Have you ever given a gift, only to find out that the recipient did not really care for it or needed to take it back? I have, and it's no fun for them or you. I love giving gifts and seeing the happiness they bring to the ones I love, but when it comes to those few family and friends that I have no idea what to buy...I begin to feel a little stressed, especially thinking they may not like it or might have to take it back. Thankfully, I know I can always turn to gift cards...a solution that makes sure the recipient will be able to purchase something they can actually use.
Providing access to hundreds of retailers' instant, emailable gift cards all in one place, GiftZip has made gift giving a lot easier and more eco-friendly! Now, it's no longer necessary to browse each individual store I'd like to purchase a gift card from when I can simply find them all in one convenient location. Talk about good news for a busy mom trying to finish up last minute Christmas shopping!
Since being introduced to GiftZip.com a few months ago, I have visited their site several times and am continually impressed with their large selection of retailers. You won't find a bunch of companies you've never heard of before either. They offer access to well-known names like Sears, The Home Depot, Sephora, Target and many, many more! To view a full list, visit here....you'll be amazed!
With sites that sell more specific products like Barnes & Noble and Foot Locker, as well as those that have a wide variety to choose from like Amazon.com and Kohls, you're sure to find the perfect gift for any occasion..birthdays, weddings, Christmas, etc. They're truly a one stop shop for all your gift card needs. And best of all, no need for plastic cards that only get thrown away. Manufacturing plastic gift cards actually wastes valuable resources and causes destructive gases to be emitted, so these eco-friendly eGift Cards are great alternative!
When I first learned about GiftZip, I have to admit that it almost sounded too good to be true. Was there some catch or hidden fees? The answer is no! It's not only free to use (which is hard to find these days), but no data is collected and you are not required to register at all. GiftZip.com makes their money by charging the retailers for referring highly valued shoppers like yourselves. They're main priority is about helping you buy an eGift Card in the fastest and easiest way possible, while sending serious buyers to the retailers websites. It's win-win for everyone!
So, there's an array of reputable companies to choose from and there's no catch, but how easy is it to actually use their site? The answer is...VERY easy! In fact, it just takes a few simple steps...
- Use the various categories listed at the top (Her, Him, House, Apparel, Family, Entertainment, etc.) and quickly find a list of retailers that suits the recipient you're shopping for.
- Click on a logo that interests you, and a box will appear providing a brief description of the products offered, as well as information regarding denominations available and locations where the eGift Card is redeemable.
- Once you've decided, click 'GiftZip it!' and you will be directed right to the retailer's safe, secure eGift card page. No more having to hassle searching through website after website looking for their Gift Card information. Gift cards will then be sent by e-mail and arrive in your recipient's inbox, or yours so you can print it off and give it to the recipient yourself.
Win It: Thanks to GiftZip, one very lucky reader is going to win a $50 Amazon Gift Card!
