Prithvi’s humor is infectious and it was an entertaining programme indeed!

Funny Moments From The Show

Kya Hua Tera Waada: Prithvi played Kya Hua Tera Waada because Pratap said he used to hum this song while growing up. Immediately, Prithvi started pulling Pratap’s leg, wanting to know who he was thinking of while humming it. Pratap was quick with the comeback; he said that he’s thinking of all the people who’ve not signed up on Woohoo.in yet! Does your friend also love nostalgic music? Go ahead and gift him or her a Woohoo gift card from Landmark, Planet M, or Flipkart.

Cocktail And How Safe Is Saif!! Prithvi asked if Pratap has seen the movie ‘Cocktail’, and Pratap said there’s no way he’s going to miss watching those two ravishing ladies in the movie. Prithvi snickered and said it’s lucky that Saif Ali Khan is in the movie to save those two ladies from Pratap, which made both guys wonder: exactly how SAFE is SAIF for those ladies? Hey by the way, want to gift someone the Cocktail movie? Grab a PVR Cinemas gift card from Woohoo.in. It’s a great way to enjoy the entire PVR experience!

A Spelling Challenge: Towards the end of the program, Pratap challenged Prithvi to correctly spell Woohoo’s parent company’s name, QwikCilver. The prize? A gift card worth Rs. 5000!! Gosh, Prithvi’s brain started working overtime. Though he came up with various combinations, Prithvi still got the spelling wrong. Got a friend who loves mind-challenges? How about buying him or her a Woohoo.in gift card from Flipkart, Landmark or Oxford Book Store?

Working people spend over 60 hours a week at work, not counting overtime. Colleagues become friends and sometimes family extensions.

Books, Music and Assorted items

Books and music still make ideal gifts; the only thing being that with a gift card, your colleague will be able to choose the books and music they want. Consider a gift card from Landmark, Flipkart or Planet M. Your gift recipient does not have to redeem the card’s value in one trip. He or she can make several trips and enjoy the merchandise. That’s part of the gift card appeal.

Movies

A gift card for a movie is a great gift as well. A gift card from PVRCinemas offers the flexibility of date and time, so your colleague can use it anytime within its validity. Consider buying a generous gift card, to allow your colleague to take a partner along. This is a good gift option for a colleague at your peer level.

Watches

A gift card from Watches & More, Titan or Helios will open up endless options in classy timepieces, just right for the corporate manager. You’ll make a great impression, something that will be remembered. Consider this gift option as a thank you gesture to a senior mentor to whom you owe gratitude.

A nice meal

You could pay for a meal at a restaurant to celebrate your colleague’s birthday, but that doesn’t seem like much of a gift. However, when you hand over a gift card from Woohoo.in for a classy dining experience at a top restaurant such as Mainland China, Madhuloka, Sigree Restaurant, Kyra Restaurant or Oh! Calcutta Restaurant, it’s a special gift. That’s because your card is an opportunity for your colleague to celebrate at a classy restaurant with a loved one. That makes it special.

Gifting a Relaxing Spa Experience!!

Women love spas! That’s just a given, and there are no two ways about it. Women love the attention, the pampering and the sheer luxury that a great spa offers. That’s why a spa experience is one of the best gifts a woman can receive. Spa treatments take away a woman’s stress, and replace it with relaxation and a renewed joy for life. So when you gift your mother, wife or girlfriend a spa experience, you’re actually telling them that you care for their physical and emotional well being.

The Beauty of using a Gift Card to gift a Spa Experience

When you buy an YLG gift card for a spa experience, you’re opening up the door to a lifetime of pampering. You can also recharge your recipient’s gift cards for future use through GiftBig.com. That makes these gift cards work like debit cards, which can be used to purchase spa services and products. YLG presently has stores in Bangalore & Pune. With the GiftBig.com Gift Card, your gift recipient can choose the best venue, the date, the time and the occasion for a great spa experience.

What makes a Spa Experience a must in every woman’s life

All brides love to go to a spa before they get married. They undergo skin exfoliation treatments for that special bridal glow, and hair and nail treatments for extra shine. They undergo massages for relaxing themselves and for toning up their skin and muscles. Modern brides are starting to see the spa experience as a required part of their bridal experience.

It’s not just for brides – a spa experience is something that any stressed out woman needs. Think of the high-flying, jet-setting corporate achiever who’s got one foot on the ground and the other on a plane. Think of your mother, with all her backbreaking duties at home and outside. Think of the hardworking mom of young children who seldom gets a break. All these are women in your life, either family or friends, who needs to be pampered once a while.

A Spa gift experience makes a woman feel special

Sometimes a woman doesn’t need a special occasion at all to spend a day at the spa. Still, it is wonderful to have a gift voucher from someone who cares, and plan for a lovely day of relaxation. That’s what makes it special. A day at the spa, paid for by someone she loves, makes a woman feel well-cared for, loved and appreciated. You cannot achieve the same effect if you were to gift a dress or jewelry, though those gifts are also greatly appreciated. A spa gift experience is a great way to say thanks to your mom for all her hard work and to show your appreciation to the sacrifices she made for you. It’s also a perfect gift to your wife, to show that you genuinely care for her well being.

Gifting garments through Gift Cards in India

Know someone who could use a wardrobe makeover? Of course, it won’t be appropriate to consider a wardrobe makeover for your boss at work, but think of your spouse, children and close loved ones. How would you go about gifting new clothes to your loved ones? Would you take them shopping along with you and wait for hours while they decide? Or would you just pick up the garments of your choice, never mind what they prefer? Actually there’s a third option which will suit both the giver and the receiver.

Consider the Ease and the Benefits

Let’s say it’s your wife’s birthday, and she likes exclusive designer sarees. A gift card from Satya Paul available at GiftBig.com is just the ticket. All you do is purchase the gift card online. It’ll be delivered to your wife. Your wife visits the nearest Satya Paul outlet, and selects her purchase. She then presents the gift card to be swiped at the counter. There’s a unique magnetic strip and barcode at the back of the card, which keeps track of the card’s value. Your wife can opt to increase the value of the card and take advantage of special offers at Satya Paul. Instead of gifting her a single saree, you open the doors for a great experience, and a long term relationship with a top designer brand. That’s the power of a gift card.

Consider the Fashion Quotient and other benefits

Do you have a teenage daughter whose taste in clothing is just beyond your comprehension? How about getting her a gift card from Accessorize, the cool haunt for young and young-at-heart fashionistas? Also, GiftBig.com has gift card options from top fashion brands and stores like Westside, Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, Central, Allen Solly etc. Plus these gift card options can be tied up with loyalty programs, special offers and lifetime memberships. In a single stroke, you can enhance your daughter’s fashion quotient, and save money in the long run through in-store benefits.

Consider the Long Term Validity and Store Options

Many top brands have more than one store in a particular city. If your gift recipient couldn’t find that perfect white blouse at one store, she can look for it in other stores of the same brand. There’s no urgency when it comes to redeeming the card’s value. Many cards are valid for 6 months and above. That gives your gift recipient a chance to explore all the options and choose their garments wisely.

Consider the Cool factor!

Your kids will be thrilled to have their own ‘debit cards’. That’s how some gift cards work – like debit cards that are swiped to pay for something. More funds can be added, making the card and its usage a longterm, ongoing pleasure.

Gift Cards make the perfect Housewarming Gifts!

Are you attending someone’s housewarming function? What a great opportunity to gift something nice and useful to the new home owners! But what do you gift? Do you know what they’d like, or what they already have? It’s hard to second guess people’s wishes. Most people are too polite to let others know that they didn’t like their gifts. It’s best to err on the safe side and make use of the wonderful option of gift cards from Woohoo.in. Here’s how you can delight your friends with the perfect gift card options for a housewarming function.

Don’t second guess, just open the door to multiple options

You can’t tell if the new home owners want kitchen implements, or furnishings or trendy artifacts. Why not just gift them a card from Home Stop or @Home that has all of these products? These two stores have everything a homemaker desires to make her home perfect. You cannot beat these brands for the most amazing furniture, furnishings, electronic equipments and fancy and trendy items in town. Perhaps you’ve noticed that your friends need new utensils and cutlery? Or they might need the latest in non-stick cookware, frying pans or stoves. A Home Stop or @Home Gift Card from Woohoo.in can open the door to an unbeatable vista of options!

Think in terms of an all-home solution

If you know the house owners intimately, and have some idea about their tastes and what they’re looking for, consider other options. A gift voucher from Home Stop, TTK Prestige, Croma or @Home can make somebody’s idea of a dream home come true. Your friends will be thrilled to get a gift card from these outlets, especially when they’re doing up a brand new home!

Your Gift Cards represent more than just gift options

A gift card from top home brands in the market opens the door to home décor education. The great thing about these malls and brands is that they have sample kitchens, living areas and bedrooms, all furnished and set up. Homemakers can draw a great deal of inspiration from how everything is laid out, what colors work with each other and how to get the right effect. It’s an unbeatable educational experience.

When you consider that your friends can not only check out the sample rooms, but purchase the actual products right there, you’ll realize what your gift card represents. For your friends, this could be the first shopping visit of many to come, as they decorate the house with the latest in home furnishings and equipments.
