7 Reasons Why Gift Cards Are The Perfect Gift For Men & Women

Gift-giving and finding gifts for anglers can be tough. You want to find a present that shows how much you care, without breaking the bank. Let's be honest—we've all been there, frantically searching for a last-minute gift that meets all of those criteria. But have you ever considered giving a gift card? 

Why Should I Buy An Angling Direct Gift Card?

When searching for the best gift card for men, consider what his interests are and what he may want to spend money on. Is he an outdoorsman? Does he love fishing, hiking or camping? Then a gift card to Angling Direct may just be the perfect gift for them!

Whether it's fishing reel maintenance, learning a new knot or simply finding the right spot on the river, fishing can be a complex and ever-changing pursuit. That's why a gift card for a tackle shop or sporting goods store can be such an appreciated present for the angler in your life. A fishing gift card allows him to pick out whatever he needs to keep his hobby going strong. Plus, who knows—he might just buy you a comfy, baggy jumper for the winter!

If you're stuck on what to give your fishing-mad loved one as a birthday gift, Christmas gift or even for an anniversary, look no further than the gift card! Here are 7 reasons why gift cards make great gifts for your loved ones.

1. Gift Cards Can Be Personalised to Fit the Recipient's Taste. 

No matter what the occasion, you can find a gift card that suits your loved one's interests. Is your dad a fan of carp fishing? Give him a gift card to his fishing tackle shop! Does your partner love a bargain on winter clothing or sleeping bags? Get them a gift card they can spend online or in one of the Angling Direct stores! Just because it is a gift card does not mean it isn't a unique gift too that you have put plenty of thought into!

2. Gift Cards Eliminate the Guesswork. 

We've all been there—you spend hours (or even days) agonising over what unusual gift to get your loved one, only to have them end up returning it or not liking it as much as you'd hoped.

With a gift card, you can rest assured that they'll be getting something they really want. Then you do not have all this concern of returning a gift they don’t like or them pretending they love it to see they have popped in in the donation bag weeks after their birthday!

3. Gift Cards Are Practical

Let's face it, we can all use a little help when it comes to covering everyday expenses, even when it comes to our pastimes like fishing. Whether it's money towards more fishing bait, a replacement cooking stove or simply a better pair of waterproof socks, an Angling Direct gift card really helps anyone who is trying to save up or stay within a budget.

4. The Right Gift Card Shows That You Care

Despite the usual concern that a gift card is a thoughtless gift, we here, at Angling Direct strongly disagree! You have searched high and low for the perfect gift card for your loved one and considering they are an angler or someone that wants to start fishing is incredibly thoughtful!

A lot of thought and effort goes into choosing great gift cards. So if you give someone a gift card, know that you are showing them that you truly care about their happiness and love for fishing!

5. Gift Cards are Easy to Send (and Receive). 

Gift cards are super convenient—no wrapping required! If you're sending a physical gift card, Angling Direct will allow you to have it mail it directly to the recipient's home (or workplace). You could also pick up a gift card from one of our stores! Angling Direct also offer E-Cards which are emailed gift card codes with no physical gift card required saving even more hassle!

Are Gift Cards Environmentally Friendly?

E-gift cards can be sent via email or text message and typically arrive instantly (or within a few hours at most). So whether you're mailing it or sending it electronically, gifting a gift card is quick and easy!

We encourage the purchase of our Angling Direct e-cards as they are perfect for a last-minute Xmas panic and use no plastic or paper waste as it's all electronic!

6. Gift Cards are Flexible 

We are not just talking about the plastic material they are made from! Gift cards are flexible gifts, which means that your loved ones can use them when it's convenient for them. With a long time to use our gift cards, your loved one can really shop around, add items to the basket he is fond of and really think about what they want to spend their Angling Direct credit on!

This also means if your dad, brother, sister or whoever is busy with work and doesn't have time to go shopping, they can use their gift card when they finally have a chance to go to the store. Failing that they can use the gift card online from the comfort of their bed! 

No matter what your loved ones' schedules look like, they'll be able to use their gift card when it's convenient for them.

7. Gift Cards are Affordable 

With the cost of living crisis, we have to think of alternative gift ideas. Gift cards are an affordably priced present. With the Angling Direct gift card, you can choose the amount you want to give the recipient. You can select any value from £10 to £1000. 

If you cannot afford the usual set gift card costs set by other retailers (e.g. £20, £50  or £100 set price gift cards), be rest assured that you can opt for adding £15 on a card or £30 or whatever price you prefer!

This affordability of the Angling Direct gift card means you can give a great gift without spending a lot of money. If you're looking for an extra-special present, you can always opt for a higher price on the gift card. Either way, you'll be sure to find a gift card that fits your budget.
