According to the company, “managers, HR (human resources) teams, and business leaders can securely send gift codes via email, and recipients can choose to redeem their gifts at their convenience. This removes the hassle of traditional gift-giving, while still allowing businesses to show their appreciation in a personalized and thoughtful way.”
Managers and leaders can choose from a range of gift code values, from $50 to $1,000. These codes are securely delivered instantly by email, making it easy to gift at any time, the company notes.
The gift shop offers a “curated selection of specially priced gifts and gift cards from top global brands with easy redemption. Recipients can store their gift codes in a digital wallet and use them when they’re ready to shop. If the value of their gift code doesn’t cover the entire cost of a desired item, they can top-up with a credit card to complete the purchase.” All gifts include taxes and include local delivery across the US and Canada.
The company says its customer service team is available around the clock to assist recipients with any questions or issues.
Once businesses sign up, they can purchase gift codes in values ranging from $50 to $1,000. Once the gift codes are purchased, they can be distributed directly to recipients via email. There’s no need to worry about physical shipping, gift wrapping, or managing inventory. The entire process is managed digitally. Click here to get started.
