Give the gift of choice this Christmas

It’s November, and suddenly, we are hurtling towards Christmas when gifting is on all our minds. There’s not much that beats the anticipation of excitedly tearing paper off presents. But what if that gift just doesn’t hit right?

Why settle for guesswork when you can give the perfect gift and support our beloved city at the same time? The Nottingham Gift Card takes the stress out of finding the ideal present, ensuring your loved ones can choose something they’ll truly enjoy. Plus, every purchase helps boost Nottingham’s vibrant city centre. It’s a win-win for everyone – because there’s no better way to show you care, for your loved ones and our city!

Get involved, with the latest initiative to keep our High Streets thriving and our favourite businesses standing strong. With a Nottingham Gift Card, you are giving so much more than just a gift, you are presenting your family and friends with an opportunity to indulge and invest in their city – and it couldn’t be easier!

Acquire a card online or pick one up at John Lewis & Partners in Victoria Centre, it will give them access to more than 115 shopping, dining and entertainment attractions. This is no ordinary purchase; you are buying into a shopping tradition that turns a financial transaction into a sensory experience that simply sings festive spirit.

Think twinkly lights, seasonal aromas, and a sense of celebration in the air. Among the bustle of modern life, you are offering shoppers the chance to #takeamoment, peruse the rails and shelves, and choose something for themselves based on touch and feel, as well as what it looks like. Picture them running their hand over that cashmere sweater they’ve had their eye on for ages.

You are enticing them to book a treat weekend with endless possibilities. For the out-of-towners, a Christmas wish might be a luxurious night in one of our fine hotels, choosing to start their day with a light bite and browse at Delilah Fine Foods, before a heady scented experience at LUSH. They might long for a visit to Austen & Blake where precious jewellery and gems sparkle under shop spotlights, eyes widening with desire.

Maybe they would prefer a robust breakfast at Browns to fuel up before retail therapy that begins with a little ‘try before you buy’ at Molton Brown, opting for a top-notch product for the body or home. The beauty of the Nottingham Gift Card is that there’s no expiry date!

Check out the list online for a wide range of food and drink outlets, as well as music and entertainment venues, such as Rescue Rooms and Motorpoint Arena. For those committed to health and fitness, Up and Running and Virgin Active are also participating in the scheme. So, take a look, there is literally something for everyone!

And if a shopping trip extends into the evening, a meal in the lively atmosphere of Gusto, or a classic dish with a dash of magic at The Alchemist, would end a fulfilling day with a delicious flourish – maybe a cocktail or two at The Blind Rabbit?

Not exclusively for friends and family, the accessibility of this card option makes it the perfect thoughtful gift solution for colleagues and clients.

And as it’s such an inspired idea, why not buy, load, and set one aside for yourself for a treat day? Go on, you know you deserve it!
