Best Gift Card Presentation

Gift Card Balloonsfrom Elizabeth

I HATE giving gift cards to people! It just seems impersonal and too simple—but they are a necessary evil, and you have to purchase them sometimes.

My boyfriend recently had a birthday and this year didn’t ask for anything, so I had the free range to spoil him. Since I know him best, I knew exactly what to get him and, yes, it did include some gift cards—Paragon Theaters, Chick-Fil-A, and Wawa.

Then came my sticky situation: I had all these boring gift cards that I wanted to add to his other gifts, but I wanted to do something different with them. Of course, Pinterest was my next stop!

I found a fun way to give gift cards. There were some great ideas, but I went with BALLOONS. Yes, I very carefully put my three gift cards in three balloons.

Just a tip: I tried it with helium at Party City and the balloons popped, so maybe don’t let them blow the balloons up all the way or just try blowing them up yourself at home.

I was able to squeeze them in—watching my corners—and blew them up myself. Then I made a little balloon bouquet to be added to his insulated cooler with all his other gifts. After he opened all of his gifts, I handed him a balloon and said “Pop it!” The look on his face was priceless and, adding to the fun, his nieces and nephew were ready to help him. After popping the balloon, they’d jump up with gift card in hand, shouting where it was from!

It made something so simple now so fun that I had to share with everyone else.
