Gifts: What to give to a…selective person?
Nous avons tous parmi nos proches ou nos amis, une personne à qui nous ne savons quoi acheter pour gift of Christmas, tant ses goûts sont sélectifs. Que faire?
The magic solution
What a wonderful invention the gift card or gift certificate is! A simple solution par excellence, all you have to do is find out which store or boutique this person prefers above all others. Most stores offer this option of card or check that you can purchase, according to the budget you have set for this gift. You will then simply have to slip the card or check into a pretty little decorated box or an envelope painted with Christmas motifs.
Use of the card or gift certificate
Please note, however, that while the gift card or certificate, whether traditional or electronic, only allows the recipient to purchase the item of their choice, it cannot be exchanged for cash. Furthermore, the recipient must spend the amount in a single occasion, as the sum cannot be split into multiple purchases. Some stores specify a deadline for using the gift card or certificate. Therefore, check whether this is the case and note the expiration date, if applicable.
The advantages of the electronic version
More and more supermarkets, boutiques, and stores have websites where you can buy a gift certificate online. This will save you valuable time during the holiday season. The recipient will then receive an email informing them that you are offering them a gift, along with a personalized message (which you will have previously written on the store's website). It's good to know that gift cards and certificates come at no cost to the recipient. By visiting the store's website, the person can see the amount of the gift and print the certificate, which they will use to make their purchase (in person or online).
