One of the most popular gifts that I think that is universal for anyone anywhere is the gift card. My family always asks before the holidays, especially for the kids, “what do you want this year?” We always have to tell them, “we will think about it.” So what many of them do is just get a gift card and tell us to just go and get what we want.
This is great for me and my kids. We can use it for whatever we need or want, and the kids can use it for their wants, while not having to worry about losing their cash or cashing a check. It is also great for those students off at college who need help from time to time and to just congratulate them for good grades!
Western Union has created the Western Union gift card and greeting card to make the gift of giving a gift card easier and more personal. Not only can they be purchased online at WUGift.com, but they can be loaded with any amount ranging from $5 to $100. Then they can be sent to the recipient making it easy since our family is all over the country. And to make it even more personalized, a personal message can be recorded to play when the card is activated over the phone.
And giftcards are not just for birthdays and holidays. They can be given for a variety of occasions like anniversaries, congratulations, thank-you’s and more. Thinking about it, this would be a great idea for that special one to get that pedicure or message! Wink wink, honey!
Western Union is currently running a promotion for 25% off the $5 fee which is valid through 9/1/12 when purchased at wugift.com. Enter the special promotion code “WUGIFTPROMO7” when buying your card for that discount.
