As the holiday season approaches, finding the perfect gift becomes top of mind for everyone. To make it easier, we’ve spoken to Eline, our warm and welcoming receptionist, who knows how to make the most of your gift card.
What are some of the most popular experiences that guests use their gift cards for?
The favorites are definitely the Massage & Afternoon Tea and THIEF OF HEARTS package, Eline tells us with smile. A mix of relaxation and comfort, these packages are practically designed for the ultimate day-off experience. Who wouldn’t love a deep massage and a tasteful Afternoon Tea—or a romantic stay for two?
How does a gift card from THE THIEF provide a unique experience compared to a traditional physical gift?
The flexibility of our gift cards is what makes them stand out, Eline explains. They can be used across the hotel, restaurant, and spa. It lets people customize their experience to exactly what they want, whether it’s a massage, a flavorful dinner, or a night with breakfast included. Plus, with both digital and physical delivery options, it’s a stress-free solution for last-minute gift-givers too!
What are your top three recommendations for a memorable experience at THE THIEF?
Oh, that’s a tough one, but here are my favorites says Eline. First, I’d recommend the THIEF Spa—nothing beats the relaxing treatments and spa facilities. Then, if you’re looking for the ultimate experience, the I WANT IT ALL package is a must—it’s got everything you need for the perfect getaway. And of course, you can’t go wrong with a tasty dinner at the THIEF Restaurant or our Afternoon Tea—it’s the perfect way to unwind and treat yourself.
What feedback do you get from guests who receive gift cards—what’s their first impression?
Guests arrive with this wonderful sense of excitement, Eline shares. They’ve been looking forward to their experience, and they know it’s all paid for, so they can fully relax. And with a full year to use it, they can plan whenever suits them best—no pressure, just pure anticipation.
Tip: Make your gift stand out by adding a personalized note with “recommendations” or suggestions for the best time of year to visit, so they can dream up their ideal stay.
If someone wanted to “give an experience” with a gift card, what unique combinations of activities would you recommend?
Spa & Afternoon Tea package is a great option, she says. It includes 90 minutes in our spa facilities followed by afternoon tea with a selection of teas from Palais des Thés. But for the ultimate experience, she suggests ‘I WANT IT ALL’—a stay that truly covers everything. This package includes an overnight stay with breakfast, a 50-minute massage, spa access, a three-course dinner with wine pairing, and even entry to the Astrup Fearnley Museum. It’s practically designed to steal you away from real life for a while!
Make this holiday season one to remember by giving the gift of experience with a gift card from THE THIEF.
