Easter is this weekend, and over the last few decades people went from hiding a few eggs and chocolates around the house and yard to what is essentially Christmas In Spring. Now people give actual gifts for the Easter holiday above and beyond just a few hollow-chocolate bunnies. However, things are dramatically different here in the year 2020, and a lot of the gift-exchanging is on hold due to responsible social distancing. What to do? If you know someone in need of a gift for any occasion right now, the best thing you can do is buy a virtual gift by way of a digitally-delivered gift card.
Best Gift Cards by Email

With most online retailers completely swamped right now, and the majority of states under orders to close all “non-essential” businesses, sending someone an online gift card is a great choice for your gift-giving needs. For one, they don’t have to spend it right away, so they can hold off until things settle down again. Or not.
Another advantage to an emailed gift card opposed to a traditional, physical card, is it removes shipping from the equation entirely. Amazon isn’t alone in its warehouse woes, with many online businesses slowing down estimated shipping times due to massive demand. Sending someone a digital gift card ensures it arrives on time and doesn’t add to the shipping burdens currently in place. If the card is used for digital purchases, even better.
Whether you’re looking to give someone a little something for Easter, celebrate a birthday or other occasion, or just to be nice, definitely consider the convenience of a gift card right now.
