How to Regift a Gift Card Without Feeling Awkward


Gift cards are great gifts, but there may be times when you get one for a store you do not shop at often or you already have a card for that store. Instead of letting it go unused, you can always regift the card to someone who will use it. As long as you handle it in a considerate and sincere manner, it is really about passing on the gift card. Here’s how you can regift a gift card without the pressure of being ungrateful or weird.


1. Verify That The Gift Card Has Not Been Used And Is Still Good


Before regifting it, you want to make sure that the gift card has a full balance available and has not already expired. This can be easily verified on the retailer’s website or through their customer service department. You want to make sure that it is in pristine condition too. Make sure that there are not marked signs of wear, that the print is not faded, and that proper packaging is intact. Fresh, and clean cards make the difference, and are far more considerate.


2. Make Sure The Gift Card Matches The Recipients Interests


The best regifting happens when it is customizable. Think deeply about what the person you are gifting the gift card to may or may not like. Fashion, food, beauty, and entertainment are all potential areas of consideration. For example, if you know someone who is interested in skincare or cosmetics, and you happen to know where you can buy a Sephora gift card, that is the way to go. To share the regift you have in mind adds an extra gift of thoughtfulness as opposed to the idea of just not wanting the gift card.

3. Add a Personal Touch

Write a short note (or leave a brief, digital message!) explaining why you thought they would enjoy the card. Even small notes that say something like, “I know how much you like trying new beauty products and when I saw this, I thought of you!” are nice and genuine.

4. Don’t Regift to the Same Group

One of the largest mistakes of regifting is giving a gift back to the original person, or even someone who can mention it to the original gift giver. If you must give the gift card, make sure you give to a different circle (different friends, colleagues, or family).

5. Wrap it Thoughtfully (wrap it nicely!)

Even though the person wasn’t actually the gift recipient, have a little fun, take time to wrap the gift card nicely, or have it included in a greeting card. Taking the extra 5 minutes to make it somewhat presentable adds to making the effort feel genuine.

Conclusion

Regifting a gift card does not need to be uncomfortable, as long as you are doing it thoughtfully and considerately. If you can confirm the gift card is still valid, and it is a gift that relates to their interests, and you add a little personal touch, you have successfully turned a gift card that will be sitting in the drawer into a meaningful and appreciated gift!
