When it comes to easy, convenient and simple gifts for everyone on your list, the best solution is a gift card. They are generally a great one-size-fits-all item that has ample versatility and value.
There are countless ways to add more flair and creativity to gift cards, making them much more interesting and fun to receive. The best ways to make gift cards extra special is to invest in the wrapping and presentation, which tells the receiver that plenty of thought has been put into them. Here are some ideas for inspiration:
- Gift card in a can
- Ice gift card
- Framing
- Card case
- Knitted card holder
Gift Card In A Can
Chances are there’s someone in your family that loves pranks and practical jokes. When this is the targeted recipient of a gift card, why not present them with the card in a funny way? Simply put your gift card in a clean empty can that can be opened on both ends. After doing so, seal each side with industrial-strength glue, let the glue dry and watch the recipient attempt to open the can. You can even come up with a humorous label to put on the can.
Ice Gift Card
Also ideal for giving the pranksters in your family or among your friends a taste of their own medicine, this is a simple , yet entertaining way to present them with a gift card. You’ll need to get your hands on a plastic mold or container that’s the same size as the gift card. Then, float the gift card in water and place it in the freezer. Keep the card frozen until it’s time to gift it and enjoy watching the recipient try to get to the gift. You can also present the card in a box with sawdust and an ice pick.
Framing
Despite sounding too simple or not creative enough, don’t forget the fact that investing in a nice and premium-looking, artsy frame for the gift card actually represents two separate gifts as one. A frame from you will always be appreciated, especially if the recipient is someone who loves to hang photos of loved ones around the house.
Card Case
A card case is one of those things you might find unnecessary to own. But, an elegantly designed card case made from leather, high-grade stainless steel or other premium materials speaks volumes about the owner. Simply pick a nice business card case and fit a perfectly sized gift card inside. Not only will the recipient use the card case throughout the year, they’ll also be able to fit other business or credit cards into it, adding further value to your gift.
Knitted Card Holder
If reusing your gift is what you’d like to see happen, then take the time to whip up a creative knitted gift card holder. If the recipient is a crafter, they will appreciate your effort without a doubt and will also have a convenient holder to reuse for credit or business cards in the future.
