How Wonderbox gifts work (so you don’t overexplain on Christmas morning)
- Choose the experience or Merry Christmas Gift Card amount.
- Gift the e-voucher instantly by email (add your message) or print it for a physical reveal.
- Redeem online: she enters the voucher number, browses options, and picks dates.
- Enjoy together. Unused vouchers can be exchanged free; unredeemed vouchers refundable within 14 days.
How to present the gift so it lands
- Slip the voucher into a small ornament or tie it around a box of macarons.
- Add two sample date ideas on a note: one soon, one later, so she feels zero pressure.
- Include a tiny extra that hints at the experience: a silk sleep mask for a getaway, chocolate truffles for brunch, or a playbill-style card for a Broadway night.
For a first Christmas together, keep it personal, flexible, and memorable.
Whether you choose a one-night getaway, a Broadway show, brunch for two, a spa day, or the Merry Christmas Gift Card so she can pick her perfect plan, Wonderbox makes it simple to give a gift that feels thoughtful now and magical when you take it.
