Fun, Genius Inspo, Gift List Ideas
Nowadays gift cards are common. Here are some clever ideas to make them feel more uncommon, more special.
We have all given and received gift cards.
In the last few years, the popularity of giving vouchers or certificates as gifts has skyrocketed.
It's your chance to send a little love. You can find gift cards almost anywhere: fashion boutiques, restaurants and cafes, home-ware shops, and even hardware depots offer gift cards!
You can get them in-store or online.
Yes, even Laser Tag in a Box offers gift cards!
:-)
Whatever the occasion whether it be for Christmas, Birthday, Graduation, Bar Mitzvah, or whatever occasion.
A gift voucher lets your recipient decide from a list of options.
Options might include experiences, physical gifts, or even hampers.
Your gift card doesn't need to be boring.
Here are some great examples and ideas of how you can transform your run-of-the-mill everyday gift cards into a gift that can mean something special to the person you are gifting it to.
Gift certificates sometimes suffer from a bad reputation.
People might think they are “thoughtless” or that they’re impersonal.
But that doesn't have to be the case!
First up, ask: "Is A Gift Card the Right Gift for Someone Special?"
The key to giving a gift card is to consider the person you are giving it to and consider what they like or enjoy.
Consider which shops they like.
Does your person love video games and fun in the backyard?
Do they love a challenge and playing games with friends?
Gift cards are great if you've left presents until the last minute.
We all lead busy lives!
So a gift card can be ordered quickly, often at 11 pm.
Voila!
Present sorted.
In recent years the regulations around gift cards in Australia changed.
Except for a few limited-use gift cards and vouchers, gift cards sold in Australia will have a minimum 3-year expiry period, and the expiry date must be displayed on the card or voucher.
Depending on which way you look at it, you might consider a gift voucher a super special gift.
It's flexible!
It can be, almost, whatever the receiver wants it to be. It's kind of like getting cash but without the crassness.
Some businesses have their foundations in not only gifting vouchers at shops as a substitute for cash but also giving virtual gifts to people. Virtual gifts that can be an experience, like Red Letter Days in the UK (https://www.redletterdays.co.uk/) or Red Balloon in Australia ( https://www.redballoon.com.au/product/laser-skirmish-in-the-forest---for-2/BFS003-M.html )
- Gift Card Presentation Ideas
So say you've selected a fabulous Laser Tag in a Box gift card in a Box gift card, what's next?
How can you personalise this gift so it pops out of the box?
Here are some terrific examples.
Ok, this one is easy-peasy.
Grab a greeting card, and slide in your gift certificate.
Boom! You're done.
Perhaps the best-known greeting card company is Hallmark Cards Inc. Founded in 1910 they've been making all sorts of cards.
(They've since diversified also working in retail and television. Heck, they even own Crayola crayons!! But I digress... )
There is a huge variety of stationery shops that stock gift boxes.
More substantial than an envelope a box makes your gift literally feel bigger!
Now, this is an example of how you can put your personal touch onto the present.
There are lots of YouTube videos on how to craft a simple bag.
Imagine gifting a present in a Coles or Aldi shopping bag. The packaging drags down the entire experience.
Improve the perceived value of a gift card with unique packaging.
Or if crafting is not your thing, you can go on ESTY and there are so many bags to choose from.
TIP: A "Dice Bag" is a great size to house a gift card.
Ok, so this might seem counter-intuitive.
It doesn't have to be a question of either/or.
You might want to add a gift to your gift card!!
You might see that favourite book they've raved about. You might decide that, yes, they would lurve that new video game.
Or that other thing.
Whatever!!
So goes combo!
Get them both!
I hope these five examples have inspired you.
Gift cards will likely continue to rise in popularity.
They can be fun and flexible.
We've given you five examples of genius Gift Card ideas.
Can you think of a better all-around gift than a gift card?
GIVE THE GIFT OF ADVENTURE

So you are trying to come up with an idea you haven't done before for that person who seems to have everything?
We've all been there!
How about a gift that can create special memories?
A gift that won't just sit at the bottom of the "everything" drawer. Or worse, be re-gifted.
Instead of more ‘stuff’, give the gift of adventure.
Treat that special someone to an adventure this Christmas.
Better than socks & jocks, right?
We are parents just like you. Over the years we've received endless numbers of toys, toy duplicates, and clothes that don't fit our kiddos. Can you relate?
Kids love games. We believe children who have happy memories grow up to be happier adults. We created Laser Tag in a Box to help Mums and Dads, Aunties & Uncles create happy memories with those kiddos in their lives.
Purchase a voucher for your preferred amount and let them select which rental box to spend it on!
With our gift certificates, your lucky recipient will have up to 3 years to use them on a laser tag rental. (They will need to check on availability when booking.)

If your special someone is a Fortnite or video game fan-boy or fan-girl, they'll love a laser tag in the backyard.

Our gift certificates can be purchased online or over the phone.
