The Best, Last-Minute Gifts

As much as I try to stay on top of things during the holidays, I always find myself in need of some simple last-minute gifts. What could be easier than something you don’t even have to leave the house to purchase?

Depending on the person, some of my favorite go-to presents are gift subscriptions (who wouldn't love an entire year of inspiration?) and e-gift certificates. Even I have to admit it's sometimes better to let them choose for themselves.

A subscription that comes with its own printable gift card has become a staple present for me to give. (Keep reading for a quick easy idea on how to package your gift announcement). Not only do I get to share one of my hobbies and something inspirational with the recipient, but I love that they’ll continue to have something special to open in the mail each time a new issue arrives.

With postal carriers trying to keep up during the busy holiday season, it can be a major challenge to make sure your gifts arrive on time. If you purchased a gift subscription from Stampington & Company and are worried that your gift card will not make it to them in the mail by Christmas, we offer printable gift announcement cards, so you can order right up until December 25th and still get it under the tree.

If you’re like me and seldom give gifts without adding a personal, handmade touch to its wrapping, here is a quick and easy package idea for your printable gift announcement cards to make them extra special.

Simple Packaging Idea

Pick out a nice box (I used a basic Kraft box that did not need to be covered with wrapping paper) that is big enough to fit the gift card. The standard gift announcement card size is 4.25 x 6”; however, you can adjust its size to fit your needs when you print it.
Line the box with fabric.
Tuck the gift card inside along with a personal, handwritten note.
Tie a simple, yet beautiful ribbon around the box to complete this elegant, paired down look.
