A card to make your dreams come true! (or some of them anyway)
Don't know what to get them? Want a card to make keeping up with your points a bit easier? Just want a neat gift card so you can share with someone else? Eden gift cards make all of these things AND MORE possible!Published: January 8, 2012
Pros:
~Easy to use
~You can never get the "wrong gift"
~Holds balance if not all spent at the same time
~You can never get the "wrong gift"
~Holds balance if not all spent at the same time
Cons:
~Not re-loadable
Eden gift cards come in 4 different amounts to choose from. They come in amounts of $25, $50, $75, or $100. For my first gift card I decided to transfer my points into a $100 gift card. Instead of just using my points as I would normally, I chose to get a gift card so that I could also share some of it with my mom who is also a member of this site.
The gift card is about the size and shape of a credit card aside from the thickness. It is very thin, almost the type of thinness you'd expect from a thin product box, like a box of eye drops. The paper is shiny, much like a magazine, and very smooth. There is slight texture over the barcode on the back.
The gift card shows the amount on the top left corner, the card number on the right around the middle. This is what you will enter upon checking out with your items. The back of the card contains information such as the website it is to be used at (edenfantasys.com, of course) and the contact information for help. It also lists the site to go to for terms and conditions.
This card is excellent because if you are looking to give a gift to a friend, family member or partner who loves toys but don't know what to give them, here is the solution! Let them pick the item they desire most, and if they are a member of the community able to achieve points through the points system, they can combine this with points as well!
Although this is a little less personal than buying a vibe or a sleeve, this way you won't ever pick the wrong size, wrong color, wrong type of stimulation because they will be the one to choose!
The card may be a bit obvious, as it does say "love card" on the front and many people would at least guess that this is for something sensual or lingerie.
If you've used the card and don't feel like just throwing it away, you can either scrap book it or if you are super talented, create some cool Eden card origami! If you do this, please send me some pictures, I'd love to see them!

Experience
I decided to get a nice glass dildo for myself with this card and my mom is planning to get some body butter with some of it! I love the fact that this card does not expire and I can order whatever I want with it up to the amount on the card. If you don't spend it all in one sitting, it holds the balance!
Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
I love the option to purchase gift cards on Eden. I've ordered several for gifts, especially for my mother. I never know what she would like from this site and to make it easier and give her the option to choose her own gift, I simply give her the gift of a gift card!
These are great stocking stuffers, gifts for a co-worker if you know they love toys or sensual items, or just a great addition to another gift!

Gift cards make noise?
-
for some reason the eden gift card has been given 3/5 bees. i was not aware that it was as loud as a small appliance. ;)

Are You Aware That Only One GC Can Be Purchased
-
Are you(Eden) aware that only one gift card can be purchased without the hassle of resetting the site cookie? I was going to buy a few cards as gifts, and after the first here is the message where the "Add to cart button" is:
Thank you for ordering this item.
It's being shipped now. -

I was going to buy a few cards as gifts, and after the first here is the message where the "Add to cart button" is:I think that's only an issue if you do each as a separate order. Once in your cart, you can adjust the number up to 20 of each GC value offered.
Thank you for ordering this item.

I'm aware of that. I like to give gift cards. The friends can then buy exactly what they want. This am i bought a card for a friend. As soon as i completed check out,(as an after though),i decided to buy another for a different friend. The system locked me out. If it wasn't so pathetic, it would be laughable. How long has this company been in business?

Why Can't You Share Rewards Points With Friends
-
I have some rewards points accrued and was going to share them with a friend. However, the system wouldn't allow it. Anyone share their points? How do you do it? enter their shipping info through your account.

Here is the thread with the details: link

You could buy the product and send it to them, I guess that's the only option. I'll have to read up and figure out why they stopped it. :( Giving gift cards are so much better because you can be sure the person gets what they want to choose instead of having to choose a product for them and hoping it works for them and in the sex toy (or even lingerie) department, it's VERY hard to be sure.

Gift Card Idea
-
I am considering getting a friend of mine a few things from Eden for the holidays. I know there are a lot of things on here that she would like, and I got to thinking that I could order some things myself, or just give her a gift card (which seems a bit less personal, but would allow her to shop freely and get herself something naughty and fun). I know that I love getting gift cards! I would especially love an EF gift card! :) I just read some reviews on the gift cards, and I saw that they are paper (I wouldn't have guessed, though that's not a big problem for me). But also, that they all have the same image on them: the retro 60s rainbow trees and clouds Love Card image. I think it would be fun if there were multiple choices. A few with some subtle, but sexy naughty imagery would be awesome! And I know my friends would get more of a kick out of that, especially this one that I am planning my xmas gifts for right now!
Any thoughts? I think some sexy gift cards would be really fun. -
from my review, you know I agree with you on the picture.
I don't know what your shopping budget is, but I like the idea of making your own gift basket and including a gift card in it.
You can also skip the included envelope and get a sexy card that is intended to hold a gift card. There are tons around this time of year.
(and as opposed to gift "basket" a storage container of goodies would be sweet, even if a small one of the basics) (tons of ideas, I spend to much time thinking about sex toys,lol) -

I love Gift Cards and EF!
-
I somehow amassed butt load of gift cards from contests, eden points program, and contributing to the site.
I cant believe that EF actually allows the use of multiple GCs with discounts + shipping + coupon codes in one order! JUST AWESOME! I don't know any other website that does this. Very happy! I saved SO MUCH MONEY.
Just gushing. EF is brilliant. -
(love shower)
Isn't EF just the BEST?! I couldn't agree more! There are sites that do types of review programs and participation programs but nothing like what you will find here on Eden. I LOVE this site so much! -
Awesome! love EF too!
