[Gift Vouchers](https://academy.giftpro.co.uk/gift-vouchers-products?hsLang=en-gb#gift-vouchers) # Expanding Your Gift Voucher Offering Beyond Monetary Vouchers ## A monetary voucher is easy to buy and flexible to redeem but it can feel a little impersonal, and it puts all the creative work back on the recipient. Experience‑based gifting continues to grow in popularity because it does the opposite: it tells the buyer exactly what a wonderful moment they're giving, and it tells the recipient they were thought about. #### **Why offer more than a monetary voucher?** Higher perceived value: a named experience feels more generous than the same amount as cash, even at an identical price point. Better margins: bundled packages let you build in food, drink or treatment costs at your own rates. Fills quiet periods: experience vouchers can be designed to steer redemptions towards midweek or off‑peak times. #### **Hotels** **In-room treats** - **Bottle for the room:** A bottle of wine, prosecco or champagne waiting in the room on arrival is a simple, low‑cost way to make a stay feel special. **Dining at the hotel** - **Dinner for two, your way:** A dinner voucher with drop‑downs for number of courses (2/3) and number of guests, so buyers can build the package that suits. - **Set dinner and wine bundle:** A fixed 2 or 3‑course meal for two with a bottle of wine included, priced as a single package. - **Afternoon tea for two:** A popular, easy‑to‑gift option that works well for grandparents, friends or colleagues, and is simple to fulfil midweek. - **Sunday lunch voucher:** A roast lunch package for two or four is great for family gifting occasions. **Stays and bundles** - **Dinner, bed and breakfast:** Combine a stay with dinner the night before or breakfast the morning after, bundling rooms and food together where you offer both. - **Room and breakfast:** A simpler overnight package for guests who want a stay without a full dining commitment. - **Midweek escape:** If midweek occupancy is quieter, create a stay‑only or stay‑plus‑breakfast voucher priced attractively and only redeemable Sunday–Thursday. - **Seasonal stay package:** A festive, Valentine's or New Year package with a fixed inclusion list (stay, breakfast, a glass of something on arrival) sold for a limited window. - **Work‑from‑hotel day pass:** A day‑use room with WiFi and lunch at a lower‑cost, midweek‑friendly product that uses rooms that would otherwise sit empty. #### **Restaurants** Ideas that go beyond a simple cash-value dining voucher. **Set menu experiences** - **Build‑your‑own dinner:** A dinner voucher with drop‑downs for number of courses and number of guests, letting the buyer set the exact experience and price. - **2 or 3‑course meal with wine:** A fixed package for two, starter/main or starter/main/dessert with a bottle of wine included. - **Tasting menu with wine pairing:** A premium package for special occasions, priced to reflect the pairing and extra courses. - **Chef's table or kitchen experience:** A small number of covers at the pass or a table with a short introduction from the chef. **Occasion-led packages** - **Date night bundle:** Starter, main, dessert and a cocktail or glass of fizz each, priced as one simple package. - **Afternoon tea:** Works well as a lower price‑point gift and is easy to schedule outside of busy dinner service. **Filling quiet periods** - **Midweek lunch voucher:** If midweek is quiet, create a lunch offering — a shorter, lower‑cost menu redeemable Monday–Thursday only. - **Early sitting offer:** A slightly reduced package for tables seated before a set time, to spread demand across the evening. **Beyond the table** - **Private dining or venue hire:** A voucher towards hire of a private room for a small group, positioned as a gift for the host rather than one diner. - **Cookery class or masterclass:** A hands‑on session with a chef a strong gift for food‑lovers and a good use of quieter daytime hours. - **Hamper or takeaway voucher:** A take‑home version of a signature dish or dessert, useful for gifting to people who can't easily dine in. #### **Spas** Ideas for treatment-led businesses, on their own or alongside rooms. **Treatment bundles** - **Treatment bundle:** Combine two or three treatments for example a massage, facial and manicure into a single spa day package. - **Couples treatment:** Side‑by‑side treatments for two, often paired with use of facilities such as a pool, sauna or relaxation lounge. - **Express pamper:** A shorter, lower‑cost combination (e.g. express facial and manicure) for gifting at a lower price point. **Full spa days** - **Spa day with lunch:** A full day combining one or two treatments, use of facilities and a light lunch. - **Wellness day:** A yoga or fitness class combined with a treatment and a healthy lunch, for a more active wellbeing gift. - **Bridal or hen party package:** A group package of treatments for a bridal party, priced per person with a group facility add‑on. **Filling quiet periods** - **Midweek spa offer:** If midweek is quiet, create a stay or treatment offering priced to encourage Monday–Thursday bookings specifically. - **Off‑peak treatment course:** A course of, say, six sessions of one treatment prepaid at a discount, redeemable only at off‑peak times. **Seasonal and occasion led** - **Seasonal treatment:** A summer skin‑refresh or winter warming massage package, refreshed each season to give buyers a reason to return. - **Mother's Day / Father's Day package:** A themed treatment bundle timed to key gifting calendar moments. - **Retail add‑on:** Pair a treatment with a full‑size retail product used during the session, adding a tangible take‑home item to the gift. **Need more help?** Talk to our support team via live chat or call us on **02381 290555** (Mondays -
