Gift cards are the kind of gifts that could seem obvious or boring. However, they are an improvement over the tradition of cutting a cheque and placing it inside a card. But hear us out: they can be very helpful and even personal if you put some thought into them.

Think about what the person you're giving the gift to really needs right now. They just moved into a new house or apartment, right? Give them a gift card so they can buy things for the kitchen or home. Do they have a new job or an internship? Money for clothes that are good for work could go a long way. Have they been having a hard time, or could they use some help taking a break? You can get them a gift card to help them travel and buy them scented candles or snacks. To make it easier, we've put all of the best gift cards to give below, so you can go straight to the one you think the recipient will like best.

1.  Visa Gift Card

It's like putting money in an envelope without putting money in an envelope. When it comes to giving gifts, you can't go wrong with a Visa card, which can be used for anything. Rest assured that they will use your gift for the right thing, whatever that may be.

2. Stock Gift Card

Financial knowledge is now more accessible than ever. With a Stockpile gift card, you can help a friend or family member make an investment. This is a one of the best virtual gift ideas for people of all ages, even if they don't know much about stocks and investments.

3. Uncommon Goods Gift Card

A gift from Uncommon Goods is perfect for those with outstanding taste but could also be a little picky, as the name implies. Think of it as a department store with carefully chosen items for people who like things that make other people ask, "Hey, where did you get that?"

4.  Apple Gift Card

People who are really into technology will love getting an Apple gift card. It can be used to buy a laptop, desktop computer, or iPad. But the App Store, iTunes, and Apple TV+ are more common purchases.

5.  Cloud 9 Living Gift Card

This Holiday season, offer the receiver who has everything the gift of experience. You can choose from over 600 activities on Cloud 9, like skydiving, hot air ballooning, cooking classes, and much more. There is something for everyone, no matter what they like.

6.  Digital Gift Card

Consider The Sill to be your rescuer if you pick a plant mom for your secret Santa but have no idea what a green thumb is. Anyone who likes plants will be thrilled to get a gift card like this, which they can use to buy a new plant or things for the plants they already have.

7.  Uber e-Gift Card

It may not be exciting or glitzy, but the best presents are often the ones we would never buy for ourselves. You may present them with the gift of safe travels for their next night out or journey to the airport.

8. Starbucks Gift Card

Most people know a person who is desperate for coffee. Because of this, a Starbucks gift card is the best gift for them. And the best part about this card is how easy it is for the recipient to use it. Send the card by email, give it to them in person, or let them know about it through iMessage.

9. Spa Finder Gift Card

Give the gift of relaxation to someone you care about by giving them access to thousands of spas, wellness centers, fitness centers, salons, and more. They may use this card to spend the day receiving a massage, mani-pedi, facial, or the full nine. It also works for people who prefer yoga or pilates classes. Just opening the envelope will make them feel better.

10.  Disney+ 1-Year Subscription Gift Card

Disney+ has a lot of new and old favorites that are perfect for those cold winter nights. They will need a large bowl of popcorn and their coziest jammies.

11. Charity Choice Gift Cards

Pay it forward by donating via Charity Choice, which allows the cardholder to donate the amount to one of over 1,000 charitable organizations of their choice. This year, more people are struggling than ever, so the people who have it all may enjoy the opportunity to offer Holiday cheer.
