Handmade elements add extra value to a gift card presentation, such as recycled paper or fabric scraps to create unique packaging for your present.
Attach a gift certificate from an athletic store directly to a running water bottle or include it with their day pack as an unexpected treat!

Boxes
Make digital gifts more personal by personalizing the experience with a gift card holder of any sort – be it paper wallet, cardboard case or something more elaborate! From local stores offering wallets that perfectly accommodate gift cards to creating one yourself with the recipient’s name or other details.
Dependent upon the value of your gift card, you can combine it with items associated with its retailer to create an enjoyable shopping experience. For instance, giving someone coffee shop gift card could include items like coffee beans and flavor syrups in a mug; book store cards could include cozy blankets and tea to create the ideal reading nook!
Another fun presentation idea is to add extra layers of wrapping paper as layers-within-layers. This creates anticipation as your recipient unwraps each layer to reach the ultimate surprise! You could add decorative items, such as seashells or colored beads, into the wrapping to give it even more character and charm.
If you prefer something simpler, try placing a gift card inside a small bottle or glass container and attaching it with tape or ribbon – an effective approach for grab bags or white elephant gift exchanges at parties! The card can then be easily displayed outside the container.
Bags
One of the more unique ways to give a gift card is by hiding it inside an object – be it a stuffed animal, kitchen item like a frying pan, or coffee mug – this adds a special personal touch that the recipient can keep even after using their gift card.
An imaginative way to present a gift card is by wrapping it in an original pouch made of fabric or knitted sleeves, tailoring its size and material according to the occasion and season. Handmade pouches can easily be customized with patterns or colors that represent the celebration of which they’re intended as part of.
Instead of wrapping digital gift cards individually, why not place them inside an envelope with a personalized message or greeting that stands out? Doing this will set it apart from similar offerings while making the recipient feel special upon opening.
Create a pop-up envelope or booklet to present your gift card in an engaging manner. There are various tutorials online to guide you in making these personalized presentations; these unique packaging solutions are sure to bring smiles on recipients faces!
Check Presenters
Check Presenters are an elegant way to present digital gift cards. Choose a blank one, or purchase pre-scored ones decorated with ribbons and bows for easy binding decorative materials. Add an extra special touch by embossing or engraving their name, date or message onto the front panel; perfect for special events like weddings, holidays and birthdays!
Create a one-of-a-kind gift bag out of fabric to match the theme of your gift card. For instance, athletic store gift cards could be presented in an easily reusable and water resistant runner’s bag with their logo embroidered or screen printed runner bag with water resistance lining. Or create something whimsical by hiding your card within a balloon filled with confetti, candy or glitter for an exciting surprise reveal!
Creative and thoughtful gift wrap designs show recipients just how much thought went into their present. These simple ideas can easily impress their recipient. No matter whether it’s friends and family or clients receiving digital gift cards from your business, unique wrapping ideas help make an impression and increase engagement with digital gift cards.
DIY Add-Ons
Add an object related to the gift card’s recipient to help make it less impersonal and create something memorable long after they spend it. Be it their favorite coffee shop card attached to a coffee mug, or event invitations containing meals attached to new kitchenware – creative wrapping adds a personalized touch that will serve as a lasting reminder.
Create your own envelope out of paper or other material is another creative way to give a gift card the wow factor. Wrapping the card in a draw string muslin bag that doubles as storage for small snacks, toys or additional cards could work just as well; or use the front cover of an inexpensive crossword or word search book as packaging material – any idea will do!
Make their gift memorable by folding their gift card into an origami sculpture that represents something they love, such as clothing or sports equipment. For instance, when gifting apparel enthusiasts with gift cards you could make two tennis racquet cardboard shapes out of cardboard and use crumpled newspaper to simulate realistic thickness to form a receptacle for their card.
Or you could create a gift card bouquet using pipe cleaners to form flowers with cards in their centers – an excellent option for group gifts as well as holiday ornaments!
