Gifts & Vouchers
Posted Gift Cards: An Adventure Through the Letterbox
An email is quick, but it's not much to unwrap. So alongside our instant e-gift vouchers, you can now have your voucher printed on a thick A5 card and posted first class, either straight to the person it's for or to you, so you can hand it over yourself.
How it works
- Buy your gift voucher as usual. Choose any amount, or pick a course and buy that course as a gift. Your voucher arrives by email straight away, just as it always has.
- Press "Post it as a card". You'll find the button in your confirmation email and in your account.
- Pick a picture and add your message. Tell us who it's for, where to send it, and what you'd like it to say.
- Check the preview. You'll see exactly how the card will look, front and back, before you pay.
- We print and post it. Cards are printed the next working day and sent first class by Royal Mail.
Choose a course to give
A voucher for a named course makes a lovely card: the course name is printed on the back, so they know exactly what adventure is waiting. Open any course and choose to buy it as a gift. A few favourites:
- Climbing: Outdoor Rock Climbing Taster Day or the Beginner Rock Climbing Course. See all climbing courses.
- Bouldering: Beginner Outdoor Bouldering Course. See all bouldering courses.
- Navigation: Right Way in a Day, perfect for walkers. See all navigation courses.
- Caving: Beginner Caving Day. See all caving courses.
- Mountain biking: Mountain Biking Taster Day. See all mountain biking courses.
- First aid: our outdoor first aid courses, a useful gift for anyone who spends time in the hills.
Or browse all our activities and courses.
Five pictures to choose from
The front of the card is a full-colour photo from our courses. Choose the one that suits them best:
- Climbing: two very happy climbers at the top of a gritstone route
- Winter walking: a team crossing a snowy summit plateau
- Mountain biking: splashing down a moorland trail
- Smiling climber: close up, mid-route and loving it
- Sunset on the moors: for anyone who just loves being out in the hills
The back has their name, your message, what the voucher is for (an amount or a named course), the voucher code and the expiry date.
Price and delivery
- £2.95, including printing, the envelope and first class UK postage.
- Printed the next working day, it usually arrives 1 to 2 working days later.
We can post anywhere in the UK.
Is it safe to post a voucher?
We've thought about this. The card goes in a plain white envelope, and nothing on the outside says it's a voucher or how much it's worth. The address shows through a window, and the code is printed well away from it.
You'll still have the voucher code in your email, so if a card ever goes missing in the post, get in touch at support@pureoutdoor.co.uk. We'll cancel the old code and send a new card.
Posting for Christmas
Around 4 in 10 of our gift vouchers are bought in December. To be sure the card arrives in time, order it by Thursday 17 December. Left it later than that? The e-voucher still arrives in seconds, and you can always print it at home.
Not sure what to give?
Our outdoor gift ideas guide has suggestions for every kind of outdoor lover, from first-time climbers to walkers who want to learn to navigate. Vouchers are valid for two years and can be used on any of our courses, so they can pick a date when the days are long and the rock is dry.
