Give A NEW Gift For This NEW Year

It’s a brand new year again and a fresh chance for all of us to make necessary changes in our lives. We all make resolutions that we plan to keep – getting fit and saving money. Speaking of saving money, do you know just how many people give away the gifts they receive, or hide them in their attics? Isn’t that a real waste of the money you spend on buying those gifts? How about gifting something different this year that will never be given away or put away in the attic?

Say Hello To Gift Cards And Gift Vouchers

Make this your New Year’s resolution for 2015 – to include gift cards and gift vouchers into your gifting strategy. Forget about spending hours at shopping malls and other stores looking for gifts. Just decide which brand your recipients will like and buy a gift card or gift voucher from that brand. With a single stroke, you can ensure that your money’s well spent, eliminate gift wastage and give your recipients the joy of shopping for their own gift!

Bring New Joy To Your Friends This New Year

Change your gifting style and adopt gift cards and see what a difference this makes to your friends. This will be the best New Year’s resolution ever. We’ve made the entire process really easy for you. All you do is log on to Woohoo.in and purchase a gift card from a brand you like. We’ll deliver it to your recipient on time. Your job is over – all you do now is to wait for that excited phone call or email from your recipient when your gift card arrives!

Gift Cards, E-gift Cards and Gift Vouchers

A gift card works just like a debit card; your gift funds are stored in its memory, and the card is swiped while billing for the items purchased. Your recipients can choose to spend your gift funds in a single shopping trip, or on multiple trips. Some brands even offer membership benefits to gift card holders, and even allow them to recharge their gift cards at the brand’s stores. Both gift cards and gift vouchers come with expiry dates, after which the any unused funds expire along with the card. E-gift cards are delivered to the recipient’s email account within minutes of purchase. So now you get your gift to the recipient on time and your recipient can redeem your gift on time for the occasion! What could be better than that?

5 Great Ideas for Christmas Gifts

So we’re back at the end of what seems like a brand new year that’s barely begun. No, dismiss that thought, folks. 2014 is well and truly over. Review your achievements over this year and make your resolutions for the next. Before you start thinking about your plans for 2015, let’s focus on the grand upcoming event, shall we? Which one is that? Christmas, of course! It’s Santa time again, and time to wrap and unwrap gifts. It’s time to bid a tinsel-bedecked, holly-wreathed goodbye to 2014.

What To Gift?

Making the right gift choice for loved ones can be a daunting task. Let us help you a little in this area. Consider each person’s tastes, likes, dislikes and fancies while buying gifts. You don’t want any disappointed faces around the Christmas tree this year, do you? We have a few gift ideas for you – check them out!

1. Handmade Gifts

If you’re good with your hands, you can consider making your own gifts as well. Handmade gifts say you truly care, and the time you invest on making them makes your handmade gifts truly special. Be sure to package them by hand too. Your friends will love them!

2. Gift Cards and Gift Vouchers

When you want to gift the best, but you’re not sure of your choice of item, a gift card is the best option. Make your gift card generous, and let your recipient enjoy multiple shopping trips to the brand store. You can purchase gift cards from great brands for everything from jewelry to fashion to electronics and much more. If you don’t want to stick to a specific product brand, opt for a department store gift card, such as Lifestyle or Shoppers Stop gift card.

3. Whole Family Gifts
Instead of gifting something that only individuals can enjoy, why not gift something that the whole family can enjoy? An exercise bike or treadmill would fit neatly into this category. As would a set of luxurious living room furniture, a beautiful picture or wall hanging and so on. How about an attractive area rug? The list is endless.

4. Customized Gifts

Buy a t-shirt and get it screen printed with an image and text of your choice that means something to your recipient. Another idea is to get a coffee mug designed with the recipient’s name and picture. What memorable gifts these will make!

5. Thoughtful Gifts

Take it a step further and consider the future needs of your recipient. Is your recipient expecting a baby? In that case, gifts for the baby will be greatly appreciated. Is your recipient planning to move into a new home? In that case, a thoughtful gift that can be used in the new home would be greatly appreciated. Apply a bit of thought and consideration before buying a gift, and you can be sure your Christmas gifts this year will be vastly appreciated.

How To Beat Last Minute Gifting Stress?

Yes, we know the score. We’ve been there. In fact, we’ve all been there. No matter how hard you try, it’s impossible to remember to wish your family and friends on every special occasion, in a timely manner. Sometimes we forget to buy gifts for our loved ones’ special days till it’s too late. Then we end up making an appearance without a gift in hand, offering apologies no one really wants to hear.

Corporate Gifting: On Time, On Budget Solutions with Gift Cards

Corporate gifting has truly come of age today. Many firms give thoughtful gifts to their valued employees. After all they constitute the internal customers of the company. It is a great way to show appreciation for their loyalty and hard work. Employees definitely feel recognized and needed by their employers. This practice is rapidly spreading across the corporate landscape.

Many employees would appreciate a small gesture of thank card to a larger prepaid gift card around Holidays and occasions. It makes them feel elated. As a HR you know that cash bonuses or raises are not feasible when an employee have put in a stellar performance. But gift vouchers fit any budget. HR who understands the tastes and interests of the employees can purchase an appropriate card as a token of appreciation from Woohoo.in.

Corporate Gift Cards: Small Gestures Go a Long Way

How do they make employees happy?

The small gestures such as a gift card on the birthdays or anniversaries do wonder to his pride. An employee feels touched and would want to improve his productivity on the work front. If the HR is not sure about the preferences of the employees she/he can send out emails of commendation to the employees and give them option to choose from several gift cards. This is the great way to reward them. Here the employees will enjoy choosing their own reward from the given list. At Woohoo.in, there is a plethora of gift cards ranging from apparel, jewelry, restaurants, food chains to home decor.

Not Just Special Occasions

What other occasions does a gift card serve?

It’s just not for festivals and anniversaries when the companies show token of appreciation. These days, after a long and stressful month, if a team has completed their task on time, the HR either hands out a group gift card for lunch or dinner at a fancy restaurant or individual gift cards. For such memorable events, it is always better to keep a stockpile of gift cards for dining or an outing with family. These small gestures that come in short burst are more powerful incentive for the employees than a bonus or a hike in salary at the end of a year.

Woohoo.in is the one stop shop and solution for all your gifting needs and ideas. It’s mission is simple – make gifting easy.
