exciting way to give money/gift vouchers as gifts?

pavlovs_dog

im sure im not the only one who is giving vouchers as a gift this year. much as i loathe to do so, some people you just cannot buy for.

we've treated B&SIL to £30 of leisure vouchers, so they can take themselves out for the day/for a meal. they dont have much money spare after paying their outgoings, so we thought it would be nice for them to have a night out.

but how to present something which looks soo boring as an exciting and memorable gift?

any ideas greatfully received

not sure if this is what you mean, but I once had a £20 in a box full of pinecones - had no idea it was cash coz it was wrapped up & a nice shape & the pinecones made it rattle & sound exciting :>))

I am buying a few people vouchers this year, but putting them in a mini hamper type thing with a few other inexpensive items, like chocolates, mini bottles of wine, etc.

in a christmas cracker?

you can purchase them from several places, including the leisure vouchers website but i actually traded in my pigsback points (if you are not familiar with pigsback then this thread may be of interest to you)

I read a really good idea some where , can't remember , but basically you tie or attach vouchers to something similar . Ie a eurostar ticket wrapped round a mini eiffel tower, or a spa break wrapped around a little mask . Just something cheap and cheerful - i have done it lots and people always love their extra gift!

PLUS it can be reused by the recipient- i think shes planning to use it at christmas
