FamilyMart virtual gift cards have truly solved my problem of being afraid of giving the wrong gift. In the past, when I gave birthday gifts to friends, I was always worried that they wouldn't like what I bought, or even that they wouldn't be able to use them. But virtual gift cards eliminate this problem entirely, because the recipient can go to FamilyMart and choose the items they need. They can be used for coffee, snacks, bento boxes, fresh food, and even small daily necessities – it's very flexible. And since they're electronic, you don't have to worry about losing the card or forgetting to bring it with you. As long as you link your phone, you can pay with the card anytime. Convenience stores are all over Taiwan, so you're sure to find one no matter where you live. For me, this is a better option than a red envelope and more thoughtful than a physical gift.
