Perhaps you’ve been struggling to find the perfect present, and want to cover your bases with a multi-purpose gift card?
Or maybe you received a Love2Shop voucher for Christmas, and just don’t know what to do with it?
Either way, you’ve come to the right place. Though the pinky-purple high street voucher is quite popular, you’d be forgiven for not knowing exactly how it usually works.
After all, there is no ‘Love2Shop’ shop, and it’s valid with multiple brands. Which brands, though, depends on the type of voucher you’ve got.
Here’s all you need to know.
Where can you buy Love2Shop vouchers?
Firstly, with Love2Shop, there’s a bit of a difference between a voucher and a gift card.
Love2Shop vouchers can be bought online as High Street Vouchers, as can Love2Shop gift cards.
The former is a paper voucher, which can be ordered in denominations of £5 or £10. You can add several to a book, and use multiple vouchers towards a purchase.
Meanwhile, gift cars are a bit sturdier, and you can put as much as you like on a gift card, anywhere from £1 to £400. The suggested figures that appear on screen are £25, £50, £100 and £200.
However, they are both valid with different brands, so it’s important you check before you buy or try to spend.
Where can you spend Love2Shop paper vouchers?
As they’re slightly different, you can spent Love2Shop vouchers and gift cards in slightly different places.
You’ve got a bit more choice of retailer with the Love2Shop paper voucher, which can be spent with around 150 brands.
This includes everything from days out to new shoes, jewellery to stationary, new glasses to video games.

There some pretty big restrictions on usage for a fair few places. So keep that in mind.
For example, certain theme parks only allow use for walk-in admission prices, rather than pre-booked online. If you’re trying to make a saving, that might not be the best bargain.
Make sure you check the full list of restrictions on Love2Shop’s website.
