Tickets for presents - how to wrap?

This year, in my very pregnant state, I decided to avoid the high st and buy everyone tickets for shows, concerts or hotel accomodation. In one or two cases I actually have the tickets, but for most, all I have is a one or two line confirmation email. So, I am hoping that some of you creative types could give me some inspiration as to how to deliver these in a fun/special way on Christmas day?!

Gifts are:
  • Peter Kay tickets
  • Derren Brown tickets
  • Pink Floyd Laser Show tickets
  • Hotel in Harrogate
  • Camping show tickets/hotel in Glasgow
Any ideas much appreciated!

  • Can you make a tent-shaped box for the camping show ones? I would love a challenge like that! Using shiny cardboard, or wrapping paper.
    Pink Floyd show- maybe in a mock-up of the Dark Side of the Moon CD box (or indeed the real one)?

    A box, inside a bigger box, inside a bigger box...etc... ?

    The gold envelope is a great idea where would they sell the gold envelopes, I have tickets to give out also and did not want to just hand them over like the OP says:D or more than that they are just an email at the moment:rotfl:

    I have booked hubbie on a cooking course (he loves cooking) for a sat night in January. I have done a A4 paper with one side saying Merry Christmas I owe you a night of babysitting on XXXXX pto and on the other side it is the details of the course. I got this laminated and put at the bottom of a ankle boot shoebox with shredded paper and a bar of chocolate on top so he thinks its only the chocolate he is getting.

    The way I would do it would be to make a card for each individual ticket with a picture of the person/group/place they are going to on the front - you could get the pictures from the internet.

    99p store has a pack of 16 cards with robins/berries on the front and they have gold envelopes. :D Ive got my nan and sister magazine subscriptions but not got the details yet so am wondering how to give them to them. I was thinking of printing out a voucher but my printer wont work. :rolleyes: I was going to make my own and attach it to the magazine they've got a subscription for but my sister will probably have bought it already this month. One of those fake maagazine covers would be great if i could mock one up with her face on but again my printers broken. :rolleyes:

    thanks for that, where did you get the subscriptions from? Just googled for womans own and woman and thought £39 was a lot of money so left it, it was supposed to be £50 but even so for that money I couldn't justify the initial outlay and it was going to be a present from my boys that I organize but they can't afford that cost either:rolleyes:
