Looking for the perfect gift for a friend or family member can be a bit of a nightmare. You may struggle to know what to get them but want to show them that you care. Gift cards are a great present especially if you know where someone likes to shop. If you are buying for a child then you may want to buy a gift voucher for one of the large toy retailers such as Smyths or The Entertainer.

Another great thing with gift cards are they can be sent very easily and cheaply through the post. You can often pop them inside the car and only pay your usually postage fee. If you are sending a card of high value then you may wish to send it via recorded delivery or if you need to guarantee it will get there the next day then special delivery option is the one for you.

We have all had that horrible moment when we realise that we have not sent a present to someone whose birthday is the following day and you have missed the last post. Well do not fear as many retailers are now allowing you to send gift cards via email again saving on postage and ensuring that the present arrives on time.
