Vouchers – ideas to give away
Vouchers are not necessarily frowned upon or unimaginative. On the contrary, they are particularly suitable if you are unsure what you should ultimately give as a gift. You also have to think carefully about a voucher. Because there are different types of vouchers that can make your loved ones happy.
And the advantage of giving a voucher as a gift: you save yourself the embarrassment of dedicating an “exchange gift” so that the person receiving the gift does not have to exchange it in the branch. We have collected voucher ideas for you and give tips on how best to wrap a voucher.
1) The goods voucher
With a goods voucher, the recipient can decide for himself what he buys for it. But for this, you should know where the gifted person likes to go shopping and where not. In addition, the voucher should be easy to redeem, which means your poor grandma shouldn’t have to travel a long way. So think early enough about which shops and goods a voucher is worthwhile. Consequently, your gift voucher will not become an emergency purchase. How about, for example, a voucher for the hardware store or one to order natural cosmetics online or design a photo calendar yourself.
2) Giving away good deeds vouchers
“Good deeds” vouchers should also be carefully considered. Because not every one of these well-intentioned vouchers has a positive effect or is also redeemed. It is therefore important that you give the recipient the feeling that they are welcome to redeem it. It is even better to note the exact number and dates on the voucher. So you can give away your services in the car wash, household chores, handyman work, or strenuous gardening as a voucher.
3) The event voucher as an exciting gift
Go to the cinema, bowling night, sightseeing flight, restaurant vouchers, football tickets, concert tickets, travel vouchers! With a so-called “event voucher” it is important not to give the recipient the feeling that “it’s for both of us”. The recipient should always have the opportunity to decide for themselves with whom they want to share the voucher. So if you give away two cinema tickets, you should not immediately include the option that one ticket is for the donor. So it can make sense to give one to your parents or grandparents. Also, note healthy gift ideas for Valentine’s Day.
4) Give a cash voucher
Well, it seems a bit unimaginative and is probably a less romantic gift idea. But while the other voucher options are tied to shops, goods, or events, the cash voucher can be used in many ways. So you don’t have to worry that the person receiving the gift won’t be able to use it. If you wrap the money in a pretty voucher, it’s a nice gift idea.
5) Make your own vouchers and give them away
You can also make a voucher yourself. In this way, you underline that your gift comes from the heart. In addition, a self-made voucher can be used as an event voucher, cash voucher, or good deeds voucher. It is also a great activity for children at any time of the year. So why not give a homemade gift at Christmas. In addition, note tips for individual gift ideas or beautiful birth announcements.
