Why give a Gift Card Registry card?
The recipient chooses their own gift from 100+ participating Lakewood stores and businesses, and gets the full value of the card. Every card comes beautifully presented, from our free Signature Cardholder to a felt clutch, leather envelope or The Case. When just a gift card won't do, make it personal. Give The Gift of Choice.
Who is it for?
Everyone: men, women, teens, grandparents, teachers, therapists, employees, bar mitzvah boys, graduates and more.
How do I buy a card?
Order online: choose the amount and packaging, add an optional gift message, then pick pickup or delivery at checkout. You can also call us at 732.730.2321.
How do I order a special occasion package (Purim, Chanukah, Vort…)?
Add a Gift Card with one of the free packaging options (like the Signature Cardholder or an occasion card & holder), then add the package from Special Occasions to the same cart. We put the card inside the package.
Do the cards expire?
Cards expire 5 years after the month of purchase. Please reach out to us with questions about expired cards.
Where can I use the card?
At the participating stores and businesses on our store list, for merchandise or services. It cannot be exchanged for cash.
Can I split my card?
Yes. Gift cards may be split before use, for personal use, at the Gift Card Registry only. Please call 732.730.2321. Split cards are not re-wrapped.
Can I re-give a card?
Cards are for personal use only.
Can I exchange a card?
The purchaser has 3 months from purchase to exchange the card for equal or greater value.
Do you deliver?
Yes. Local delivery is $10 in Lakewood and $12 to Jackson, Toms River, Manchester and Howell, for any order. Free pickup is always available and needs no address. See delivery areas and cutoff times.
Can the card be mailed?
Yes, anywhere in the US: $3 by regular envelope (not tracked, free packaging only), $12 tracked ($15 when the order includes a special occasion package), or $25 express.
Do stores outside Lakewood accept the card?
No. The Gift Card Registry is accepted only by participating stores in Lakewood, NJ.
Do I need to spend it all at once?
No. You can split your card at our office before shopping. Once used in a store, that store issues a credit for any remaining balance.
Do you replace lost or stolen cards?
Unfortunately, we cannot replace lost or stolen cards.
Can a few people chip in for one card?
Yes! Start a group gift. Share one link, everyone pays any amount, and we issue one card for the total.
Is there a charge to purchase a gift card?
Online orders include a 3% credit card processing fee, already built into the price you see. To avoid it, call or text us at 732.730.2321 and pay by cash, Zelle or check. There are no other fees or taxes.
Is there a charge to use the card in a store?
No. The amount on your card is the full amount you can spend in a store.
