Cardtonic’s expanding Buy Gift Card Catalogue, is reshaping how Nigerians use gift cards, turning them from simple trading assets into everyday tools for shopping, budgeting, entertainment, and local spending.
There is usually that moment when you are trying to buy a gift for someone and suddenly realise you have no idea what to choose. Clothes feel too risky, perfumes seem too personal, and sending cash can sometimes feel too impersonal for an important occasion.
Then somewhere in the middle of overthinking the options, a simple idea comes up: what if they could just choose what they actually need themselves?
That quiet realisation is part of why local gift cards are becoming more appealing to many Nigerians. A grocery gift card, cinema voucher, pharmacy card, or beauty store gift card can feel both thoughtful and practical at the same time, especially because it connects directly to things people already spend money on in everyday life.
Cardtonic’s expanding Buy Gift Card Catalogue is building around that convenience. While many Nigerians previously knew the platform mainly for selling gift cards, it is gradually evolving into a broader marketplace where users can buy local and international gift cards for different lifestyle needs directly from one app.
