Spryte Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Anyone with creative gift wrapping ideas for gift cards? Want to share ideas? In the past, we’ve done: Gift cards in nice water bottles and travel mugs Gift cards in reusable bags Gift cards in fluffy socks, gloves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambam Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Wow. I've just stuck them in Christmas cards. Or in their stocking. I'm not creative in this! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not feeling creative this year! I forgot that last year we put them in Bluetooth beanies, the ones with speakers built in. This year I’ve got 5 teens to give gift cards and absolutely zero new creative ideas. Ugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutheart Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Sandwich it between two rolls of patterned duct tape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I just wrapped it inside other wrapped boxes with a brick so the package was bigger and heavier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I use old jewelry boxes if I can find some that fit them. That way it is less obvious what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 How about taping them to the back of a flat ornament like this (rather costly!) or a do it yourself option Regards, Kareni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Or how about giving cash instead in a money balloon? ETA ~ another idea. Regards, Kareni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth S Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 IMO, the goal is to put the $$ into the gift card. But I did watch the Minimal Mom's sister Diana Kokku on Youtube She bought these jars at the dollar store & put the card inside, nestled in some fake snow?!? We do creative things when giving CASH as a gift (Origami, hiding them in books in the bookcase, $1 bills, etc). But usually they're "free" ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I have taken an empty jar and filled it with M & M's and slid the gift card in the middle. The recipients have always been pleased with the whole gift. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do similar - this year had to wrap photos or print outs from Amazon of gifts that were sent to dd in New Mexico, care of her boyfriend (and his gifts care of her). Note, they are flying out for the holidays, and will open gifts here...lightweight, small items easy to stick in luggage when flying back. But heavy/bulky items I let Amazon ship free to their townhome. I wrapped photos from the website taped to paperbacks, old shoes, etc...anything to make boxes seem big and interesting so they have stuff to open here letting them know what awaits them back in New Mexico. I still had a few of her old Shirley Temple videos in the basement, and taped some photos to the covers, with captions from Shirley commenting on the gift. DD and her boyfriend (almost fiancee) plan to open all the Amazon boxes once they get back home. I tape gift cards to cake mix boxes, pasta, etc and wrap that, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this once with a cinder block. My brother was visiting from out of state and anything that he received for Christmas had to go home with him on a plane. We wrapped his gift card in a huge box with a cinder block. :) I couldn't even lift the box to give it to him -- I slid it across the living room floor toward him. The look on his face when he realized this huge package was for him was *priceless*. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
