that can really use it, here are a few ideas to help communities with gift cards.
Find a local blood drive and donate much needed blood or platelets (search Red Cross locations)
Drop off food at your local food pantry. If you can’t get there personally or want to contribute to a food donation center at a distant location, you can easily deliver groceries by sending them a Target gift card or Walmart gift card
Encourage your local Chamber of Commerce to claim their FREE listing at OperationMainStreet.com. Doing so can have a dramatically positive impact on helping your local business community and their employees survive the economic downturn of COVID-19
Send a gift card to purchase a vegetable garden — deliver the gift card by text or email . With both online and in-store redemption, Home Depot gift cards and Lowe’s gift cards let them purchase seeds and starter plants for vegetables and fruit that can actually feed a family
Help them to help others! Donate fabric for masks by sending Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores gift card to the crafty people you know. The shortfall of masks for local businesses and healthcare locations can be built up with this grassroots effort.
Call the seniors and singles in your life just to say hello. It may be the only friendly, personal voice they hear today.
Please share your own story of optimism, healing and the human spirit.

But our ability to offer great deals and savings to Fanatics gift card customers is not what makes us proud at this particular moment. In our opinion, it takes more than great products, services, gift card distribution, customer service and engineering innovation for a business to transform from great to truly legendary, like Fanatics. To that end, Michael Rubin and the entire Fanatics team get kudos for demonstrating the manufacturing prowess and heart for which America has always been known. American pride, indeed. Without further ado, we bring you our Partner Spotlight: Fanatics Gift Cards.
Manufacturing Ingenuity: A Heroic Response
A Clear Gap Becomes Apparent
As the nation and the world watched the vertical climb of statistical rates of infection, hospitalizations and mortality, one of the most reported shortfalls in our ability to respond became clear. Healthcare workers were becoming dramatically limited in their ability to perform front line jobs due to a lack of personal protective equipment (PPE). As we watched news footage and read news articles, the PPE deficit occurred as insurmountable.
Enter Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin, who began to lose sleep along with the rest of us, wondering how to make a difference in the fight against the COVID-19 virus pandemic that continues to rock the world. On March 17, he heard about the shortages of tests, respirators and everyday supplies that created severe challenges for health-care workers. In the uniquely powerful position of running a massive fabric-based production operation in the U.S., Rubin would soon realize an opportunity in the making.
Pause on Jersey Production. Pivot to Masks & Gowns.
Like other countless numbers of manufacturing facilities forced to the sidelines due to restrictions imposed by social distancing, health concerns, governmental restrictions, supply chain limitations, depressed demand and more, Fanatics’ manufacturing operations were halted. Bottom line, no baseball season meant no production. From there, it did not take long for Rubin to realize that a million yards of fabric intended to manufacture baseball uniforms were lying dormant at the company’s manufacturing facility in Easton, PA.
One Million Masks and Gowns, Coming Right Up.
Said Rubin in a telephone interview, ““When the country is in need the way it is, it’s our privilege and opportunity to try to chip in in a small way. If we can save even one life, that’s better than making baseball uniforms and jerseys.” And so began the collaboration between Major League Baseball and its official jersey manufacturer, Fanatics, to address the shortage of protective masks and gowns for hospital workers. There are now about 100 employees working “extra distanced and in a very clean and safe environment” to make one million masks and gowns to donate to hospitals in Pennsylvania, with the hopes of eventually extending this to New Jersey and New York.” Fanatics and MLB are taking on the cost of production.
We Salute the Leaders and Innovators Among Us
There is no shortage of lessons to be learned from sharp and committed business leaders like Michael Rubin, CEO of our retail gift card partner, Fanatics. With an unprecedented need for solutions dictated by our very survival, we’re convinced that goodness and innovation will emerge, mirroring the bold initiatives taken by Rubin and those on his team.
It will take a set of complex business, manufacturing and human mandates, simply stated below, to lead the way forward.
Adapt
Pivot
Transform
Persevere
Care.
There you have it — our Partner Spotlight: Fanatics Gift Cards
With each passing day, the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic wreaks more and more havoc on our society, putting lives at stake and our country at economic risk. But in the face of it all, we’re also seeing good, old fashioned American Spirit rise to battle the blaze. Every day at the stroke of 7pm, people are stepping away from their living rooms and into the streets. Their cheers and thanks are directed at the healthcare workers who put their own lives in harm’s way caring for the sick and suffering, In our own response to the nation’s call for help, the eGifter team quickly conceptualized, developed and launched a solution that is having a dramatic, healing effect: OperationMainStreet.com. As a national initiative with local roots, Operation Main Street is an emergent technology solution offering real help to real people. Through the combined power of both search engine and gift card technologies, the Operation Main Street platform adds an economic spending boost to local communities and neighborhoods across the United States. Operation Main Street is a uniquely designed local business directory where search requests automagically return a list of stores in selected zip codes that serve *you* and *your* community. Read on to learn how it works and to see how good neighbors like you can literally save livelihoods in your own backyard. And, in turn, through spending boons through gift card sales, local businesses and organizations can stay in business to serve the community that loves them.
OperationMainStreet.com: A Free Searchable Local Business Directory Making Gift Cards Accessible
As a tech company literally located on Main Street (Huntington, NY), we feel the pain experienced by small businesses everywhere. Making sure neighborhood businesses can be easily found by local residents who want to save their favorite shops and restaurants is the promise delivered by the powerhouse business directory at OperationMainStreet.com. Together, we’ll endeavor toward the better days that lie ahead.
Neighbors: Save Your Favorite Local Restaurants and Shops
At this precarious time in our nation’s history, we’ve all reached the same conclusion: We must do our collective part to help small business owners in our towns and villages stay solvent, pay their rent and taxes, and employ salaried workers. Helping small businesses stay afloat and feed their own families is the task at hand, which will in turn empower them to pay the local taxes on which our towns depend. Keeping businesses going is a moral and financial imperative. It’s the only way that we, the people, will maintain access to food, essentials and services upon which we depend to keep our homes and families safe, well and active. Search local stores in the directory.
Challenging and unprecedented times like these call for innovation. To that end, we created three specialty eGifter Choice Cards. Therefore, our shopping and gifting community can enjoy a wide selection of gift cards within the category they prefer. Our goal is to help make time at home more comfortable during the COVID-19 pandemic. So, we streamlined the process of choosing and sending gift cards.

We’re all coping with the restrictions and affects of the Corona Virus. Challenging, indeed. At a time like this, life is anything but normal. The tried and true solutions we enjoyed in the past offer a new perspective. For decades, Americans have relied on takeout dinners, food delivery and door to door grocery services. It’s no surprise that today, gift cards for those services are dramatically on the rise as people heed health and safety cautions. We have quickly diverted to protective measures like social distancing, home working and home schooling. We’re getting better at staying connected to friends and family through technology. Our cooking and meal preparation habits have changed. That’s why DoorDash gift cards have become so popular.
DoorDash Gift Cards
The spike in Doordash gift cards purchased at eGifter.com is a clear illustration of the new normal – delivery services are going to grow. Gift cards do not require any physical touch that could put a gift giver or recipient in harm’s way, as they can be sent from the comfort of home or while on the go — and received the same way — by mobile phone, desktop or paper. We at eGifter are fortunate to be in a business that can contribute to people across the country, helping them safely shop for food, meals and groceries for themselves and their loved ones, 24 x 7.
A Logical Spike in DoorDash Purchases
We are seeing multitudes of companies purchasing DoorDash gift cards for workers and their families
Family members located too far away to help are texting DoorDash gift cards to loved ones to make sure that a healthy, hot meal is on the table
Local citizens are gathering donations to purchase DoorDash egiftcards to feed first responders too busy to prepare a meal during their mega long shifts – delivery service at its best
Other Gift Card Trends
Meal Delivery Services Like DoorDashstaffing up with new drivers, establishing new best practices for food delivery to reduce in person contact, and announcing commission relief and marketing support for new and existing DoorDash partner restaurants
Tenants in apartment buildings circulating checklists under doors and collecting them daily so that healthy, capable tenants can field their requests and provide the needed help
Local business leaders stepping up, like our very own Theresa Sullivan, who has been gathering donations to purchase meals for healthcare workers at Huntington Hospital. The Huntington Hospital Meals Facebook Group is a model of citizens coming together to help one another. Not just that, they are keeping local restaurants going through their delivery service. Our local economy is getting a boost because of the work that Theresa is doing, with the help of the generous local community here in Suffolk County, Long Island.
Here’s a warm shout out to the finest, bravest, strongest and all the superheroes stepping forward to help others in cities and suburbs around the nation. If you’re among the majority that’s staying home, you’re a superhero too! Thanks for keeping yourself and others safe. Who are you staying home for? imstayinghomefor.
We find ourselves in an unprecedented situation. No doubt, we will rise to the occasion. Together.
As the COVID-19 virus pandemic makes its way through our world both literally and figuratively, the eGifter team is hard at work finding ways to be of service. Please check back regularly for news and updates as we find and share ways to help people stick together through thick and thin. While some may argue that gift cards can’t save the world, we believe they can play an important role in our connected lives physically, socially and emotionally.
