Chances are, right this minute, you know someone who is graduating in a few short weeks---high school, college, even middle school or kindergarten. There is nothing more special than a beautiful, customized card to accompany a gift package or "dress" up a gift card. Here are some graduation cards that can be adapted for the graduate's school (or favorite) colors. They can be designed with a pre-printed sentiment, or be left blank for your own note of congratulations. Most have dimensional features (cap, collar, tassel, etc) and can be made with a pocket to hold a gift card.
Another unique way to give is with a cardfolio. If you have a college student
going away to college, or if a group wants to give a gift, this is the perfect
answer. This little jewel will hold 3 gift cards or 6 to 9 photos. It can be
adapted to hold more gift cards.
This is also a great gift from a group for
newlyweds or parents-to-be. If your office wants to give a co-worker a wedding
or baby gift, get one of these and put gift cards to places where they have a
bridal or baby registry.
This would also be a lovely way for a Sunday School
class, mission group, neighborhood, co-workers to give a family whose home has
been lost in a fire--fill it with gift cards to restock the pantry, clothes
closet, or other living expenses.
Another loving gift, when a friend has a
family member in the hospital for an extended length of time and the family is
having to stay out of town in a motel or just sitting in a hospital, away from
their hometown....eating out can not only be inconvenient, but expensive. A
cardfolio with fast food, grocer, or restaurant gift cards is a very thoughtful,
and useful gift!
For a bridal gift, thank you to bridal attendants, Mother's
Day, teacher thank you, birthday, or other special time---a set of gift cards
for a Spa Day would be welcome! Anniversaries would be a great time for a Dinner
and a Movie theme with restaurant cards and theatre cards! For that special guy
in your life, a wonderful birthday or Father's Day gift would be gift cards for
sporting goods stores, hardware stores, motorcycle shop, menswear shops. And
for that kid in your life---how about toy/game store gift cards, Xbox Live,
iTunes, favorite clothing store, or movie/concert/amusement park tickets?
The
possibilities are limitless! The cardfolios can be decorated to fit any theme,
occasion, or personality. Also, this is a great way to give grandparents a set
of school pictures, instead of just stuffing them loosely into a greeting card
or envelope. Put multiple shots of each of your children for Grandma and Grandpa
to enjoy and share! Such a versatile little piece of stationery!
