Have you ever had the dilemma of what to buy for someone? I sure have. Purchasing a gift card seems to take a lot of stress off for me. The only problem I have with purchasing a gift card is that it seems to lack the personal touch I want. Well, I’ve solved that problem for myself. I put my efforts into making a gift card holder instead of searching for the perfect gift. My biggest challenge is with the type of gift card holder to make, and what theme or style I want to create. I try to think of the personality of the person or their hobbies or passions when I sit down to create the card. For example, my granddaughter who just had a birthday loves sports, but she’s not girly. In her case I would make a card holder that might have an outdoors theme, sports theme, animal theme, even a general theme, but definitely, not girly! Which style do I choose to make???? Ha!
This gift card holder is for one of my sons. He is a true outdoorsmen. He loves hunting and fishing and riding motorbikes and four wheelers. With this card I can put any type of gift card inside. It’s true to his passion and just right for letting him know that I am thinking of him on his birthday.
