First Anniversary First Post I've been Money Tipped!
in I wanna buy it or do it
Hi people, I'd like to buy my sister a multi-store gift voucher as a gift.

As she is pretty skint it would be helpful if it could be used at major supermarkets, Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons etc, but I cannot seem to find any that do.

Any tips or advice?

    Why not just give cash ?
    Then she can spend it wherever she wants and it doesn't have the possibility of expiring or conditions applied on what it can be used for

    I live in Australia, she lives in Carmarthenshire, mailing money (she doesn't have a bank account,) is a bit risky.

    Sending cash is the same as sending a gift card apropos the risk of loss/theft.

    You could use https://www.highstreetvouchers.com/gift/international-customers and send a selection of vouchers. Or find out which store is most convenient to your sister and buy that.

    Alternatively send her a postal order http://www.postoffice.co.uk/postal-orders but you will have to find someone else to buy it as I don't think you can order online.
