Gift Voucher / Certificate Guide
by Becca

Gift vouchers don't impress

Gift vouchers and certificates are probably the least inspiring gift you could give - unless they are a gift experience that is. A gift experience is something altogether more commendable, because it shows you have bothered to think about what gift the recipient might enjoy. No, I mean those bland store vouchers. They are not going to impress anyone, least of all your girlfriend or wife. OK, so you could be over generous, but then it's obvious to us girls that you know you didn't try hard enough. Whether £5 or £500, gift vouchers leave recipients feeling empty.

Store gift vouchers are an uninspiring gift and are most likely to lead to disappointment.

If not gift vouchers, what else?

We've already suggested one alternative: a gift experience. Is there something she has always wanted to do? You could make it a reality for her through an organised gift experience. What a gift that would be! Travel is another alternative if you are struggling to find a physical gift. Most girls love to be whisked away on a romantic break - yours is probably no different. Visit our mini-breaks section for ideas!

A gift experience or mini-break are great alternatives to a physical gift.
If you haven't the time for a mini-break or budget for a gift experience, why not spend a little more time thinking about what gift she might want?! Are you sure you haven't missed any hints she may have dropped? If so, you're going to be in real trouble - especially if you present gift vouchers instead! Try our articles about choosing a present for her and finding a unique gift, for ideas / advice:
Once you have an idea, our Gift Guides can help you choose precisely the right present. They can help you with sizes and standards, the language, what's hot and what's not and tell you how to avoid common gift-buying mistakes. For a complete list, see left side bar menu.
We're adding more every month; meanwhile, here are a few more ideas for you to think about:

Beauty Gift

alternative to gift vouchers: beauty gift

Every girl - from 14 to 54 - likes to pamper herself, so a beauty present is a safe bet. That said, it's not the most original choice, so you're going to need to spend time finding an unusual gift or be totally extravagant to really impress. Forget perfume, what about a beauty treatment voucher or spa day? Visit our gift selection for a range of gift ideas.

A Mini-break

A definite possibility if buying for a girlfriend or wife. A mini-break can be a fantastic gift for you both to enjoy. Sprinkle on some added extra touches, such as a champagne reception or a special location, and she'll adore you forever. See our ideas!
