Spread the Joy, Not Plastic. Only with E-Gift Cards

Gifters love to gift; the more impressive the gift, the bigger the box and then the ribbons and the rest of it. There are so many gifting occasions in a year – a horde of festivals, and then Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Valentine Week – you name it. We feel obliged to honour each occasion with an appropriate gift, and the gift wrappings accumulate. Ever wondered what your gift recipients do with the wrapping, the boxes and the ribbons? They throw them away. Kilos of gift wrapping ends up in landfills around the world. Is there a way to prevent this? Yes, there is!

Gift Wrappings – And More Wrappings!

Let us change the way things have been done so far. In honour of Environment Day on June 5th, let’s make a pact to move on to e-gift cards. Let us forget about buying gifts from stores and getting them packaged elaborately. Let us rather turn to an environmentally-friendly, paperless method of gifting wonderful things to the people we love.

Here’s What’s Great About E-Gift Cards

E-gift cards are quick and easy. All you do is pick an e-gift card this moment, and take a few minutes to personalize it and hit Send. Within the next few seconds, your e-gift card is on its way to your recipient’s email. Job done. Job prettily done, because our e-gift cards come in beautiful templates that fit the gifting occasion perfectly. Lovely balloons pop in birthday cards and emotional messages shine through from our Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and Rakhi e-gift cards. You won’t miss anything- except perhaps that tearing sound of the package being unwrapped. Surely you can live without that? So are we in synch? Let’s make our beautiful planet happy by gifting!

Holi gifts that are off the beaten track

Holi, the festival of colours, is synonymous with festivity, merriment and bonding. Over the years, the traditional custom of people personally meeting to greet their family and friends may have transitioned to the current trend of large get-togethers organized in open spaces. But the basic essence of the festival – that of camaraderie and bonding – remains unchanged.

What Are You Planning to Gift this Holi?

If you’re planning to host or attend one such get-together this Holi, you might want to give traditional gifts a pass for a more unconventional and practical gifting option.

Boxes of sweets and the like are becoming a passé, with people becoming increasingly health and fitness conscious. But again, there are others who would find festivals to be incomplete without the sweet quotient. Taking a guess and estimating the number of boxes you’d need to get or thinking of the alternative gifting options for those who might want to do away with the boxes could be a pain. Why not let them have their pick?

How’s that possible? Here’s how:

With a Woohoo Gift card, you give the recipient the freedom to choose exactly what he wants. If dry fruits or a sweets hamper or namkeen is what he wants, he could use your gift card to order it online from Amazon.in. While those who would prefer non-food items could go with things like home décor items from Home Stop, @Home or Shoppers Stop. If apparel is a preference, he could choose to pick anything online from Myntra or at stores of brands like Lifestyle, Westside, Marks & Spencers, and a host of others. As for the little ones, they could take their pick from an array of options at Crossword, Fastrack, and more.

So stock up on your Woohoo Gift Cards today from Woohoo.in and enjoy a stress-free Holi.
