Gifting cash? How to gift Rs. 501 or Rs. 1001 in these cash-crunch times.

It is not every day that you feel miserable with a wad of notes in your hand. There is nothing which keeps you ready for a situation where cash cannot be splashed. You could be planning for a wedding, you could be thinking of the perfect birthday gift for your loved one. Heck I was thinking of gifting my wife a dress! However, right now, the thought of gifting cash of Rs. 501 and Rs. 1001 for next event feels like a night mare.

However there was light at the end of the tunnel, or rather there was a melody which sounded like Woohoo!! I was bit sceptical of Woohoo at first. But once I started using it, the options were mind blowing. With a Woohoo gift card the recipient could choose anything – be it jewellery, clothes or if they preferred a nice dinner or the latest gadget, they could pick anything from the best of brands (online or in-store). The gift card opens up a world of endless opportunities and it does not run on cash.

gifting cash, woohoo

What are you waiting for? Do not be that person who waits hours to get the right gift (or in the current scenario – waits in queues for hours at the ATM for gifting cash) when you have the power to gift denominations of your choice in seconds. Experience the convenience of going digital and see the happiness in your loved ones’ eyes when you can give them the gift of “their” choice.

I Need to salute my History, Math, Marathi teacher for teaching me the subjects I detested and never liked. But most of all I need to thank my Mom who was also a PT teacher in the same school I studied in. A strict disciplinarian but a kind-hearted soul. She would feel deeply for the children and get involved with her students’ problems, solving them like a mother would do. I have learned a lot from her and cherish my best moments spent in school under her guidance. I salute her today on #Teachersday.

My Favourite Teacher is Mr. Deepak Dewan. He is the bestest teacher in the whole world – someone who churns out stones into rare gems. I remember the phobia of mathematics I had. But he was the one who made it so simple. The tips and tricks he gave were very useful. Till date if I get stuck somewhere it’s those tricks that I remember.
Not only that, it’s been 14 long years – a journey from my first public exam of class 10th till date, he is my mentor and someone whom I look upon for any advice. Just like my parents keep a track of me he has been doing that for years. He takes pride in my achievements, advises me at times of stress, encourages me to do better.

The role of a teacher is not stuck to simply teaching a subject , rather to mold his student to independently take assignments and wise decisions. Dewan Sir has been that guiding light whose blessings and sound advice has been an aura in the journey of life.

Why is Woohoo the One Stop Solution for all Your Gifting Problems?

How many times have you forcefully tried to smile whenever presented with the wrong gift? I bet we all know how that feels like. Often, we dismiss our displeasure and acknowledge the gift out of respect to the good intention and love behind the gesture, still, there would have been instances in our lives where we had complained in secret about the colour, texture or size of the gift. Most of those gifts are likely to end up as ‘white elephants’ gathering dust in some corner of the house. An ill-matched furniture or ill-fitting clothes will take the joy off gifting- from both the giver and receiver. How should we avoid embarrassing situations like that? The answer lies in gift cards!

When Is a Gift Card a Right Gift Solution?

Anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, house warming, festivals, you name it, gift cards are the best solutions during any such occasions. Nowadays with a gift card, one can buy a range of products like clothing, electronic goods, home appliances, mothercare and babycare among many others. One can even use gift cards to pay for services at spas and salons, hotels and restaurants or book flight and train tickets. Almost all leading brands and retailing franchisees have gifts cards issued to their customers.

Now that we have agreed on the convenience factor of gift cards, a problem still persists in finding the right ones. It’s equally cumbersome to go and check across websites of leading brands to find out who offers what kind of gift cards. To help you deal with such difficulties, woohoo.in has put all the cards under one roof. On Woohoo, one can find a variety of cards across different categories which can be redeemed at India’s leading brands. It is that one place which meets all your demands when it comes to choosing gift vouchers!

Can I Personalize a Gift Card?

An added attraction is the fact that you can personalise your gift cards with custom messages and designs to make your loved ones feel unique and special. Personalised cards can be also kept as souvenirs.

Apart from gift cards, woohoo.in also features gift vouchers which can be used at top restaurants, spas, salons and several other retail outlets. It also has a section on e-gift cards of leading brands. ‘Insta gifts’ is another amazing speciality of Woohoo, with which e-gift cards could be delivered instantly via SMS, Whatsapp or emails to anyone. Apart from all these, they even have gift cards to go with different festivals or varying occasions of personal interest.

Keep up the Tradition of Gifting with Gift Cards Online

Gifts cards are in vogue, and they are here to stay. With the advancement of technology, the idea of gifting smart has become the latest trend these days. Keep up with time by adapting with the changing fashion, but not losing the traditional appeal the same time. Visit woohoo.in and find gift cards for all the memorable occasions that deserve a great gift!

Gift you can never go wrong with. Have you gifted yet?

Gift, gifting, e gift voucher, Woohoo, gift cards, gift vouchers, e gift cards

Gifting – one of the most rewarding experiences when the gift-giver and the recipient’s choices are in sync. But how often does that “sync” really happen? We’ve all been through instances when we’ve spent countless days looking up the net or visiting every possible store just to find a gift that would suit the taste of the recipient, only to fail miserably or to realize it was something he already possessed. We’ve also been on the other side of the fence, when we received a gift we valued only because of the sentiments behind it, though it still lies around somewhere in the house gathering dust because it never really did serve its purpose, nor could you bring yourself to send it to the “recycle” pile.

Definitely not the situation we’d want to be in again? Here’s where Woohoo App comes in. With all its personalized gifting features and the power of choice and flexibility it offers, it sure is a gift you can never go wrong with!

What makes Woohoo the best gift?

Instant gifting

The whole process of gift selection, getting it packed, sending it via post and ensuring it reaches the recipient on time can be daunting. The Woohoo App simplifies this. Just a few clicks and the perfect gift is delivered instantly on your loved one’s mobile, via SMS, WhatsApp or email.

Personalization

The Woohoo app offers features that ensure your e gift voucher conveys the warmth and love behind your gesture of gifting. You could choose to send a selfie, an image from your gallery or one of the app templates, a voice note and a text message to your loved ones. All of this beautifully wrapped into a virtual package delivered instantly on their mobiles.

Freedom of choice to recipient

Don’t we all love and appreciate the feeling that comes with the words “go ahead and pick whatever you want. It’s on me!” The Woohoo app enables you to gift this very feeling. The recipient of your gift can purchase anything of his choice from a host of online stores like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Cleartrip, MakeMyTrip. He could also shop from brick-and-mortar stores of brands like Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, Marks & Spencer, Levi’s, Croma. It doesn’t end here. If your loved one decides to spend some time relaxing and de-stressing at a spa or salon, he could choose to use to redeem your e gift voucher at any of the top spas and salons, such as, the Four Fountains Spa or Lakme Salon. A foodie’s in for a treat at any of the restaurants like Copper Chimney, Noodle Bar, Rajdhani or Spaghetti Kitchen.

100+ brands

The brands mentioned above are just a few of the many that are available on the app. The Woohoo App empowers you to provide your loved ones with a wide range of choices from the 10000+ merchant stores of these brands across the country. With Woohoo App he can not only shop online, but also shop at physical stores at his own convenience.

Teachers are one of the greatest people you come across in your life. They are not only the selfless givers but also the mentors in your life. I would like to thank Arpeeta ma’m for creating an environment of enthusiasm for learning, appreciation for growing and room for making mistakes along the way. I am grateful to have her as my teacher. She has treated her job not like a profession but her passion. She has been a teacher who never showed me the way, instead taught me how to search for it myself. She has been not just a teacher but a parent to me. No amount of thanks will be enough for all that she has done for me. I found guidance, friendship, discipline and love, everything, in one person. Without her, I would have been lost. She has inspired me to do better in life and guided me throughout. Thanks for being a true mentor.

There are people who come into our lives and leave a burning sensation that lights up inside each of us. In my life there is a Ravi Lekhwani Sir, who I met twelve years ago. He has had the biggest impact in my life and has kept this feeling of hope inside me.

I am able to look into the mirror and, for one of the first times ever, be proud of the person that I am. You believed in me, and that’s all that I really needed. You took the time to care, and not only that, but you made sure that I knew you cared. That has made the difference.

I remember one incident. I went for an interview and because of low confidence I was not able to complete the task they had given me. I felt disheartened and felt like a loser. In place of going home, I went to my computer teacher at the institute. He ask me to do the same project which tha interviewer had given me and I failed. He tried to boost me and remarked that “being disheartened can’t make you a winner. If you want to be a winner, then keep rolling.” His words had done a motivational magic and pumped a lot of confidence in myself, resulting in me getting my dream job at the leading university as a computer lecturer.

We will probably never forget that person because we owe a little part of our identity, who we truly are, to them. Without them we might never have become the person we are today.

Diwali Gifting Guide: Celebrate the Festival of Lights

Diwali remains one of the most important festivals in the Hindu calendar and the festival is celebrated over a period of 5 days. From lighting lamps or diyas, bursting crackers and relishing sweet delights, praying to goddess Lakshmi and lord Ganesh, this auspicious festival keeps people on their toes throughout. During this festival of joy, people choose to gift their near and dear ones as well. It’s no surprise that year after year, you tend to fall short of ideas to buy gifts for Diwali. Sweets, jewellery, figurines are passé, that’s what you’ve been giving away as Diwali gifts all these years. Care to gift something different this Diwali?

Buy a Diwali Gift Card from Woohoo

Take a look at the gift card options at Woohoo. The perfect Diwali gift for your spouse, children, parents, in-laws or friends does not have to be hard to find.

I still remember my teacher always used to say that it doesn’t matter how much marks you get in your exams or whether you have topped in the class or not. The most important thing is how well you can implement your learnings into your life and make it better. She used to always say that all work and no play is not a balanced life. One has to go out and play with others, meet others to learn something more which no school or teacher can ever teach. Every day brings in some new learning for you which can be in any format and the day you are not learning even one new thing then it’s a waste of that day. I really respect her for her thoughts and it has actually made lot of change in my perspective of life…. 🙂

My teacher, Priyanka Jain, was my favourite teacher in school. She has always been my mentor and my inspiration. When I was in school, I would get nervous and stammer while talking. All my classmates would make fun at me. I would then feel bad and cry for hours. At times I did not even feel like going to school. But my teacher made life in school easier for me. She requested the students to help me rather than tease me when I stammer. She would reward star points for students who did good deeds. Thus, my classmates stopped making fun of me when I stammered. They would help me with my speech. My teacher too put in lots of effort. She mentored me constantly and made me feel positive and happy. Every day after school she would spend an hour teaching me and training me. She would fill me with her positive thoughts. Within few months I regained my self-confidence and I actually stopped stammering. She also taught us Math in school and at that time I actually had the least interest in that subject. She realized that from the very beginning and so she always got me involved in every mathematics activity or project in class. In her own way she would motivate me. She would explain the same problem to me over and over again, till I actually understood it. She was very patient with me. Initially when I would score less, she would not shout at me. In fact, she would motivate me to work hard. Thus, I got influenced by her & I put in all my effort to study. Very soon I began to understand math easily and I soon loved the subject too. I owe all my success to her because she taught me that perseverance is the key to success.

From her I learnt to try and try till I succeed. She helped me build up a base for my self-confidence. My teacher has been my true inspiration.

Save on Apparels, This Diwali

The festive season is here again and we’re all gearing up for it – filling shopping bags and emptying wallets. Getting the best deals and saving some money on such shopping sprees would definitely be something to cheer anyone up (no one minds saving some of that money!).

This Diwali, save your hard-earned moolah by shopping with discounted e-gift cards from brands like Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, Pantaloons, Arvind brands (Arrow, Gant, Nautica, Izod, U.S Polo Assn., Elle), Planet Fashion, Allen Solly, Van Heusen and many more, available on Woohoo.

These gift cards are listed directly by the sellers, but Woohoo’s robust system ensures the values and validity you see are guaranteed. The discounts offered varies from brand to brand and also on the individual sellers. But if you keep monitoring the offerings you can get lucky with good deals. You need to be quick because the best deals get sold out pretty soon. If you’re lucky, you can save about 20-30% on the actual value of the e-gift card. The delivery of the e-gift card is instant so you don’t have to wait for eons before heading out shopping with it.

So go ahead and pick those e-gift cards from Woohoo. Use them to make payment for your shopping, instead of paying by cash or your credit / debit card. There you go, saving some of that precious money! Happy shopping and saving!:)
