Cute Gift Card Holder Ideas
Gift cards are an all-purpose gift, but because what you hand the recipient is just a small card, it may seem insignificant. A cute gift card holder can dress up the present and even be an additional gift in itself if it is a reusable container. Choose a theme that fits the gift or the recipient from a wide array of cute gift card holder ideas.

Pouches and Purses
-
Purchase ready-made pouches in elegant materials, some beaded or with embroidery on the fabric, with the gift card, which makes a cute way to wrap them. A small coin purse, whimsical type of pouch or even a tiny holiday-themed pouch is a cute item to slip a gift card into. Recipients can reuse these pouches to hold other items such as jewelry or change, so they serve as an additional small gift on top of the gift card.
Boxes
-
Decorative boxes are widely available in a variety of styles. Whether you choose printed heavy card board, a fabric-covered box or a cute Chinese food container type box, they can be a fun and cute way to present the gift card. Fill a velvet-covered box with tissue, and nestle the gift card inside. Fill a Chinese food container with shredded paper to surround the gift card. Make the box match the theme of the gift, such as sliding a movie theater gift card into a box of candy.

Stuffed Animals
-
A cute teddy bear can wrap its arms around the gift card, making an adorable presentation. If your recipient collects a particular type of animal such as bunnies or frogs, give the gift card with a stuffed animal that will add to her collection. Attach the gift card to the mouth of a stuffed dog or with a ribbon around the neck of a stuffed cat. A stuffed animal with a zipper pouch can hide the gift card inside and make the gift even more fun.
Tags and Cards
-
There are a number of card type creations that you can purchase or create that are a cute presentation for a gift card. Some are pop-up styles that, when opened, lift the gift card up and out in a creative and cute pop-up theme. Decorative tags with pockets and embellishments are a popular crafty and cute style of gift card holder. Purchase these tags, or make them yourself and personalize them for the recipient. Attach the tag with a ribbon to another type of themed gift, such as a garden center gift card attached on a pocketed tag to a garden trowel.
