Creative Gift Card Presentation Ideas

1. Unique Ways to Present Gift Cards

– Hide the gift card within another gift item. This can be a small stuffed animal, a pretty jewelry box, a unique picture frame, or any small item that can be hollowed out or has a small pocket. – Purchase a greeting card with a money holder. Affix the gift card inside the money holder. Write a personal message in the card to the recipient about why you chose the particular store or restaurant for the gift card. This adds a personal touch and can turn a simple card into a keepsake.

Some people believe that gift cards are an impersonal gift, but it is the rare individual who turns one down. The convenience they offer the recipient cannot be denied. In this circumstance, the phrase “it’s the thought that counts” means exactly that; the giver put thought into what store the recipient would most prefer a gift card from. So how do you add thought and a personal touch to a gift card? There are, in fact, many ways to wrap or package a gift card to make it a special and memorable gift. Here are just a few ideas:

2. DIY Gift Card Holders

As always, the first step is to match up the theme to the event or card, and bulk or style of recipient. We’ll provide a few examples so you get the hang of it! If it’s for a cooking-loving friend, try using a free utensil you have received in a promotion. For example, we got a free grater and tied some orange ribbon around it from the recipient’s favourite citrus. Then just attach the gift card with the ribbon and voila! Great free present! This can apply to a variety of people. The school teacher? Try tying it to a free pack of chalk with a tag saying “For a rainy day”. The friend saving for a new car? Try attaching it to a car safety brochure with a tag saying “It’s never too late”. You get the idea!

It is always more fun to give as well as to receive! But giving can be tough when you are looking for something unordinary to give. Have you ever considered a gift card to a friend’s favourite store, but thought it looked a little plain to give as a present? Well, this post is for you! Today we’ll show you some exceptional and creative ways to package a gift card and still make a special personalised gift.

3. Themed Gift Card Presentation Ideas

2. BBQ theme – Who doesn’t like a good cookout? A BBQ-themed gift card is great because BBQ is a fun social event and your recipient will want to use that gift card when they know they can invite you over! A good way to present it is a gift bag with all of the items they will need to remember to get BBQ items and have a great night. Include some plastic cutlery and a checkered tablecloth for effect.

1. Birthday theme – Generally, a birthday-themed gift card will focus on one thing and that is cake. But not just a plain old cake, what that card is meant to do is get the person something they wouldn’t normally buy themselves, so gourmet chocolates or imported wine. Either way, a birthday theme is a great excuse to give someone a sweet treat.

A themed presentation could be anything from a few well-placed accoutrements in a small token that represents the gift card, to a handmade craft to a high-concept involved production. Usually, the token or presentation will reflect the gift, such as a beach towel and sandals tied in a ribbon to a gift card for a day trip to the beach, to a paper mache treasure chest housing a gift card to a jewelry store. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Themed gift card presentations are particularly fun to create and offer a fun way to present a less than personal but highly practical gift. They are also a great way to celebrate an occasion or holiday that is important to the recipient. It is also a good way to show the recipient that they are appreciated and their interests and feelings are important to you. Creating a themed gift card is also a great way to communicate to the recipient, and if you’re going to give a gift card, you might as well do it well.

4. Personalized Gift Card Presentation Ideas

There are two kinds of personalized gift cards to make a presentation interesting and special. First, personalized store-bought cards. You can create a personalized store-bought card by writing your message in the store-bought card itself. For this option, you don’t necessarily have to buy the cards specifically for this person. However, if you happen to come across a card that you just know will have special meaning for this person, by all means, buy it and personalize it with a heartfelt handwritten message. The second option is to create your own gift card from scratch or by using a template, these are often referred to as printables. You can write a heartfelt personalized message, make the person a booklet of gift certificates for things you know they will appreciate and create a card to present them. You can give them anything from a massage, housecleaning, cooking a hot meal, babysitting, running errands, a movie night, a day or night out without the kids, to doing a fun activity together. The presentation of a personalized card should contain a special message explaining why you chose or created that particular card for that person and how much they mean to you. This is a great opportunity to tell them just why they are so special to you and what you value about your friendship/relationship with them. You can present this in a number of ways such as giving it with a small gift, by itself in an envelope, attaching it to a related gift item, or making it the cover page of a booklet of gift certificates. Remember that when presenting any gift, it’s important to maintain good eye contact, giving a warm smile and hug, and saying thank you. These things will reinforce to the person that what they mean a lot to you and make the experience more special for both of you.

5. Interactive Gift Card Presentation Ideas

Glue five wrapped boxes together with a ribbon connecting each one. Each box can contain a simple hint, a piece of the puzzle, or the actual gift card. The recipient must reach into the first box in order to retrieve the hint or next box. They continue this process until they reach the last and final gift card box. At this time they will realize that they have had to solve a riddle in order to obtain a gift. It adds more excitement and takes longer for the giftee to reach the final gift. It’s a win-win situation for the gift giver! Little notes or cards are a very cheap but creative way to give a gift card. Create a treasure hunt. X marks the spot where the gift card is fastened to the ground. Give clever clues to guide the recipient to the hidden gift. It will take some time, but remember slow and steady wins the race. This is a very short and creative way to give a gift card to someone. These gifts will not take much time. Try hiding the gift card in static grass and give it to someone who has a way of getting shocked by plastic objects. The static grass is not an issue, I’m truly sorry but I’ve seen too many people try to throw a plastic cup at someone to get it to stick. Don’t get it? If you have ever walked across a carpeted floor with your socks on and touched a piece of metal or someone. OUCH. It’s probably not the most thought out way of hiding a card, but will result in a laugh and definitely surprise them.
