Jewish Gift Giving: Tips on Writing a Gift Card
Here at Challah Connection,
we have learned the importance of effective gift card text and we are happy
to share our knowledge!
Writing text for a gift card that is accompanying gift can be a daunting
task.
The best advice is to:
-keep it simple and concise
-be honest about what you are trying to convey
-Be sure to add your name! We see MANY gift cards that are not signed!
With that said, it is still a difficult task, so feel free to use
the following advice and messages.
Hanukkah and Christmas
During the holidays everyone is busy preparing their homes and meals and
looking forward to celebrating. Giving and receiving a Hanukkah
gift basket or kosher
gift basket adds to the festive atmosphere. The gift card can be cheerful
and optimistic. It can be casual for family and friends, or a bit more formal
for business associates.
-Happy Hanukkah.
-Warm Wishes For A Joyous Hanukkah And A Wonderful
New Year
-The Spin Of The Dreidel, The Glitter Of Gelt, The
Warm Candlelight-May Your Hanukkah Be Happy, Healthy And Bright
-Happy Chanukah-May It Be The Best Ever
-Best Wishes For A Joyous Holiday Season And Successful New Year
-We Wish You Every Happiness This Holiday Season
Sympathy
We find that expressing condolences is a challenge for many. Sending a sympathy
gift basket or shiva
basket is the first step. The goal of the card is to convey caring, support
and appropriate comfort-in just a few lines. Besides using the ideas below,
you may wish to add a line or two about the deceased. "She always had the
warmest smile ready for me." Or "Her beautiful gardens will always remind
me of her." Remember, if you have been out of touch with the family for some
time or if you knew the deceased and not the family, be sure to include some
information in the card to let the receiver know who you are.
-Wishing Your Family Love, Support And Our Deepest
Sympathy During This Difficult Time
-Our Warmest Thoughts And Prayers Are With You During
This Time Of Sorrow
-With Our Heartfelt Sympathy
-We Are Thinking Of You And Your Family
-Our Thoughts And Hearts Are With You

Business Gifts
You'll need just the right words when you send kosher
gift baskets to customers, colleagues and business associates with whom
you want to maintain a great working relationship. Whether the gift is to
say "thank you", "happy birthday", to express sympathy, or "congratulations,"
select one of our messages and be sure to add your company name and the specific
group of people who are sending the gift.
