Hassle-free Christmas Shopping – 5 Great Gift Vouchers
Even if you love Christmas shopping (and we have to admit to not being the biggest fans of fighting through December crowds ourselves!) there are some people who seem to be impossible to buy for. We all have a friend, family member or partner who either has everything already, never wants anything in particular or has the rather annoying habit of answering a request for gift ideas with “Surprise me!”
Although people’s varying tastes, wants and needs make Christmas shopping quite tricky at times, there is nothing quite like the feeling you get when you see someone opening the perfect gift. The question is, how do you buy them exactly what they want without knowing what that actually is? The answer is simple: gift vouchers.
While we understand there is a school of thought which says that gift vouchers are impersonal when it comes to gift buying, the truth is that they enable the recipient to choose something they really want and save you from wasting money buying a present you’re unsure of just so you have something to hand over on Christmas morning.
There are thousands of gift vouchers available across numerous areas of interest (just look at the selection in your local supermarket next time you visit) but here are just five of our absolute favourites. If none of these are quite right for the person you have in mind, give us a call and we’ll be more than happy to provide more personalised options.
Although we are still in November, the last ordering date for Christmas gifts from Astley Clarke has already been and gone. This doesn’t mean you can’t treat that special someone to some beautiful jewellery, you can still order a gift voucher for that wow moment on Christmas Day. You get a stress-free shopping experience and they get to pick something perfect!
We all need a little pampering and relaxation in our lives and how better to achieve that than spending a day indulging yourself in a spa? A gift voucher for Sanctuary is bound to go down a treat, the only potential issue is the difficulty your loved one will have choosing what treatment or products to buy.
Spa treatments aren’t just for the ladies; we know plenty of men who would love a perfectly relaxing chill-out day too. The Refinery is back on our list this year as the premier venue for male grooming in London, offering a range of treatments from facials and shaves to massages and tanning.
Film, theatre, sport or music
The best option when it comes to entertainment-based gifts depends entirely on the tastes of the person you are buying for. You can’t go far wrong with a voucher for their favourite football team or one for a music venue or theatre where a favourite show or band are likely to appear. Some popular ideas we have used in the past include the BFI IMAX, Electric Cinema and the Barbican. As we mentioned earlier, we can help with choosing the perfect option; just get in touch.
TIME!
In today’s hectic world, the one thing we all wish for is more time. Time to spend with family and friends, time to enjoy life in London or just time to lounge at home and read a book. What about the person you know running their own business? Give them the time to focus on their clients while someone else takes care of the day to day admin tasks.
