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
