If you’re not lucky enough to be going home for Christmas (sob!), you’re bound to have your mum on the phone in a panic, wondering how she can make sure ‘Santa’ pays you a visit. And until now, notoriously unreliable post has probably meant you’ve only even actually recevied about half the things that have been sent to you…

…which is why we’re loving YouGotaGift.com.

The site lets you send e-gift cards from more than 100 retail brands directly to friends and family living in the UAE, Qatar and Lebanon. It’s ridiculously easy, buy the cards (from shots like iTunes, Mall of the Emirates, Virgin Megastore, Vox Cinemas and Nike) from either the YouGotaGift.com website or via the app – and the best thing is, it won’t get lost in the post as it’ll be delivered direct to the recipient’s email.

Plus, you can personalise the gift, by adding personal messages, photos and even videos!
