gift voucher
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
“Gift voucher” is very useful vocabulary for Christmas. On Wikipedia I noted they are also known as gift certificates or gift cards. Gift coupon is also possible. The Chinese word for these things is 礼券.
Getting one of these is a very nice gesture for any English teacher. It is also a sure way of supporting a shop in which you have received good service, but don’t know what in the shop you should purchase. Also, it reduces the risk of unwanted gifts considerably, which will probably end up on Ebay sometime.
