Best e-gift cards for Christmas

We picked ten gift cards across the following categories; shopping, food, experiences, relaxation, gaming, and something for the quiet days between Christmas and New Year. If none of them feels quite right, our page with all Christmas e-gift cards has plenty more.

1. Merry Christmas Choice Gift Card

The Merry Christmas Choice Gift Card works in the same way as the All-in-1 Choice Gift Card, but has a Christmas theme. The holder of this gift card can redeem it against a wide range of gift cards across every category. It offers flexibility and removes the guesswork that comes with buying a specific Christmas present. It’s the safest choice on this list when you’re buying for someone who you don’t know particularly well.

2. Amazon Gift Card

For the person who is comfortable shopping online, an Amazon Gift Card is an easy win. It covers almost anything, from new kitchen gadgets, to niche products, or the latest release in a series of books.

3. Uber Eats Gift Card

By Boxing Day, most people want to take a break from the kitchen. An Uber Eats Gift Card means a decent takeaway on the sofa and a break from washing pots and pans. It's a thoughtful gift for a friend who hosted the big dinner, or for new parents who will not have time to think about food for a while.

4. Red Letter Days Gift Card

The Red Letter Days Gift Card gives your recipient something to look forward to. It can be used to book a range of different experiences, at a time that suits them. There’s plenty to choose from, including fine dining and wine tasting experiences, to adrenaline-filled activities, and days out for the whole family.

5. Treatwell Gift Card

December is busy, and by the end of it most people could do with a few hours to themselves. A Treatwell Gift Card lets them book a haircut, a massage, or a beauty treatment at a location near them. It is ideal for a female relative, friend, or mum who always puts everyone else first.

6. Selfridges Gift Card

A Selfridges Gift Card is a real treat for someone who likes shopping for premium items and appreciates luxury customer service. At Selfridges, premium fashion, beauty products, food, and homeware all sit under one roof, allowing your recipient to shop for everything in a luxurious setting. This is a premium gift card that doesn’t force you into guessing what your recipient might like or break your budget.

7. PlayStation Gift Card

Gamers tend to know exactly which game they want, and chances are someone else will be buying that for them. A PlayStation Gift Card lets them spend on what they actually need, from games, exclusive downloadable content, and online multiplayer subscriptions. It’s a great gift for the lazy days over the Christmas holidays, when most people are spending time indoors because of the wet weather.

8. National Book Tokens Gift Card

The dark days between Christmas and New Year are a great time to get someone back into reading books. A National Book Tokens Gift Card is a convenient way to find books at their own pace, and can be used to shop at a large number of well-known and independent bookshops.

9. Theatre Tokens Gift Card

For someone who loves shows or musicals, the Theatre Tokens Gift Card is a great way to let them book a night out. You choose the value, and they get to choose the production, the venue, and the date. It gives your recipient a special night out to dress up for, and works especially well for couples.

10. Days Out! Gift Card

When the Christmas holidays start to drag and the children are beginning to climb up the walls, a day out can be a good move for everyone. The Days Out! Gift Card is our own gift card for booking a day out. It makes for a good family gift, since everyone can get outside and enjoy some quality time outside of the house.

You can also buy business e-gift cards for Christmas at Giftcard.co.uk. They can be given as end of year gestures to employees, or as Christmas gifts to suppliers and clients. For a small order that you don’t want to customise, you simply shop and order gift cards as normal. But for larger orders that you’d like to customise, our account managers can explain the various options and help you get your order ready in time for Christmas.

Business gift cards can carry your company logo or a custom design that clearly shows they come from your company. They are available in either digital or physical formats. Because digital e-gift cards are sent by email, they reach people wherever they are in the last week before the break. For more information, check out our page that explains everything you need to know about Christmas gift cards for employees.

However late your shopping is running this year, a good Christmas gift is only a few minutes away.
