1. Blow it up

If you’re the family joker and need to keep that rep up, hiding your gift code in a balloon is the way to go! If you’re feeling really mischievous, you can even add confetti, candy or glitter for the ultimate surprise.

Get your code into a balloon in 5 simple steps

1. Roll up your gift card and place it in the empty balloon
2. Put glitter or confetti inside the balloon, you could use a tiny funnel for this
3. Inflate the balloon carefully, without letting the contents fall out (watch out for that glitter!)
4. Use a knot to close the balloon and, if you want, decorate with a nice ribbon
5. You can write or draw something fun on the balloon with a marker, but watch out for sharp tips.

3. Put it in a jar

Everyone has a glass jar with a lid at home, right? If not, eat some peas and carrots or beans today, and you're good to go tomorrow. A gift card or rolled up note in a nicely decorated glass jar gives off a very festive look. Almost like a cute snow globe!

5. Message in a bottle

A message in a bottle is a really mysterious way to give a gift card. A small glass bottle or tube may be a bit harder to find, but this would also work well with an empty wine or beer bottle. Write the code on fancy paper for a super original gift with a romantic touch. You can even go for a pirate theme and soak the paper in coffee and burn the edges so it looks like a treasure map!

6. DIY your own gift box

Did you know, you can easily fold your own gift box? There are many templates available online to print out a DIY gift box yourself. Simply cut it out, fold it as shown and glue the dotted lines to get a perfectly sized box that fits your (digital) code like a glove. Decorate the present with fun stickers, glitter pens, ribbons and draw or write a nice message on it.

7. Give your toilet rolls a second life

Digital codes as a gift are already super sustainable. But how cool is it to make your gift packaging environmentally conscious as well! If you flatten the toilet roll a bit, and fold the ends together, you can easily fit a small gift in there. Like a gift card code, for example! Now all you need to do is decorate your gift according to taste

8. A picture says more than 1000 words

Maybe you have a framed photo of an ex lover or a picture that doesn’t do you justice that you would like to get rid of. Take it out, and you’ve got a great way to wrap your gift card! Frame the gift card in the picture frame, together with a nice personal message or a photo of you and the recipient. You can also give several gift codes at once and put them together in a larger frame, or one of those multi-picture frames.
