Hi everyone! I wanted to share a quick and cute way to wrap a gift card for the holidays or any occasion really. Gift cards are the perfect gift for someone who is hard to buy for or a great little stocking stuffer for little treats the recipient can use after the holidays.
When I give gift cards to my kids I always try to wrap it special, so it's like a present to open. The best way to wrap a gift card from restaurants or fast food chains is to ask for a container from that store.
This year our favorite new spot in town is an Orange Leaf frozen yogurt shop. The kids still go during the cold winter days. Perfect gift card idea!
Come on in and see how cute the packaging is!!!
The best way to wrap a gift card is in a container from that store!! Just ask for the container when buying the gift cards. Most stores are great about giving them to you. I always tell them I'm using it for the wrapping and they are usually happy to give them to me for free!
I always add a little bit of color grass to make it festive.
Put the cover on, add a bow and you are all set!!!
Here's another idea I made a long time ago for another post. Dunkin Donuts gift card in the cup with the brown grass to look like there's iced coffee in it. Add a bow and a straw and it's all wrapped. The straw is the perfect thing to tie a gift tag on too!!
EDIT…
Just wrapped one more gift certificate for a Chinese restaurant. So cute packaged in a Christmas "take-out" box! I found the box at Walmart, but they sell these boxes all year long in plain colors for any occaision at craft stores.
Just roll the long certificate and tie with a ribbon.
Hope this was a quick and helpful wrapping idea.
Have a great day,
~Karen~

What an adorable idea! Now I need to scramble around and purchase a few gift cards and ask for their containers so I can "wrap" a few more gifts. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! What great ideas
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas
ReplyDeleteSuper cute idea. We do gift cards for my cousin's kids every year, and this year I filled ball jars with candy and stuck the cards down in. It was pretty cute.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! I've never seen anything like these before, usually gift cards are just put on envelopes. That's why I think they're not so thoughtful, because it seemed like the giver didn't give much effort on it. But these ones are perfect! Sometimes, I find it hard to pick a gift to someone who's so unpredictable. Great post!

Love this idea!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this is a great idea! Can't wait to try it the next time I purchase a gift card for someone!
ReplyDeleteGreeting, Karen,
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea! Thank you for sharing.
Merry Christmas ~Natalie
I love the reusable cup as gift card holder! Would be great when giving Starbucks cards, and they have those nifty little $1 reusable cups, making it frugal "wrapping" as well. Thank you for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Adorable ideas light enough to even hang on the tree!
ReplyDeleteHappy highways,

Yours amazing - how DO you think of all these top tips?!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being a great hostess and I look forward to benefitting from your ingenuity in 2014! Merry Christmas :)
Cute idea! You could stuff those right into the stocking or even in a gift bag if you want to keep it hidden. If you got one one from Lowes, you could buy a small tool to wrap with it. The possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! You're so clever! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever and creative idea! Thanks for sharing this! Wishing you and your family a wonderful Holiday!
ReplyDeleteAwesomely needed info at this moment! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! My DD loves Dunkin' Donuts and I always get her cards for gifts...I'll be wrapping them "a la Karen" in the future. So Cute! Merry Christmas to you and your family...Cheryl
Excellent tips!
ReplyDeleteGreat tip for little gifts. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe dome-top cup is the best idea -- it adds a little peek, a little shine, and features the colorful filler. I love these! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI did this one year with a gift card from Panda Express (a local chinese takeout)....they gave me a box filled with their fortune cookies and I put the gift card inside!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the free Gift Card ideas. Satisfied Vacations to you and your family! :)
