Crystal-Covered Gift Cards

This Starbucks Gift Card is Covered with Blue Swarovski Crystals

— December 14, 2015 — Luxury
To satisfy the need for luxury stocking stuffers, Starbucks is now offering a gift card covered in blue Swarovski crystals. Although gift cards make for easy gifts, many people think that they lack the same impact as something more personal. If you're looking for a way to dress up a basic gift card, these luxury Starbucks Cards are the perfect way to do it.

Continuing its tradition of offering luxury gift card options, Starbucks is now selling a limited-edition card that is covered in blue Swarovski crystals. The card itself is made from stainless steel and comes in a deep blue hue. The exterior is covered in crystals, which adds a touch of luxury to the traditional coffee shop gift card. The card even comes in a festive red gift box to let recipients know that they are getting something extra special.

The card itself costs $200, however recipients will only receive $50 to spend at the coffee chain.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Gift Cards - The trend of creating luxury gift cards covered in crystals or other high-end materials presents an opportunity for brands to elevate the gifting experience.

3. High-end Stocking Stuffers - The demand for luxury stocking stuffers, such as crystal-covered gift cards, opens up opportunities for brands to offer high-end products for the holiday season.
Industry Implications
