How a gift card from Local Rule works
A gift card solves the most common gift dilemma for a golfer: you know the person plays and cares about what they wear, but not which size, colour or model fits. With a gift card the recipient chooses for themselves, and you don't have to guess between a polo, a pair of shorts or a cap.
The card is sent digitally by email after purchase. There's nothing to post and nothing that can arrive too late. The recipient gets a code to use at checkout, and any remaining balance stays for the next purchase. You decide yourself how much to load onto it, so the gift can be anything from a cap or a towel to a full outfit for the season.
Since the card is valid across the entire range, it can be redeemed on everything from polo shirts and t-shirts to trousers & shorts and outerwear. It's the gift for anyone who wants to give the right brand without having to pick exactly the right garment.
Which amount suits what
The amount determines what the recipient can realistically take home, and it's worth thinking through before you buy.
- A smaller amount is enough for an accessory. It could be a cap, a golf towel or a pair of socks, in other words something that complements a wardrobe the recipient already has.
- A medium amount often lands on a polo shirt or a t-shirt, which are the garments golfers use the most during the season.
- A larger amount opens up for outerwear, trousers & shorts or a combination of several garments ahead of a new season.
If several people want to go in together on a gift, the gift card is practical, since the amount can be increased without making the gift harder to give. Unsure what's reasonable? Take a look at the best sellers to get a feel for what the garments cost, and set the amount accordingly.
Gift card as a Christmas present for the golfer
Ahead of Christmas, the gift card is one of the safest cards to give a golfer. The season is on hold for most people in Sweden, and the recipient has time to calmly plan what they want ready for the spring opening. Instead of guessing at a size under stress in December, you let the golfer choose for themselves when the new arrivals land.
If you'd rather give something physical to unwrap, you can combine them: buy the gift card and add a small accessory such as a cap or towel, so there's both something under the tree and the freedom to choose the rest yourself.

For the beginner who has just started playing
A new golfer needs clothes that meet the course's dress code without the person knowing exactly what applies. That's where the gift card becomes extra useful, since the beginner can choose garments that work both on the range and on their first real round without you having to know the rules on their behalf.
Most clubs require a collar on the course, which makes a polo shirt a natural first purchase. If the recipient wants to read up beforehand, our guides golf dress code and golf outfit ideas for men go through what's expected, so the gift card is spent on the right garment from the start.
How the recipient redeems the card
When the gift is to be used, the process is simple. The recipient shops as usual in the store and enters the gift card code at checkout before completing payment. The amount is deducted from the code, and the rest is paid as usual if the purchase costs more than the card.
If the purchase is cheaper than the card's value, a balance remains on the code until next time. That means the card doesn't have to be used on a single order, but can be split across the season, for example a polo now and shorts when it gets warmer. Anyone who wants to explore the entire range first can find everything gathered under all products.
