What is a practical present for new parents?

Credit that saves time: a takeaway card such as Deliveroo or Just Eat, or an Uber card for journeys. Pick a brand they already use.

Can I give streaming credit for night feeds?

Yes. Disney+ credit or Google Play credit covers films, series and audiobooks on a UK account.

What about the older brother or sister?

A small amount of in-game currency such as Robux, or a LEGO card, keeps them included. Check their account or the brand rules first.

Which amounts are available?

Each brand sells fixed amounts in pounds, shown on the product page. The price bands on this page only include those amounts.

Is there a service fee?

Gift cards, subscriptions and gaming credit carry none. Mobile top-ups and prepaid vouchers carry a fee shown before you pay.

How do I give the code?

The code is e-mailed to you after confirmed payment. Write it in a card or forward it with a message to the parents.

Is there a delivery time?

No delivery time is promised. The code is sent by e-mail after confirmed payment, so order with some margin.

Can colleagues chip in together?

There is no group payment. One person orders and the group settles the cost between themselves.

Do takeaway cards work everywhere in the UK?

They work on the brand’s UK site or app, where that brand delivers. The brand page lists the rule.

Can I buy a physical card?

No. Supercharge sells digital codes only, sent by e-mail.

New baby: credit that helps the first weeks at home

Updated on 27 September 2026

When is it

This year All year round 2026

Next year All year round 2027

A baby can arrive any day of the year, so this page has no date. The first weeks follow a similar pattern for most families: little sleep, lots of visitors, meals at odd hours and long evenings on the sofa with a newborn. The most welcome presents are the ones that take something off the parents’ plate rather than add to the pile of tiny clothes.

Food comes first for many. A Deliveroo or Just Eat card means a hot dinner without anyone cooking. An Uber card covers the trip to a check-up or to grandparents when driving is the last thing anyone wants to do. Each card is spent with the named brand only, on its UK site or app.

Then there are the night feeds. Disney+ credit fills the hours on the sofa. Google Play credit covers an audiobook, a podcast subscription or an app the parents find useful. For a parent who games, Nintendo eShop or PlayStation Store credit becomes something to play in short sessions when the baby is finally asleep.

For older siblings, a small amount of Robux or a LEGO card keeps them included on a day when all eyes are on the baby. Check the details before you pay: console and app credit needs a UK account, and every amount on this page comes from the brand’s UK ladder in pounds.

Any service fees for gaming credit, subscriptions and gift cards are shown before payment; mobile top-ups and prepaid vouchers carry a small fee shown before you pay. After confirmed payment the code is e-mailed to you, so you can write it in the congratulations card or send it with a message.

1. For the gamer

Credit for the console or game they already play. Check the platform first: PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo credit only works on a UK account of that platform. In-game currency such as Robux or V-Bucks is spent inside that one game, on the player’s own account.

2. For the student paying without a card

A prepaid voucher lets someone pay online in pounds without a bank card. Each voucher works at its own partner sites, so match it to where they want to spend. It is a common way for younger players to pay for games when nobody wants to share a parent’s card.

3. For the commuter on pay as you go

Phone credit keeps data and calls going on the train and the bus. You need the right network and the mobile number that gets the top-up. It suits anyone on pay as you go who would rather not run out of data halfway through the journey.

4. For apps, films and streams

Google Play credit on their phone or a streaming service they watch. It sits on their own account, so it has to be a UK account. It works well for someone who already pays for films, music or apps and would like a month or two covered.

5. For food, rides and treats

Gift cards for a takeaway, a taxi, clothes or a break. Each card is spent with the named brand only, on its UK site or app. These are the cards to pick when you know their favourite takeaway, shop or way of getting around.

How it works

1Pick the situation that sounds like the person and open the brand page that fits what they already use.
2Read the region rule on that page: account country, network or UK site. The currency is always pounds sterling.
3Choose one of the listed amounts. After confirmed payment the code is sent to you by e-mail, and you decide how and when to pass it on.
4Keep the e-mail until the code has been redeemed, so the person can check the code again if something goes wrong on their account.
