8 Creative Ways to Wrap Your Gift Cards

Make gift card giving a little more exciting with these simple wrapping tricks.

Gift cards can be the perfect gift for both the gift-giver and the recipient. They’re easy to purchase, they allow the giftee to choose something that they really want, and they don’t leave you stressing about little things like what your recipient's favourite colour is.

However, when it comes to giving gift cards, the experience can be a little mundane. Gift cards are often overlooked when it comes to wrapping presents. Most of the time they’re placed inside of a handwritten card and then slipped into an envelope. While that is a perfectly acceptable way to give your gift cards, we want to show you a few different methods that will spruce up your gift card presentation.

Here are some fun and creative ways to elevate the experience of receiving a gift card, and make the wrapping process a little more exciting for you too!
