Why Gift Cards are the gift of 2022
7th Dec 2022
The humble gift card. The gift voucher. The store credit. Call it what you will, it's a prettily packaged treat to your favourite place!
Since the pandemic, gift cards have a seen a rise across the board, with:
- More employees saying a gift card is a great reward from their company
- More gift cards redeemable at more than one place for sale
- More people buying gift cards from social media

According to Giftbit well over half of us prefer a gift card to cash as a gift - perhaps so we actually treat ourselves rather than feel like putting the money towards day-to-day purchases?
Not only that, nearly half of us prefer a gift card to a specific gift... after all, if you're going to go out and spend on someone, it may as well be something they'd appreciate, and a gift card to multiple retailers is more successful on that front.
Moreover, most people who receive a gift card spend it at somewhere they wouldn't try normally, so it's a win for retailers too!
Gift cards are set to become more and more popular according to Statista so why not gift one for your loved ones this year?
