Should I give a gift card to my neighbour?

[FlamingoAndJohn]

Just bumped into my neighbour, he lives with his brother, lovely chaps both of them.
They both work in an industry that means they are completely out of work at the moment. Nothing coming in. Not furloughed as both had changed jobs too recently.

I have a £25 supermarket gift card that I was given. I’m off on full pay. I’m doing fine for money.
Should I put the card through their door?

I wouldn't it could be quite insulting.

You don't know how much savings they have and there's lots of support for people.

I know. I don’t want to insult them at all.
But I feel so bad getting along fine while they are struggling.

I would give it to them - worse case scenario they're a bit offended (I wouldn't be) best case scenario you really make a difference

Can you post it annon to them?

Could you say you were given it but won't use it as you shop elsewhere? That way it can seem like you're offering away something useless to you, hopefully no room for then to be offended.

Ask then could they use it. Say you were given it free but you don't shop there. X

I'd put it through the door under the cover of darkness. No risk of embarrassment. Don't be put off doing something good because of what 'might' be the case.

I would just say you were given it but don’t shop there, would it be of any use. It’s a lovely thought OP.

I would buy something using the voucher food wise and drop over with a card, then it’s a gift and not charity if that makes sense.

Definitely do it. Much better they're offended than needlessly suffering.

That's really kind, OP. I would either do what others have said and just say "I've been given this but don't do my shopping there, would it be any use to you?" Or wait til you see them going for their exercise or something and stick it through the letterbox anonymously.

Did you give it to him, OP?

Oh definitely, that's so nice of you.
