To be honest giving the recipient the option is a good idea.
I know everyone raves about john Lewis, for example. Bit I'd bin any of

This is probably a good moment to remind employees and contractors of
Wikimedia UK that comments about individuals or organizations that
appear defamatory, may be taken as a position of the charity,
especially if the charity does not take any steps to disassociate
itself from published statements.

Yawn, small minds and stuff :)
Please accept my apologies for the distraction he has caused on this thread.
Irrespective of whether or not Tom's comments reflect badly on the charity,
this public bickering definitely does. It's also outside the scope of the

I'd suggest taking this off-list, please.

In general, Tom Morris’s email is spot on here.
Choice is always a good approach to take, so saying £X of book vouchers of
your choice would be good, although it would be best to set out a list of what
their choice is (a wiki page that can easily be linked to?) so they don’t ask
for one that

Hi all,
As Jonathan suggested some time ago, in the publicity we can offer a gift

The average time it takes me to redeem an Amazon voucher is under a month.
I can say from experience I hang on to John Lewis vouchers for a lot longer
before needing to buy a cushion ;)
I agree with that Amazon vouchers are potentially problematic, but they're
also a lot more useful than many
Surely the easiest solution is to offer gift vouchers of the winner's
choice to the value of £X and ask all the finalists what their preference
