What is the best way to wrap a gift certificate to make it look like an interesting present?

Question

I've bought a gift certificate as a Xmas present, but don't know how to wrap it up to make it look nice and xmassy. it's an A4 sheet of paper. Any ideas?

Answer 1

But it in an oddly shaped box.

Answer 2

Well, presentation to me is the best part of christmas. I love really fancy bows and such. If you can't come up with anything just wrap in tissue paper and make a great bow out of nice ribbon. I received a nice ornament this way yesterday and while I love the ornament, I was just excited about how pretty the bow was and the extra special effort put into it.

Answer 3

first wrap the certificate in wrapping paper just normally then put it in a box and wrap that box then just keep making the boxes bigger and wrapping each one as you go making a kind of pass the parcel present - this way the person doesnt know where the boxes end and is kept guessing for longer :)

Answer 4

Attach it to something, put a bow around it, do the box in a box in a box thing, buy a gift card holder, just plain wrap it...Lots of stuff!

Answer 5

I got my little sister a gift card to her favorite clothing store.
It came in a small envelope.

I wrapped the envelope in an old grocery bag (i keep bags).
Wrapped that in another bag.
And another.
And another.

Wrapped it in probably 30 grocery bags making it HUGE compared to the original size of the card.

I wrapped it just enough so that when I put it in a shoe box, it wouldn't move. (My little sister likes to shake her presents to try and figure them out.)

Now it looks like I got her shoes or clothes! ha!

Answer 6

Put it in a shirt box before you wrap it.
Actually, any box will do, because it won't look like a flat sheet of paper.

Answer 7

Place it in between two bricks and tape them together abd then wrap them up as normal

The recipient will wonder what it is and never guess

Alternating to bricks a couple of pieces of timber will be a bit lighter

Answer 8

To expand on the helium balloon idea, you can use a clear balloon and have them roll the certificate up to fit into the balloon with Christmas colored confetti, etc.
Merry Christmas!

Answer 9

Place it in a folder!
or you could roll it up like a scroll.But if you do this be care-full it can misshape the paper.
Put it in a box!.
are a few I'm sure other will have some other idea's.

Answer 10

Attach it to a helium filled balloon and put it in a big box, so that when the lid is removed the balloon and certificate float up. Merry Christmas!

Answer 11

put it in a huge box, and wrap it complete with a bow. or wrap it 50 times so it looks like a shirt or sumthin.
