Gift cards are a booming business, and have been for quite some time. For friends and family who you just aren’t sure what to buy, they make an ideal present. They are given for all sorts of occasions too. Unfortunately, they usually get put inside a card, or even just handed to someone with no other adornments. OK, I admit it, I am guilty of that sometimes.
That is why when I saw this plastic canvas gift card holder pattern book, I knew I had to talk about it.
These cute projects are the perfect way to make a gift card extra special, and they are a way to let the recipient know just how much they mean to you. I know I would love to get a gift card in one of them.
You will find 14 patterns included in this pattern book from Annie’s. There is a design for just about every occasion including, but not limited to:
- Christmas
- Mother’s Day
- Birthday
- Congratulations
- Thank You
- Teacher Gift
- Baby Gift
- Graduation
Using 7-count plastic canvas, these patterns are easy to follow and are sure to make the presentation of a gift card that much more special. Why not make all of them and keep them tucked away for that moment when you need a last-minute gift?
I am a big fan of gift cards, I know lots of people find them impersonal but being able to purchase what YOU need or what YOU want is far more logical than receiving random gifts and stocking fillers that you may not use. Especially with all these Netflix programs telling us to downsize, declutter and or course Konmarie everything.
The only disappointing thing with gift cards is not being able to shop for items, if you are like me and enjoying shopping for special gifts then maybe consider shopping for smaller stocking fillers or fun ways to wrap or gift the gift cards. You can present or gift a gift card in a fun and special way too.
One year I added the gift cards to some pretty wide mouthed water bottles that have been filled with little trinkets. We also featured this Giftcard Christmas tree idea on the blog here.
