11 Creative Ways to Wrap Gift Cards

Gift cards make great practical gifts, but they can seem a bit impersonal if not presented in the right way. Take a look at some ideas from Frugal Village for wrapping gift cards in inexpensive yet impressive ways:

  1. Theme It: for example, if you get a movie gift card for someone, couple it with a box of candy and or popcorn (etc.) in a gift basket.
  2. Frame It: you can either use a cheap frame and decorate it yourself or you can get a bit more creative. Try your hand at making a frame out of a CD case, for example.
  3. Wrapped in Clothing: stuff a gift card into an inexpensive article of clothing, like a hat, some gloves, or some cute holiday socks.
  4. Book, Magazine or Calendar: simply use a binder clip to attach a gift card to a cheap book, calendar or magazine as a gift. You could even just use the gift card as a bookmark in any of these.
  5. In a Tin, Jar or Box: use an Altoids mint tin, for example. Put some shredded tissue paper in the tin and place the gift card on top for a simple but cute presentation.
