i wrap mine all different ways. one of my fav's is to take a small gift bag (typically you can get them for about 50 cents - from party city or other "party" stores or from the dollar store. i cut the goofy string handles they have on the bag. then i take ribbon and weave it through one side and out the other. i fill it with paper shred, put the gift card in and then shut with the ribbon making a pretty bow. i use ribbon that has wired edges so i can shape the bow to make it look super nice. i love them like this and so do my clients. i usually add a "to/from" gift eforum.xxx on it and at x-mas i'll add a bell. they look really, really nice.

i am always out and about looking for cute ways to wrap my gift cards. i look for gift card holders they sell in stores (target, jo ann fabrics etc), or other creative things from the dollar store and other places. around the holidays the dollar store sells small boxes. they are 2 for $1 and really nice, sturdy, cute boxes. i fill them with paper shred and tie shut with a bow made from ribbon. pillow boxes are actually really cute depending on how you "tie" them shut. ie - i'll take raffia of different colors, wrap it around and tie in a bow. looks very festive and unique! sometimes it's not so much the "holder" itself but how you decorate it with something extra special. i'll try to take a pic of some of my examples so you can see what i mean! have fun with it! look through lots of catalogs and books to get ideas.

terab,

You might really like these HOLOGRAPHIC EUROTOTE bags from PaperMart if you use samll ones. They are inexpensive in bulk and pretty neat.

You can get 100 for about $12 (25 for $$2.75) /for the small ones. (see the second box)

I just bought 5 dozen of the star shaped gift boxes. When they are gone they are gone!

i found these cute ideas on the internet.

*Roll up the gift certificate and slide it inside a balloon. Inflate the balloon and tie off (certificate will be visible inside balloon), along with a few other balloons. Use the balloon bouquet to decorate a wrapped box. Inside the box is just a (straight sewing) pin to use to pop the balloon to get the gift certificate.


*Carefully open the bottom of a box of Cracker Jacks. Put gift certificate inside plastic bag and place inside with crackerjacks. Reseal bottom. Gift wrap the box.

Mmmmm, those boxes remind me of the old boxes McDonalds pies came in years ago!

I just ordered the holographic eurotote bags - I'm going to use Terab's idea of removing the string and putting a ribbon through to tie. For Christmas, I'm going to put a piece of "snow" blanket in the bag, put the gift card on that, and then sprinkle some sparkly snow stuff over it. I found alot of cool ribbon with snowflakes on it for the outside the bag.
Oh and I love the balloon idea! I think I'll do that for Valentine's...
