Discover Digital Gifting with Davern’s
As the Winter festivities fast approach, you may now be considering gift options for your loved ones. An often dreaded task many face is actually choosing the gift. While we know that no matter what the gift, the thought is far greater, wanting to really treat someone special at Christmas time requires planning and execution. Not to mention the fact that now more than ever we live greatly expanded lives, our social circles and ones we hold dear may not be close by, or even in the same country. While face to face contact may be forced to dilute, the desire to show our love is greater than ever. We’ve come a long way since the days of meeting a relative or friend and handing them a hand-wrapped gift - but the sentiment still remains. The introduction of digital gifting is a beautiful way to reach everyone you care about.
We have completely evolved to live online, with people now spending an average of 2.4 hours online a day. Much of this has been surged by the pandemic, when the online realm was often the only place we could connect with the ones we loved. With group-chats, thoughtful snaps and video calls, we have learned to show our love in virtual form - and perhaps may never look back. As this season is set alight with joy and excitement, we are also called to reflect. This year, more than any other, has tested our resilience, and taught us to truly appreciate the ones we love. The way we give has changed, which is why choosing a Davern’s digital gift card is the perfect way to show love, give back or maybe just to say “Thank You”.
Digital gifting is the latest tool in the timeless act of giving, with it now more popular than ever to virtually send your love. The Gift Card & Voucher Association (GCVA) and KPMG UK reported that in 2020 digital gift card sales shot up by almost 50% due to the COVID-19 lockdown. While it may be easily misconstrued that digital gifting is not as sentimental as physical gifting, it does allow for personalisation.
With a Davern’s digital gift card you have the freedom to personalise the message and design, making it unique to the receiver. Virtual gifting gives you the piece of mind that it will safely be received, without the need for someone to answer a doorbell, phone call, sign for a package or even return the item to a store. With the ability to schedule when they receive the gift card, you can plan ahead without the stress of buying presents last minute. Moreover, it is a sigh of relief to know that a digital gift cannot be lost at the bottom of a purse, or discarded accidentally.
For the receiver, it is a heartfelt sentiment sent straight to their mobile or desktop, giving them the freedom to use it however they choose. While more often than not, gifting money or cash seems the safest bet, it often lacks the true appreciation behind it. The ultimate goal is to give your loved one a gift that they not only love, but want. Gone are the days of choosing something just for the sake of it, or guessing if that size would fit, or that colour was nice. Give your loved one the freedom to browse our store themselves. Allow them the excitement of unwrapping the gift they chose, and forever share the memory of gifting them something truly timeless from Davern’s.
“May no gift be too small to give, nor too simple to receive, which is wrapped in thoughtfulness, and tied with love”
