How to wrap gift certificates

If you thought gift certificates and gift cards were boring and impersonal, think again. They can be so much more than that, especially when you wrap gift certificates the MOO way. We can bring them to life for your brand and beyond…

How to choose a gift certificate 

Decisions, decisions. Do you opt for Business Cards or Postcards? Business Cards lend themselves to gift cards, and they’re easy to pop into a Greetings Card. Not only that, they’re perfect for wallets, purses, or keeping on hand when your recipient comes to redeem, either in-store or online. However Postcards hold their own, too. Their mere size makes them stand out, giving them that ‘wow’ factor for your recipient. A benefit of that their size is that they’re harder to lose, post-festive season amongst all the gifts and goodies (you know the feeling). It goes without saying: if you need a bigger canvas for your message, Postcards might be for you.  

How to customise a gift certificate 

Now the jolly part: how to wrap gift certificates, because it is the title of this blog piece (and let’s be honest, what you came for). Make the unwrapping all part of the experience. Gold or Silver Envelopes are a great way to add dazzling detail and keep the surprise hidden. Alternatively, you can combine your gift card or certificate with a custom Greeting Card and Envelope. The recipient will feel especially festive with a warm-hearted message or season’s greetings. The mystery element of ‘what’s in the envelope’ will also create a surprise and delight moment upon opening. If you want to up the customised element, include a Notecard for a short but sweet message. Finally, the cherry on top – Stickers. Never underestimate the power of them. Add them as a final branded flourish to seal your envelopes or pop a set of them inside as an extra surprise.         

What to pair with a gift certificate 

If you really want to make it special why not pair your gift certificate or gift card with a custom gift? Sometimes you just want to up the thoughtfulness and surprise. Think gifts that’ll be used everyday, not thrown away by your recipient after the novelty wears off. Water Bottles are ideal, as they’re carried here, there and everywhere (keeping hydrated is important) so your brand gets seen. Your recipient will have the bonus of having a tangible gift for now and a gift card or certificate for later use. If you really want to dial up the surprise element, pair it with a Notebook. Slot your gift card inside and when your recipient turns their first page, they’ll be greeted with an extra surprise.
