Gift cards are my fave. When you choose to give a gift card as a gift, there's never the usual questions floating about concerning the fit, the color, the size. I promise you: it fits, it matches, & it looks good on me. Or you. Or whoever.
I thought it would be fun to share a little gift card wrapping D.I.Y. idea. I wrapped this nifty Simon Malls Gift Card all naked-like. But you could certainly cover the gift card in brown paper (to match the body of the deer) or other gift wrap, to keep the contents more of a mystery to the recipient.

My 14 yr old is the most difficult to shop for. Cute Reindeer holders.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely my wife!!! Because I already bought her anything she could ever want! And she has me?!? ������. Jwick99@gmail.com

Those are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI think it's hardest to shop for both sets of parents. They already have so much stuff and it's hard to pick things, especially when in previous years they get the things we give them for Christmas just before we give it to them.... (I guess that means we knew what they needed, though so that's cool, right?) nadscrow@yahoo.com
My husband is hard to shop for. He is very picky.

My husband is the most difficult person to shop for. He usually buys whatever he wants online so it's hard to surprise him.

My husband is definitely the hardest to shop for, he feels the same about me. Instead of buying gifts for each other, we drop the kids off with my mom and go out of town (just an hour away) for a couple nights.

I'd say my father. He's just so picky!

My son-in-law is the worst to buy a gift that he will love! Your decorated giftcard is so cute! I'll have to make some!
ReplyDeleteMy brother is difficult to shop for!

Love the reindeer! My dad is the most difficult for me to shop for.

I seem to struggle the most finding the perfect gift for my dad. A gift card with a cute holder just might be the ticket. Emily.elliott@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteCute DIY! I'd have to say I'm the most difficult person to shop for because everything I see at the mall, I usually end up picking it out for one of my 5 sisters instead of myself. Needless to say they really like it when I say I'm going shopping :)

That's a cute gift card holder!! If I win I want to give this to my cousin, so she can Christmas shop for her daughter, this will be the gift that keeps on giving!! The hardest person to buy for is my Father in Law. He travels for work, so he's been everywhere and he's a gadget guy that naturally buys himself all the newest tech stuff. So it gets tricky buying him something he'll use or doesn't have already!!!

ReplyDeleteMy husband is definitely the hardest to shop for. He usually just buys what he needs or wants so I have to get creative.

Definitely my husband because he's a huge Star Wars fan and usually buys things when he sees them because if you don't they won't be there at Christmas time.

My dad. He has so much, but I always want to get Him something to do or enjoy instead of stuff.

My MIL. She's always great at getting everyone amazing gifts and I can't afford or manage that, so it's hard to find her something I can afford as well as she will appreciate.
ReplyDeleteOne word: parents! daina_j@yahoo.com
