Loving Local Gift Cards

Loving Local Gift Cards make excellent Christmas gifts, prizes and giveaways!

Are you looking for the perfect present for your team and networks this Christmas? Now is the time to order Loving Local Gift Cards for the festive season!

Lismore’s Loving Local Gift Cards are designed to support small businesses and the community. The program features a growing range of participating local businesses in the program across Lismore and Goonellabah.

The Loving Local Gift Card keeps money within the community. It encourages people to shop locally in our area as the cards can only be spent in participating local stores.

You can order the gift cards in bulk online through the card facilitators, Why Leave Town, at https://www.whyleavetown.com/bulk-card-orders or simply purchase cards at a select number of ‘load up’ stores in Lismore. Currently these include SHOPBABY, Intersport and Daleys Homewares.

You can load as littles as $10 up to $1000 onto the card, which can only be spent in Lismore participating businesses. Each card gives the holder plenty of choice.

Every time a Loving Local Gift Card is loaded, 100% of the money heads straight back to local businesses.

The 2022 floods have had devastating impact across Lismore and the region. Lismore City Council are working to support business recovery, and will share updates to the map of participating stores where you can load up and redeem gift cards.

You can also buy the cards online here and find out more about local businesses reopening here.

The community gift cards are designed to help keep money within our community by encouraging people to shop locally, and are delivered through the Why Leave Town (WLT) program.

We invite Lismore businesses – across retail, services, food, groceries, sports, health, culture and entertainment – to join the Loving Local Gift Cards program. It’s free and easy to sign up, get marketing materials, and get involved in the Loving Local Gift Card network so that customers can use the gift cards at your store. There are also opportunities for the gift cards to be used for prizes, sponsorship, corporate gifts and relief support.

Lismore City Council launched the Loving Local Gift Card program in collaboration with the Lismore Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

This is a key promotional and support campaign as part of the Business Activation Plan, funded through the Special Business Rate Variation Levy and Lismore City Council.
