Creative Ways to give Gift Vouchers

Hi, at the request of my very grown up nieces (9 and 7) they want vouchers to go and buy clothes - however want to give them to them in a nice way - not just an envelope....any ideas?

    Have a look at the retro sweetie box that someone done earlier this year or last year. They put in a selection of sweets and rolled a £10 note in with them.
    Or you could do the safe keeping jar, see gifts in a jar thread for that idea?

    Hope this helps

  • You could buy them each a purse from primark or claire's accessories for a couple of quid, and put the vouchers in them. Or you could get one of those big bars of galaxy chocolate and take off the paper wrapping but not the foil. Print a label saying "Xmas chocolate - unwrap carefully, there may be a golden ticket inside" or something like that, and slide the voucher between the paper label and the foil. And if you want to do it in a way which doesn't involve buying anything else - how about you write some clues and do a little treature hunt? you could get vouchers in small denominations like a few pounds each so that they can find little clusters of them in different places.

    HTH!
  • What about getting them a nice shopping bag that they can put all their shopping in when they go get thier clothes??

    Tesco's do some nice Cath Kitson ones for £3.50, you could stuff the bag and Wrap it up and use the voucher to make a tag?

    HTH

    Or borrow a book on origami at the library :) There are some cool envelopes you can do for giving money or giftvouchers :)

    Hi - make a sock monkey, stitch velcro on his hands so that he can clutch the voucher envelope, or sit a little basket between his legs and put the voucher and some little bath oil balls in and some shredded tissue then wrap in cello with a ribbon and bow.

    You could get a pretty keepsake box thats shallow, and put the vouchers inside on tissue paper. Wrap the box with some lovely ribbon and a big bow. Make them look extra special :)

    My daughter saw an idea earlier if you give money to roll it up and put it inside a balloon,then blow the balloon up. Should be able to do the same with vouchers so long as they are not the credit card type, then they have the fun of popping the balloon to get to the goodies. HTH.
