Christmas Gift Card Ideas

If you're absolutely out of time, a Christmas gift card is a fast and easy solution to your last minute Christmas shopping needs.

Gift cards are nice on their own, but consider making them a bit more fun to open by putting it inside of a brain teasing maze puzzle or tied to a fun Christmas ornament. That way, they still have something to open!
