While a book should never be judged by its cover, you must admit that a well-packaged book gets the most attention. The same applies to gift cards. Wrap or deliver it well enough, and you will create a core memory in the recipient’s mind.
While it is essential to ensure the intentions are right, it will be good to put in a bit of effort to deliver that gift card you are about to send cleverly.
Here are six clever ways to wrap a gift card before delivering it to significantly impact it.
1. Wrap it up in a box of chocolates or cookies
As long as it’s something edible, rest assured that your recipient will open it with glee. Nothing screams double delight like a gift card in a box of chocolate or cookies. Especially if you are delivering this gift card to someone with a sweet tooth, adding the gift card to a box of chocolates is a clever way to package it before delivery. A note, too, will add a more significant impact.
2. Write the amount on the inside of an old book and place the card between the pages
Want to deliver a gift card to a bookworm or someone who particularly enjoys reading hardcovers? This ultimate move will endear you to them and add a spice of drama to the delivery of your gift card. You can also keep it simple by delivering the book with footnotes leading them to the gift card. The recipient will appreciate this, and your gift will pack a more significant punch than if you deliver it bare.
3. Slip it under their pillow with a note saying, “I love you” or “Thank you.”
This clever method of delivering a gift card works best if you live in the same apartment as the person. Picture them waking up in the morning to make their bed and, boom, a gift card and a nice note. This works for romantic couples or people who share strong bonds. A thoughtful, intimate, yet simple gesture that will show that you genuinely thought of this gift and made an effort to create a lasting impression.
4. Place it behind the bathroom mirror so they can find it when brushing their teeth in the morning (or before bed at night)
This will work if you have access to their bathroom. Placing the gift card immediately behind the bathroom mirror is tricky because what if they need to pay attention?
To make this work, you have to use a bright envelope that they will notice. Perhaps, scented with their favourite perfume. If you are doing this to a meticulous person, move things around, so they see something is off. This way, they will quickly notice the gift and voila! Their day will be made.
5. Strategically place sticky notes in their surroundings, mapping out how they can reach their surprise.
Nothing screams clever like a bit of drama. This may be the way to go if you plan to send a gift card to your colleague in the office or someone in the professional space.
Since sticky notes are used to deliver critical messages or keep specific tasks top of mind, they will be hard to miss.
6. Have it delivered with a saxophonist, flowers, some chocolate and money cake
This may seem overboard, but it is worth it if you can do it and the recipient loves drama. It is a clever way to deliver a gift card and also reveal whatever hidden intentions you have towards them. Yes, we know. No one makes an effort to provide a gift card with extra pizazz without an agenda. It’s alright too. Lol.
Conclusion
The effort to make it special is what gives the gift meaning, irrespective of the price tag. Cleverly delivering your gift card will guarantee that the message is conveyed.
The best part is that they get to receive a gift card they can either spend on whatever they want or trade at a very good rate on Cardtonic.
So which of these methods will you employ?
