Though the user will need to have a printed copy or the email confirmation and have the name and email address of the person who purchased it online. Unfortunately, an in-store Magpie Gift Card cannot be used online by the user but a work-around is possible, please reach out to r.young@magpiejewellery.com if you have an in-store card you would like to use online.
