9 Places to Buy an IKEA Gift Card

Yellow logo sign on the outside of a blue IKEA building

Physical IKEA gift cards are available at any IKEA store, usually at or near the checkout registers.[1][2]

However, there aren’t many brick-and-mortar IKEA store locations, which makes stopping by an IKEA store to pick up a gift card unfeasible for many people in the U.S.

Fortunately, there are other options for buying both physical and digital gift cards, sometimes at a discount.

You won’t find IKEA gift cards on Amazon,[3] but we’ve compiled the list of other places that sell them below.

Note that most retailers offer IKEA gift cards in amounts ranging from $5 to $1,000, but availability varies depending on the retailer’s current stock.

There’s also a $10,000 per day total limit on IKEA gift card purchases.[1]

    This was very helpful…but yet disappointing. I live 200 miles from the closest Ikea and want to buy a physical gift card to wrap for a present. An eCard just doesn’t seem right to me. I can’t think of any other company comparable in size that makes it SO DIFFICULT! Guess they’ll be getting a gift from somewhere else instead.

    I live in Warrnambool Victoria Australia, and would like to purchase a gift card, is there a place here where I could do this?

      Hi Valmai,
      Since you live in Australia, your best bet for getting an IKEA gift card is to purchase straight from the IKEA Australia website. It costs a $4.50 fee to have the card put in the post and sent to you but once you’ve received it, it’s valid for 3 years. You can also purchase a gift card directly from any IKEA store.

    Awesome! I hope that will help prevent others from being scammed.

    Thank you

      Hi James,

      Unfortunately, it seems that the only physical store that sells Ikea gift cards is Ikea. The nearest one to Boardman, Ohio is 53 miles away in Pittsburgh. However, you can purchase a gift card directly from the Ikea website, or from any of the sites mentioned above, and have it shipped to your home. I hope this helps!
