gift cards
Too late for Christmas? Not quite.
Every single Toshi strap is handmade to order, by me, in my workshop. That’s what makes them so good, but it also means they can’t be rushed. My lead time is currently around 4 weeks, so the last day to order a strap in time for the holidays is approaching fast. Order by close of play on Monday 16th November and I guarantee I’ll have your strap posted before Royal Mail’s last posting date for Christmas, but after that, I can’t promise I can get it finished for you before the big day.
If you’ve missed the deadline, or you’re only just starting to think about a present for the watch enthusiast in your life, don’t worry. I have the answer. It’s a Toshi Straps gift card, and it means you can still give them a Toshi strap this Christmas.
Give a gift card
It’s an e-card, so there’s nothing to post and nothing to wait for. You can give it in whichever way suits you.
Send it straight to them. Tick “I want to send this as a gift”, then add their name, their email address and a message. You can even choose the date they’ll receive it, so you can buy it today and it can still land on Christmas morning. They’ll get an email telling them who the gift is from, with your message and the gift code inside.
Give it in person. Alternatively, buy the gift card without ticking the box and the gift code comes to you instead. Write it in a card, hand it over on the day, and the present feels a bit more personal.
Why it makes a good present
It shows you’ve thought about it. A gift card for a bespoke watch strap says you know they love their watches and you want them to have something special. That’s a long way from a last-minute panic buy.
They get exactly what they want. A made-to-measure strap depends on personal choices: wrist size, leather, colour, stitching, buckle. It’s hard to guess those on someone’s behalf, and you shouldn’t have to. The recipient simply enters the code at checkout and makes every one of those decisions themselves, so the strap they receive is truly what they want.
There’s no rush. My gift cards never expire, so there’s no pressure on them to order straight away.
So if you have a watch enthusiast on your shopping list, tick them off today with a Toshi Straps gift card, and give them something to look forward to.
