For Christmas this year, the Teen asked
for gift cards...JUST gift cards. Deep sigh...gone are the days of last-minute
assembling bikes and Hot Wheels. And while gift cards are great for
him and easy for us, opening them on Christmas Day is
somewhat...BORING, at least for those of us who are watching. So
here are
10 Creative Ways To Wrap Those Gift
Cards

| How CAN you wrap those gift cards? |
1. Put the card in a box and
wrap that in a larger box, etc. Note, however, that this has been so
overdone, it yield almost no surprise factor. Still, if you think
your recipient would like it, go for it.
2. Place the card between the paws
of a stuffed animal, rubber band the animal's paws together, and then
wrap the animal.
3. Wrap the card inside a pair of
socks, hat, or gloves.
4. Place the card inside the box of
a common object (one of Junior's is inside an Irish Spring soap box)
and then wrap it up.
5. Sandwich the card between two
chocolate bars.

6. Frame the card in a Dollar Store
picture frame.
7. Place the card in a Ziploc bag
then put that bag in another Ziploc bag filled with Play Doh, rice,
or something squishy. Then put that bag in a box and wrap it. This
will completely confuse the recipient.
8. Stuff a balloon with the gift
card and some confetti. Blow up the balloon, tie it with ribbons and a “pop me”
label. Attach a safety pin to the balloon.
9. Tape the gift card to some fake
money and place it in a Dollar Store purse or wallet. Add a bow.
And the one I used this year: Place
the gift card between two large, flat rocks. Wrap the rocks. I
can't wait to see the confusion on Junior's face when he opens his
present!
