What are some creative ways to wrap a gift card for a child?

When I was five-ish, my grandmother sent me a little tote bag with a bunch of pockets; there was a fiver in one of the pockets, and I thought it incredibly cool. The whole thing, I mean; not just the $5.

So: I'd stuff it in the pocket of something. Just an otherwise plain pocket t-shirt would do; there'd be a "Oh -- auntie sent me a _t-shirt_... Big de -- OH! LOOK!" The four-year-old might prefer it tucked into a little box of some sort of toy; there're some little Lego sets that don't cost much. Best to have something to look at/do on Xmas, I say.

For the 11-yr-old: slip it in a deck of playing cards? You'd have to arrange with somebody to coax a game with said cards pretty quickly, but.

At either age, I would've liked it as a bookmark in a book I wanted, too.

I would enclose it with some small present, so they feel like they've gotten something, regardless of what use the card is put to. The four-year-old, especially, won't understand the concept of gift cards, as far as I can figure. I would enclose it with something like a toy truck, or an action figure, for a boy, and maybe some doll accessories for a girl. For the eleven-year-old, I would try to do the same thing, but something like a pretty or interesting little box would probably be more acceptable to a kid of that age.

For girls, Target has these cute Christmas socks with pockets on the side to stick in a gift card! I got those for my nieces, and sticking old navy gift cards in the pockets.

you could enclose it in a jar with cookies, fudge, or brownies. or for less of a mess you could put the baked goods in the jar and then put the card on top of the jar with a bow, etc.

good luck!

merry christmas

I was going to tell you to use a roll of duct tape on each, but htat would suck at their age, I would enjoy it though.

Find some kind of age and gender appropriate box or container and place the card inside...ex: Jewelery box for the girl...something related to cars for the boy...good luck and Happy Holidays!

find a small box that fits the card in perfectly and wrap it, then get a slightly larger one and wrap that one. get another one and do the same, getting larger and larger everytime. make it like 5 or 6 boxes! that will be really funny, and cute to watch their faces to keep having to open another and another!

Wrap it in green backs! They will appreciate the sentiment.

Everybody loves bubble wrap! :D

put it in box after box after box till you get to this really little box lol
