Little City Gift Card Relaunched During 2023 Holiday Season

FALLS CHURCH, VA — For a second year, the City of Falls Church is looking to incentivize shopping local for the holiday season with the relaunch of its Little City Gift Card program.

The Little City Gift Card can be purchased for use at about 70 participating local businesses in Falls Church. The initiative was introduced in 2022 by the Economic Development Office and Economic Development Authority to help with COVID-19 recovery and promote local spending. This year's gift card program began on Small Business Saturday.

A purchase of the Little City Gift Card sends the recipient a digital e-gift card. The city has supplied $100,000 in funding for the program to provide gift card recipients with bonus values. Funding is provided through the city's American Rescue Plan Act funds.

Bonus values depend on the value of the gift card purchased. For example, the purchase of a $30 gift card comes with a $15 bonus value for a total of $45. A $50 gift card comes with a $25 bonus value for a total of $75. A $100 purchase comes with an additional $50 for a total of $150. Gift cards come with bonus value until funds run out.

There is a limit of three bonus value gift cards per person. Bonus values will expire 90 days after the purchase, but remaining balances will not expire.
