The last two times, I’ve included a short url that redirects to a notion page personalized for the person. As in it includes the nickname or something. The page includes instructions on how to add the gift card to the store’s app and/or site (with an account). All relevant links included to make it as easy as possible.
I also looked up apps that can be gift card aggregators and will include that next time too.

I did a similar thing when I gifted Alexa Echo Show devices (the ones with a screen). These instructions included how to use a separate Amazon account so the device won’t get your contacts etc, if the person wants that privacy. Along with two 3 minute videos setting up the device and going over a few basic aspects of it. This would be a ton of work for one gift. I have now done this gift 5x and primarily to average technical people.
Basically what I’m saying is. Gift giving is hard. It makes me super anxious and stressed. I think I’ve found my own niche/trick of including personalized instructions and information. I’ve never tried this on an equally techy person though!
- bze12 5y agoHey, I started an app that’s centered around birthday gifts (https://hbd.cool https://hbd.cool). You can send gift cards and digital greetings kind of like you describe, it’s a fun way to personalize what’s usually a boring gift (as other commenters have mentioned). Would love to get your feedback on it!
