9 of the best gift cards available in the UK with immediate delivery — Amazon, PlayStation, Ikea, John Lewis, and more

Amazon Gift Card: from £5
I'm starting with an easy and obvious choice. Amazon is one of the biggest and most popular online retailers, with a vast range of stock often available at some of the lowest prices online. I'll admit, it's a safe and fairly unexciting option, but you can almost guarantee they'll be able to find something they want to buy here – and it's often cheaper than it is anywhere else, too.

Etsy Gift Card: custom amounts available from £5
Instead of the usual big-name retailers, perhaps you could consider an Etsy Gift Card instead. The online store's vast range of boutique sellers is great for jewellery, clothing, decor, and other hobby items, especially for personalised, custom, niche, or quirky goods that you're unable to find anywhere else.

PlayStation Wallet Voucher: save 15% at ShopTo
Specialist gaming retailer ShopTo is currently running an offer with up to 15% off PlayStation gift cards. These will give the gamer in your life credit to spend in the official PlayStation Store on new games, some add-ons for their favourite titles or extend the length of their PlayStation Plus subscription to play online with friends. The funds don't need to be spent immediately, either, so they can be redeemed and held in their account for future use.

Currys Gift Card: eGift cards from £10
When it comes to tech, very few options are better than Currys. Gift cards at the retailer start from just £10 - and can be loaded all the way up to a whopping £1,000 for the very generous out there. Use them in-store or online to purchase everything from smart home tech and headphones, to kitchen appliances and gaming gear.

IKEA Gift Card: up to £250
It doesn't matter if you're just moving into a new place or have lived in the same home for years – you could always use another piece of IKEA furniture. It's a go-to option for loads of versatile and affordable furniture, as well as decor, homewares, storage, lighting, and more. Whatever the case, they're sure to find some way to spend it.

Uber Eats: digital gift cards from £25
Sometimes we enjoy a nice home-cooked meal. Other times, we just want to treat ourselves to a takeaway. Whoever you're buying for will always appreciate having some funds on hand to get whatever they're craving delivered to their door.

Nintendo Store Gift Card: from £14.85 at ShopTo
Is the gamer in your life more of a Nintendo fan instead? ShopTo is also the best place to buy Nintendo gift cards currently, given that there are slight discounts on every version. While these aren't huge savings, they're essentially money off the credits you can use on the Nintendo eShop to buy games and add-ons for the Switch and Switch 2, so any price cuts are very welcome.

John Lewis Gift Card: in-store and online cards from £10
Offering everything from fashion and homewares to furniture and tech, John Lewis is another solid all-around option if you're struggling for a last-minute gift idea. The retailer usually runs a big Boxing Day sale, too, so there should be a good number of offers to pick from when it's time to use the gift card.

Crunchyroll Mega Fan Yearly Subscription: was £59.99 now £47.99 at Crunchyroll
Less of a gift card and more of a gift subscription, this is a rare price cut on a yearly membership to the Mega Fan tier at Crunchyroll. The service has the largest library of anime series globally, and this offer is the best you can expect for the foreseeable future, so it's a great time to sign up a fan. Crunchyroll is also ending its free ad-supported tier, so this is the cheapest you can get the subscription before you're forced to pay for content.
