Gift card ideas to support employee wellbeing

If you are looking to launch or strengthen a programme to support employee wellbeing in 2025, here are some wellness ideas and supporting gift cards to help kick your vision into action.   

Spa or Wellness Treatments 

Gift cards for wellness experiences, treatments and spa days can help employees relax and recharge. The Wellness Card, Totally Well, Lavish Spa and Beauty, and Spa Breaks.com cover everything from visits to classic spas and holistic studios to Pilates classes, wellness retreats, salsa dancing and much more. 

Meal Delivery Services 

Gift cards from brands like HelloFresh, Uber Eats and Just Eats can provide healthy and convenient meal options, saving employees time and effort, and helping to support a better approach to nutrition, allowing more time for relaxation. 

Mental Health and Mindfulness Support 

Gift cards for subscriptions to apps like Calm, Headspace, or BetterHelp can support mental health and mindfulness.  Google Play and Apple Gift Cards can be redeemed for a variety of wellness apps.  Another option is Healthy Minds Club gift cards which allow recipients to choose from a whole range of wellbeing practitioners to support positive mental health. 

Books, Books, Books! 

Promote learning, relaxation and self-care with the joy of reading.  Gift cards for book shops like Waterstones or Amazon, or for digital platforms to download audio books will be great here. 

The Great Outdoors 

Gift cards for Decathlon will encourage employees to get kitted up to enjoy nature and outdoor activities for improved physical and mental health.  National Trust gift cards provide the opportunity to access nature right across the UK.  For some adventure and family fun, a Go Ape gift card would be perfect! 

Activewear 

Options like Adidas, Nike, JD Sports, American Golf and Bio-Synergy will enable your employees to stock up on new fitness wear, equipment and supplements to support existing hobbies, or to start new ones, providing a positive boost to mental health, fitness and wellbeing.   

Creative Hobbies 

Support creative outlets and relaxation with gift cards for LEGO, Hobbycraft, The Magazine Gift Card, Everyman Cinema, Odeon, Theatre Tokens, Ticketmaster, WHSmith, Wickes and B&Q for immersion into mindful activities and pure escapism, which will mean something different to everyone. 

Home Sanctuary 

Help your employees create a cosy space and home sanctuary with gift cards for stores like Dunelm, Homesense, IKEA, John Lewis, M&S and more to improve their work-from-home environment or personal relaxation zones.
