Brown Thomas gift card for Irish employers

What we deliver

Our own product: the Brown Thomas gift card as we deliver it in Ireland.

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

Ireland's flagship department store, fashion, beauty, homeware. Ideal for premium employee recognition and executive gifts.

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
