Has Christmas shopping stress already started to weigh you down… don’t worry you’re not alone! Let’s be honest no one knows what on earth to buy teenagers, I mean they want a PS5 ("a what?" I hear you ask, the latest PlayStation video games console) but let's be honest… that’s not going to happen. And don’t even get me started on tweens who all think that an Apple watch or the latest iPhone is going to arrive… kid you are ELEVEN years old, I don't think so. And then there’s Uncle Barry, you can’t buy him socks with his dog face on them again. It just feels impossible to buy them a gift you know they’ll love but (but don't fear, we are here to help) we have gift giving sorted… you’ll be this year’s superhero level ready, you’re welcome!
Oh right, so what is this magic we speak of? It’s gift cards… not the cardboard ones that you get in a newsagency, we’re talking about the digital voucher-type ones. The eGift Cards that you can email out, so you don’t even have to bother with wrapping paper, which is also environmentally friendly!
Below we’ve picked out a few of our favourite digital gift cards or you can browse the whole range here:
Best gifts for Kids
No shock here, we can’t go past the Ultimate Kids Card, which can be used at EB Games, H&M, JB HI-FI, XBOX, Smiggle, Dymocks, Adidas, Toyworld, Strike, Zone Bowling, Kingpin, Holey Moley, iFly, Timezone, Build-a-bear, Zing, Cotton On Kids, THE ICONIC and Officeworks. Another very popular card is the rebel Gift Card so the kids can stock up on all their sports gear.
The perfect present for Tweens
We struggle to go past a Hoyts Gift Card. Movie, popcorn and a choc top on you, what twelve-year-old wouldn’t love that? The other card that is crazy popular with tweens is the Roblox Gift Card!
Gifts for hard to buy Teens
Again, our choice is a tad bit obvious, but with so many fabulous brands on it, is hard to go past! You guessed it, our pick is the Ultimate Teens Card. This card can be redeemed at Chatime, JB Hi-Fi, XBOX, THE ICONIC, Grill'd, Boost, City Beach, H&M, Zone Bowling, Rip Curl, Cotton On, Kingpin, Ben & Jerry's, Nike, Timezone, Officeworks, Just Cuts, JD Sports, Adidas, Subway, Zing & EB Games. Our Activ Visa Prepaid Card (that they can add to their phone wallet) is also super popular for this age group!
Presents for Young Adults
We have a couple of thoughts for this age group… one is practical, a Petrol Card which can be used at any EG Fuel petrol station and the other is a little… ok a lot more fun. The Adrenaline Gift Card can be used to buy the experience of a lifetime!
Gift ideas for New Parents
A Big W Gift Card is sure to be well received by Mum, Dad and Baby or you could celebrate with the family on 'babies first Christmas' with the Ultimate Card range, which can be used at COTTON ON Kids, Bonds, Best & Less plus heaps more.
Gifts for hard to buy adults
Dan Murphy’s is always well received or you could opt for a Myer Gift Card which can be used to buy anything from perfume to crystal wine glasses.
And…
If you still don’t know what present to buy them

The lucky recipient can choose to buy from any of these stores; Angus & Coote, Officeworks, Just Cuts, EB Games, THE ICONIC, Menulog, Chatime, JB HI-FI, Ozsale, T2, City Beach, Cosette, Forever New, Zing, Puma, Ben & Jerry's, Every Plate, Binge, Adrenaline, JD Sports, Weber Store, Modibodi, LSKD, Rip Curl, iFly, House, Luxury Escapes, Cotton On Kids, Nando's, Dusk, Cotton On Body, Kingpin, Lululemon, Adidas, Subway, asos, Lorna Jane, The Good Guys, Cotton On, Toyworld, Smiggle, Typo, General Pants Co, Ella Bache, MAC, Barbeques Galore, Hello Fresh, Prouds, Webjet, New Balance, My Muscle Chef, Kayo, Anaconda, Drummond Golf, Star Car Wash, Goldmark, Peter Alexander, Timezone, Factorie, Michael Hill, Supre, Zone Bowling, Rubi Shoes and H&M
P.S. When said teenager, on receiving their gift card says, ‘Sleigh!” they actually mean, “Slay” which we’re yet to entirely understand but rest assured it means you’re not a dodgy gift giver!
