Give a Field Guide
Know someone who is learning Mandarin? A Home of Characters gift card lets them pick the guide they want: cooking mapo tofu from a Chinese recipe, ordering bubble tea, following a game of mahjong, or one of the guides still to come.
Which amount fits
- €14 covers one Field Guide.
- €20 covers a Field Guide with its Writing Companion, the workbook for writing the characters by hand.
- €50 covers Cook, Order, Play: Field Guides 001 to 003, each with its Writing Companion.
- €100 covers the bundle and leaves €50 for the guides that come after it.
Not sure which topic they'd like? Pick €20 and let them choose.
Sending it as a present
- Choose an amount on the gift card page.
- Tick "I want to send this as a gift".
- Fill in their email address. Their name, a message and a send date are optional.
- Pay as usual. On the date you chose, they get an email with the card and its code. If you leave the date empty, it goes out right after your order.
Leave the box unticked if you'd rather give it yourself. The card then comes to your own inbox.
Something to hand over
An email is easy to miss on a birthday. Print this card or forward it with your gift. It's an A5 PDF with room for their name, yours, a message and the code, plus a wish in Chinese: 祝你学习进步 (zhù nǐ xuéxí jìnbù), "wishing you progress in your studies". You can type in it or write by hand.
Questions
How does the gift card arrive?
By email from Home of Characters, either to you or, if you used the gift option, straight to them. The email has the code and a link to the card. If it doesn't show up, the spam or promotions folder is the first place to look.
Can it be used for the Cook, Order, Play bundle?
Yes. It works for every Field Guide, with or without the Writing Companion, and for the bundle. If the order costs more than the card, they pay the difference with a normal payment method.
What if they don't spend it all at once?
The rest stays on the card, and they use the same code next time.
Does it expire?
No. The card keeps its value until it's used up.
The email never arrived. What now?
Send us a message through the contact page with your order number and we'll send it again.
