Gift options for Office Colleagues in India

Working people spend over 60 hours a week at work, not counting overtime. Colleagues become friends and sometimes family extensions. If you are close to your colleague, or if you want to make a good impression, it’s perfectly appropriate to offer a gift on occasion. Don’t second guess and offer a gift that might not be well received. Go with the gift card option from Woohoo.in – you’ll only be paying for the card but your colleague picks out what he or she likes.

Department Store/Mall Cards

When you purchase a gift card that can be used to buy anything at a huge department stores like Lifestyle, Central or Shopper’s Stop, you’re throwing open a door to unlimited gift options. A mall gift card not only provides unlimited shopping options, but also offers an exclusive shopping experience. Many stores have excellent discounts and special offer packages for gift card holders, so that’s a plus. Also, at some stores it’s possible to recharge the gift card value and use it time and again.

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

Watches make an elegant gift. Consider this option for a senior colleague, perhaps your boss. 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.

If you owe your business colleague much of your success till now, it’s time to show your appreciation. A goodie bag is a great idea; you can fill it up with all the things he’ll love. However, how do you know he’s going to love what you choose? The best way to show your appreciation to someone whose work and dedication you appreciate would be through a gift card, because it also gives the recipient the freedom of choice.

Gifting an exotic diamond necklace to your lady!

Joshua Jackson, well-known movie and television actor (Fringe TV series) apparently bid for (and won!) a diamond necklace worth $45,000. Joshua bid for the necklace in a private auction held at the recent “Nights in Monaco” benefit dinner in Monte Carlo for his girlfriend, the beautiful Diane Kruger. Joshua then had the auctioneers ship the necklace to his lady love, who was abroad at that time. We’re sure that the necklace was insured, but even then, to ship something so valuable seems extremely risky.

Don’t bother to bid, insure or courier – just gift!

When it comes to diamond necklaces, unless you can throw lots of money like Joshua Jackson, you don’t need to bid at all. When you bid for a piece of jewelry, you’re paying for the piece’s provenance (previous history of ownership which lends to its antique value). The extra money that’s paid out doesn’t exactly increase the beauty of the necklace, though it does help appreciate its value over time. When it comes to your lady, treat her to a one-in-a-million uniquely designed diamond necklace from Asmi, Gili or D’dmas available at Woohoo.in.

Don’t bother to ship, be safe and wise!

With a gift card from Woohoo.in, all you’ll be doing is investing in a gift card that cannot be misused. Your lady will receive the card safely, even if she is in another state within India. With this card, she can visit several outlets of the store you’ve chosen, and take her time to select the necklace of her choice. It’s completely safe, 100% value for money, no outrageous bids and definitely no worry about loss during shipment.

How to show your appreciation through a ‘fan’ gift?

We are all fans of someone or the other. Some of us are fans of movie stars, while some of us worship political icons.

How do you adequately express your sense of gratitude for their kindnesses and favors towards you?

Check out celebrity fan gifts

Famous celebrities constantly receive gifts. Rupert Grint, the Harry Potter movie actor who played the character Ron, keeps getting pajamas from girls. Back home, Deepika Padukone, after her dance number in Dum Maro Dum received about nine skirts in various sizes from her admirers.

What can we learn from this?

Of course, sensible people who have jobs and families won’t be running around buying skirts for their celebs. Still, the very fact that these fans reach out and express their admiration is something from which we can learn.

Reach out to the object of your admiration
