Gift Voucher or Keepsake Ticket: Which Should You Give?
By Stacy, Momeo Co-founder · 2 min read
You've bought the experience and the voucher has arrived, usually as an email with a code in it. Now you're wondering whether that's the gift, or whether it needs something more.
What's the difference between a gift voucher and a keepsake ticket?
A gift voucher is how they book: a code or a certificate from the spa, the theatre or the experience company. A keepsake ticket is what they open: a printed ticket with their name, the experience, the day and a few words from you. It doesn't replace the voucher, and it doesn't get them in anywhere.
When is a gift voucher enough on its own?
When they'd rather sort it out themselves straight away, or you're sending it from far away, the voucher does the job. It's also fine for a small thank-you, where the experience is the whole point and nobody is expecting a moment of unwrapping.

When does a keepsake ticket make the better gift?
When there's a moment to give it: a birthday breakfast, an anniversary dinner, a card on Christmas morning. A forwarded email is hard to hand over. A ticket in an envelope gives them something to open now, and something to keep once the day has been and gone.
Can you give both?
Yes, and it's how we'd do it. Keep the booking safe, give the keepsake ticket on the day, and if they need the code to book, tuck it into the envelope with the ticket. How to present an experience gift has more ideas for the moment itself.
