60 Best Gift Cards To Buy Online in Australia 2023

June 2024 · 12 minute read

Christmas is only a week and a bit away away *cue ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ by Mariah Carey* – Monday, December 25 for those that might’ve forgotten.

And if you’ve left gift shopping to the last minute, the best thing you could give them is the gift of choice with a gift card or voucher.

While it’s not polite to admit it, one of the best presents you can ever get is cold hard cash to spend on whatever you want, and gift cards and vouchers are basically that.

They’re such a foolproof present to give and receive and rather than torturing yourself trying to guess what your loved one wants, a generous voucher to spend at their favourite retailer or brand means they can select something they’re guaranteed to love.

There are so many brands and retailers offering online gift cards that you won’t have trouble finding something that they’ll actually want. Plus, you don’t need to worry about delivery times because e-gift cards can be sent directly to their email.

We’ve rounded up a selection of 60 gift cards from the best online brands and stores. You can browse the full list for inspiration or simply shop by category.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GIFT CARDS?

While there’s nothing better than watching a loved one unwrapping a present you’ve personally selected and seeing their eyes light up, there’s a lot of margin for error. Gift cards and vouchers eliminate the chance your giftee could dislike, or want to return or exchange, their gift. You can still add a personal element to the present by purchasing them a gift card from a retailer or brand you know they love. Better still, you don’t even have to leave your house to make the purchase – you can order in an instant online from the comfort of your couch.

HOW LONG DO GIFT CARDS LAST IN AUSTRALIA?

Thanks to consumer laws that came into place in November 2019, gift cards sold in Australia from this point onwards are valid for a minimum three year expiry period. All gift cards must display the expiry dates.
