Gift cards make excellent gifts, especially if you know what type of stores the recipient enjoys and frequents. For instance, if you know someone who loves Apple accessories , an Apple store gift card will be appreciated.
Many big retailers like Sephora , Walmart, and a host of others often offer two kinds of gift cards; physical gift cards and electronic gift cards (also known as E-codes).
While both cards are valid forms of gift cards, they can be used differently. A physical gift card is a plastic card that can be bought from a physical store and used in-store or on the website, while the electronic gift card or E-code can only be bought on the store’s website.
When choosing a gift card for your friends and loved ones, several things need to be put into consideration. Below are some of the things that need to be considered before you choose a particular type of gift card to give someone.
5 things to consider before choosing between an E-code and a physical gift card:
Age group: For example, if you want to give a physical gift card to your grandmother, odds are she would prefer a physical one because older people prefer traditional things and find technology to be cumbersome. A younger person is likely to be more open to receiving an electronic gift card than someone of a more seasoned age.
Shopping Preference: Everyone has different shopping styles that they prefer; some people prefer shopping online to in-store shopping and vice versa. A physical gift card is more appealing to a person who prefers to shop in a physical store than an E-code, while an electronic gift card would be more appealing to someone who shops online frequently. They can also receive the E-code via email.
Gifting Experience: Physical gift cards are a better option if you want to offer a proper gifting experience, as they can be packaged thoughtfully in a way that shows the receiver you put a lot of thought into the gift.
Occasionally, gift card recipients need cash badly and would rather convert gift card into cash than to purchase something from the store. Physical gift cards always have better rates compared to E-codes on Online trading platforms like Cardtonic . Therefore, if you suspect the person you wish to give a gift card to may be going through hard times, and may feel embarrassed to receive actual cash as a gift, physical gift cards are a great option.
In conclusion, both kinds of gift cards are reasonable gifts to give. However, as I mentioned earlier, circumstances will dictate the suitable one to give as a gift.

British gadget and smartphone maker, Nothing Technology Limited, promised they would make their Android launcher available to the public before the Nothing Phone 1 is launched. They have lived up to that promise, and a Beta version of Nothing Launcher is now available in the Play Store.
Features of Nothing launcher (Beta)
Nothing Launcher (Beta) lets Android users preview “the unified design language” of Nothing OS. The launcher has the following key features:
- Nothing DOT-Matrix Widget
- Nothing Icon Pack
- Bespoke Clock & Weather
- Nothing Wallpaper & Style
- Hold & Press to enlarge icons/folders
The launcher is available, starting today on Google Play, and it is compatible with Samsung S21, Samsung S22, Google Pixel 5, and Pixel 6 for now. If you don’t own any of these devices, you are out of luck for now. The launcher will be extended to other devices later. OnePlus is specifically mentioned.
Nothing Launcher Review: Much ado about Nothing
On the 9th of May 2022, the launcher was made available to more devices, and this time it successfully installed on one of our devices. What was the outcome of our experience with it?
We wish we could regale you with fantastic takes of how much of a game changer it is, and of the unique features it brings to the table. Unfortunately, apart from the wallpaper and the font, there is nothing (literally) special about Nothing Launcher. Nothing.
This is Nothing Launcher, with a different wallpaper, looks average.
As a matter of fact, the default Nothing wallpaper isn’t exciting in any way. There is nothing special about the icon pack either. It does lets you use 3rd party icon packs. You can also switch between 4×5 and 5×5 app grids. For all the hype, there isn’t anything groundbreaking about it.
Nothing Launcher (beta) is now available for more Android devices. From what we have seen of it, you will be disappointed if you are expecting anything new. #NothingLauncher #NothingOS pic.twitter.com/zwvwMPanJs — MobilityArena.com (@MobilityArena) May 9, 2022
We are not quite hopeful that Nothing OS will be any different either, considering what we have seen of the launcher. The hype is obviously good for generating publicity and visibility for the brand.
