Tinggly, the experiential gift company, today introduced a new line of Themed Gift Cards, designed to modernize the gift-card category by giving recipients the freedom to choose any experience or hotel stay from more than 150,000 options globally.
The cards are available in dozens of themes (city and country specific, hobby and interest, relationship and occasion) and range from $20 to $1,000, offering a faster, more flexible alternative to single-merchant vouchers.
“Traditional gift cards lock recipients into one store or restaurant,” said Laurynas Kundrotas, CEO at Tinggly. “Tinggly’s Themed Gift Cards solve that problem by placing the value directly in the recipient’s account so they can select the hotel, cooking class, or date-night activity that most excites them. It’s a better experience for givers and recipients alike.”
A timely upgrade to the gift-card market:
Gift cards remain a major part of the American holiday economy, but the category has well-known limits. More than half of shoppers list gift cards among their top wish-list items, and overall gift-card spending is projected in the tens of billions annually.
At the same time, millions of dollars in value sit unused: a recent survey found that roughly 43% of Americans have at least one unused gift card, with the average unused balance nearly $244 – underscoring how single-merchant cards can lose value over time.
Tinggly’s Themed Gift Cards address many of these pain points by offering:
- Choice over constraint: Unlike a restaurant or retailer-specific card, Tinggly’s cards let recipients apply their balance to any eligible experience or hotel stay on the platform – from city cruises and spa days to cooking classes and weekend getaways.
- Transparent balances: The card value appears in the recipient’s Tinggly wallet, so it’s clear exactly what’s available to spend.
- Flexible redemption: Use the balance in full or part; if the experience costs more, the recipient pays the difference at checkout.
- Fast e-gifting: Buyers can purchase and deliver an e-gift in under 10 minutes – ideal for last-minute gifts or corporate recognition.
- Corporate customization: Co-branded vouchers, bulk purchasing, and dedicated support make these cards a practical choice for HR rewards, client appreciation, registries, or milestone gifting.
How it works
Recipients redeem their code at tinggly.com/redeem, create an account, and the gift-card value appears in their Tinggly wallet. They can then browse and book from over 150,000 experiences and hotel stays across more than 100 countries.
How the gift card differs from a Tinggly Gift Box:
While gift boxes present a curated selection within a price band, a Tinggly Themed Gift Card places the monetary value in the recipient’s Tinggly wallet, giving them full visibility and control over how to spend it. Gift boxes remain an excellent high-touch option; the card offers additional flexibility for buyers who want the recipient to have a choice of any experience on the site.
Plenty of Ways to Use:
Tinggly’s themed cards are designed for employers modernizing rewards programs, couples building registries, families seeking meaningful holiday options, and anyone who wants a fast, thoughtful gift – with minimal friction. Cards are ideal for last-minute purchases and for organizations needing a scalable, customizable employee recognition solution.
