Gift cards are an excellent choice for gifting because they ensure that your friends or family members will receive something they truly love. Despite their small size, coming up with creative gift card wrapping ideas can be a bit challenging. While it's convenient to present them in an envelope or a small gift bag, adding a touch of imagination to the presentation can greatly convey your care and thoughtfulness. However, devising enjoyable methods for wrapping a gift card can sometimes be a time-consuming puzzle, especially if you're not sure where to start.

Here's a pro tip: Enhance your gift card by pairing it with a small, thoughtful gift. This not only adds a pleasant surprise but also provides ample opportunities for infusing creativity into your gift card wrapping.

But don't worry! We've carefully curated a selection of creative techniques to make your gift card wrapping a breeze, allowing you to dive straight into the fun!


Reusable Cloth Gift Bag
Add a handcrafted touch to your gift card by using a cloth gift bag. You can even sew it yourself for a more personalized feel.

Once you have your bag, fill it with treats, tissue paper, or other small gifts. To keep the gift card neat, consider placing it in its own small box!


Sticker Gift Card Box
Stickers are a fun way to decorate a gift card box and make it feel more unique. Stickers provide a creative approach to gift card wrapping.

After creating the box, wrap it with a string or bow to give it that genuine gift-like feel!


Printable Themed Gift Bag
Quickly DIY gift card wrapping with these fun, printable fruit gift bags from CustomHK. They're perfect for summer holidays, birthdays, or any themed party!

After creating the gift bag, add the gift card and any other small gifts you want to give to your friend, such as a small note or photo. Fill the bag with fruity snacks or candy to maintain the theme!


Glitter-Dipped Gift Bag
Add a festive touch to your gift card wrapping by incorporating glitter. All you need is a brown paper bag, glue, and glitter to get started.

To create this glitter gift bag, simply cover the area you want to decorate with glue and sprinkle it with your chosen glitter. Once your bag is dry, fill it with shredded craft paper or tissue to stick with the festive theme, then add the gift card for super easy DIY wrapping.


No-Sew Fabric Gift Bag
If sewing isn't your forte, try these no-sew fabric gift bags. Pick out a beautiful fabric from a fabric store or use scrap fabric from home, then cut it into a square. You can even use pinking shears for a fun zigzag edge.

Once done, tape the fabric together with double-sided tape to form a pouch, then place your gift card inside. Add embellishments or other fun accent pieces to really personalize it.


Holiday Gift Card Holder
If you're crafty, you'll want to try this holiday gift card holder made from an acrylic sheet and peel-and-stick floor tiles, perfect for the handyman or handywoman in your life! You can add fun, festive embellishments like Christmas lights or mistletoe.

This solution is a great way to showcase your gift card. Plus, your friend can reuse the holder for other important items, like a bus pass or a membership card.


Gift Card Insert Envelope
These beautiful gift card holders function like mini booklets, with the gift card resting between the "cover."

Feel free to experiment with different papers and prints, especially if you want to wrap your gift card for a holiday celebration. Once you've finished, you can tie a bow between the two holes as a final touch.

Mason Jar Gift Card Holder with Candy Adding candy to a gift card immediately makes it feel like a more thoughtful gift, especially when given in a festive mason jar!

Grab two mason jars of different sizes with the same lid size. Fill the smaller jar with candy and place the gift card in the larger one. Then, glue the two rings together so they keep the jars together when screwed.

Gift-Shaped Gift Card Holder If you still want to give your friend a gift card in a traditional box but aren't sure what size to use, try giving them a gift-shaped gift card holder instead. The best part? This holder even opens like a box!

Find a fun scrapbook paper to get started, cutting the rest of the paper out to look like a present. Once you've glued everything together and made the sliding compartment, add the gift card.

Lunch Sack Gift Bag Who knew you could take an old lunch sack and turn it into a cute gift card wrapping idea? These festive, stamped lunch sacks are an easy way to use what's already in your house to wrap your gift card.

You can stamp the lunch sack directly for a rustic look, or decorate the bags with printed paper for a clean feel.


Paper Bow Gift Card Holder
Wrap your gift card using nothing but paper with this DIY paper bow and gift box tutorial. It looks just like a gift wrapped with wrapping paper, but with a homemade touch.

Unless you are particularly crafty with scissors, you'll want to use a cutting machine and template to create these gift card holders. Once you've cut out your box, add a matching paper bow to make it look like you've really "wrapped" your gift card.


Felt Envelope
Instead of gifting your card in a regular envelope, why not make an envelope using felt? All you need are some sewing supplies and felt to get started!

The back of the envelope is personalized to look like an actual letter in the mail. To add your own mailing address or stamp, simply cut out more felt in the appropriate shape and sew it on for a creative way to wrap a gift card.


Gift Card Wrapped With Another Item
You can also attach a gift card to a smaller gift to make it more exciting.

All you need to create cute gift card wrapping is a small bow or some string to decorate the two gifts. To secure the gift card, tape it to whatever small item you are giving so it doesn't get lost. Then, voila! You have an easy, creative way to wrap your gift card!

Gift Card Wrapped in a DIY Sleeve Instead of using the sleeve that comes with your gift card, make your own using fun patterns and card stock. Though the gift card sleeve may seem hard to make.

First, cut out the paper sleeve. Next, take some thin cardboard or chipboard and glue the sleeve to it so it's sturdy. Once it's dried, you can add a fold-out card or some other note on the back using leftover paper.

Gift cards are an easy, guaranteed way to give someone something they are sure to like. However, to add a nice surprise, consider adding a small gift to go with the gift card, like these quick, last-minute gifts. It not only makes the gift appear more thoughtful but also gives you more ways to be creative with your gift card wrapping!
