Great Gifts for the Football

Football fever is officially here - and it's a great gift theme for Birthday and other special occasions coming up.

At highstreetvouchers.com we have loads of great gift vouchers and gift cards, perfect for football fans. With the Love2shop Gift Voucher they can buy football party snacks at Iceland, a big screen TV at Comet, goals for the garden at Argos, footballs and kits at JJB Sports...

They can even use Amazon gift cards to buy their fav football DVD's, or B&Q Gift Cards to get the BBQ ready for the big game.

So rather than buying someone a gift your not too sure on - get them Love2shop and give them the choice of thousands of items across 20,000 top UK stores! Or choose from our wide selection of other great vouchers and gift cards.

Have you got something to say?

Everyday you will see hundreds from TV ads of companies selling themselves, receive emails informing you of promotions, get texts for special offers...

Of course all of the above is useful to keep you informed of the latest news a brand has - but what about you?

If you have bought a gift voucher or gift card from highstreetvouchers.com why not let us know how it was for you?

Get a Hole in One with Golf Gift Vouchers

We all have a golfer in the family - and if we're honest with ourselves, we've all bought that golfer a novelty golf gift because we don't know what else to buy them - and there's one thing you can guarantee - they've never used it!

This year, be brave when buying that 'awkward' golfer a gift and go for something they will actually like! 

Now available from HighStreetVouchers.com are Golfbreaks.com Gift Vouchers. These fantastic golf gift vouchers can be spent on golf breaks around the world!

Available in £25 denominations, Golfbreaks.com Gift Vouchers are a great way of 'chipping' in to their next golf holiday - or if there's a group of you buying for someone - you could even give enough for the whole break!

Either way these Golf Gift Vouchers will 'putt' a smile on any golfers face!

(*Note: please excuse the excessive use of golf puns)

When this situation arises you have 3 options:

- Run to the garage and buy car accessories or a barely living bunch of flowers this is good if they love wiper fluid or popery.

- Find a dusty card and pop some money in it - the ideal impersonal gift.

- Visit highstreetvouchers.com and send an E-Voucher for one of they're favourite shops - let them think you've really thought about their gift and are embracing modern technology in its delivery!

E-Vouchers are instant email gift vouchers - sent direct to the recipients inbox.

Women Spend Three Years Shopping!


Online Market Research company OnePoll have released survey results that the average woman spends a staggering 3 years shopping! (25,184 hours and 53 mins over a period of 63 years).

This got us thinking...and we've figured out a way to claw back some of this lost time:

Next time you need to buy a gift, don't waste time agonising over what's right for them - just visit highstreetvouchers.com and buy a gift voucher or gift card :)

This way you will save your time (it only takes a couple of minutes from landing to checkout) and you will avoid getting them something they don't want - Perfect!

Warm weather this weekend!


 Throw your coats to the back of the wardrobe and pull out your skimpys because according to the Met Office this weekend is going to be a scorcher (well for April).

Temperatures are expected to reach 18C around most parts of the UK! And as usual we have a few ideas to make it a good one!

Why not buy a BBQ with B&Q Gift Cards, an Ice Mocha with your Starbucks Gift Card or spend the day in the garden with National Garden Gift Vouchers.

Whichever way you choose to spend this glorious weekend (and remember it may be the only one for a while), check out our range of Gift Vouchers and Gift Cards and make it extra special for friends and family!
