Three Easy Ways to Make a Gift Card Feel More Personal



Gift cards are one of the most popular gifts for a reason. They’re thoughtful, flexible, and guaranteed to be appreciated. In fact, they’re one of the most intentional gifts you can give. Instead of guessing someone’s size, style, or favourite brand, you’re giving them the freedom to choose exactly what they want.
That means the perfect fit every time.
At Square One, a gift card opens the door to hundreds of brands, great dining, and exciting new finds. Whether someone wants to refresh their wardrobe, pick up the latest beauty must-haves, or treat themselves to a great meal, the possibilities are endless.
Even better, today’s eGift Cards make it easy to add a personal touch that turns a simple gift into something much more meaningful. Here are three easy ways to make your gift card feel even more special.
A gift becomes more memorable when it includes a message from you.
When sending a Square One eGift Card, you can upload a short video or photo along with your gift. It’s a simple way to share a birthday wish, send a quick thank-you, or record a congratulatory message for a special moment.
A quick video saying “Happy Birthday!” or a photo from a shared memory instantly makes the gift feel more personal. It turns the moment of opening the gift card into something that feels thoughtful and intentional.
Sometimes the message is the part people remember most.




One of the easiest ways to make a gift card feel more personal is to turn it into a group gift. Whether you're celebrating a teacher, coach, colleague, a mom-to-be, or a milestone birthday, family, friends, and coworkers can contribute to one memorable present that feels truly special.
A larger gift card gives the recipient the opportunity to choose something they've been dreaming about, whether that's a designer handbag, a new winter parka, premium luggage for an upcoming adventure, or the latest laptop. It transforms a thoughtful gesture into a meaningful experience while giving them the freedom to pick exactly what they want.
To make the moment even more memorable, consider presenting the gift card with a group photo, a short video message, or handwritten notes from everyone who contributed. It's a simple touch that adds personality and creates a keepsake long after the gift has been received.

No matter the occasion, birthdays, holidays, graduations, or just because a Square One gift card makes gifting easy.
You’re giving someone the freedom to shop their favourite brands, discover something new, or treat themselves to something special. And with personalized features like video messages, photos, and eGreeting cards, you can make the experience feel even more meaningful.
Because the best gifts don’t just surprise someone — they give them the joy of choosing something they truly love.
One Gift Card. Every brand they love.
