Face values and denominations
For the Brown Thomas gift card we deliver 4 face values: € 50 · € 100 · € 150 · € 250. The smallest is € 50, the largest € 250. Face values mix freely inside one order — a small amount for everyone and a larger one for a service anniversary, for instance. We do not issue in-between amounts: the ladder comes from the assortment and is never rounded or generated.
Brown Thomas in a company context

We list Brown Thomas in Ireland under Department store, Premium retail. It is used there mainly for executive gift, long-service award, milestone recognition. As a closed-loop brand it is redeemed with the issuer only — the recipient spends inside that world, which for many employers is the point: the gift stays a benefit in kind rather than becoming a second payslip. With 4 face values between € 50 and € 250, Brown Thomas works for a small thank-you as well as for a bigger occasion. On tax, this is where it sits in this market: Qualifies under Small Benefit Exemption

Brown Thomas in Ireland: why this page stands on its own
This page speaks for Ireland: euro denominations from the Irish range, redemption in the Irish network, and the Small Benefit Exemption as Revenue applies it. The UK or wider-EU treatment does not carry over, and neither do the brands — of the 5 brands we deliver in Ireland, Brown Thomas is a closed-loop brand, which decides where the recipient can actually spend it.
How this compares with the other brands in Ireland
We deliver 5 brands in Ireland: 3 closed loop and 2 open loop. Brown Thomas runs from € 50 to € 250. The widest face-value ladder in this market belongs to Brown Thomas, the narrowest to Avoca. For a workforce with mixed budgets, that comparison shows quickly which brand fits which amount.
