About Build A Bear
Build-A-Bear turns a simple reward into a hands-on experience. Recipients choose an unstuffed animal, add a heart and a wish, and dress it in outfits they pick themselves. For a business, that makes the card feel like a thoughtful gift rather than a payment, which works well when you want to celebrate a milestone or say thank you to someone's family.
GIFQ offers this card in two countries: Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The Qatar card is denominated in Qatari riyals and can be used at Build-A-Bear stores across the country. The UAE card is in dirhams and is tied to the one store at Dubai Festival City Mall. Each is a separate product with its own amount range and rules, so you choose the card that matches where your recipient is.
A card bought for one country does not work in the other. If you have recipients spread across both, you would send each person the card for their country in their local currency. The market pages list the allowed amounts and other details. For example, both cards can be loaded with any amount between 50 and 5,000 in their local currency and remain valid for 12 months.
These cards fit rewards that are personal and family-oriented: an employee's child's birthday, a customer appreciation gesture, or a payout to a researcher or freelancer who would value a gift over cash. Because the card is redeemed in person and cannot be split across purchases, it suits a complete experience rather than everyday spending.
Through GIFQ, you can send Build-A-Bear cards in bulk from the dashboard or one at a time via the API. Use them across Qatar and the UAE from one place, each card issued in the recipient's own currency. That keeps payouts simple when your team or customer base is spread across the Gulf.
