Holiday Gift Cards

This gift card design wishes the receiver the "happiest holidays," making it a perfect design for the season. There are many benefits to changing your gift card designs to match the season, which you can read about in this blog. Incorporating timely imagery in your gift card design will help make your cards stand out to consumers doing their holiday shopping. 

Wood Gift Cards

Replicate the look of wood in your gift card design like Faux Me did in this amazing design. Faux wood is all the rage; you can find it in flooring, blinds, cars, and yes, gift cards. By using a faux wood design, you help set your gift cards apart from the competition; after all, most gift cards have a plastic look. Being unique is a good thing, and with this gift card design, your gift cards will certainly be unique.

Be Merry Gift Cards

This gift card design is adorable and perfect for the holidays! This design features a cute cartoon reindeer wrapped in holiday lights. Including cute characters in your gift card design can help your gift cards appeal to children. If you can create a gift card design that kids love, they'll be more likely to ask for it on their wish list. It's important to remember the kind of people receiving your gift cards; if you run a hardware store, kids probably aren't asking for a gift card to your business. Your intended audience should influence your gift card design.

Colorful Gift Cards

While red, green, and white are commonly associated with the holidays, you can switch things up and feature a rainbow of colors. Boutique Chocosina used their colorful gift card design to exude the joy of their candy shop. On top of being fun, this gift card design is very eye-catching.

Christmas Gift Cards

Give your customers the option of wishing their loved ones a Merry Christmas with this seasonal gift card design. While being inclusive in your gift card design is always a good choice, having gift card designs for specific holidays is excellent too. Just remember, if you choose a specific design like this, you might be missing out on sales from customers who don't celebrate Christmas. For that reason, having multiple gift card design options available is for the best.

Clear Gift Cards

Another way to elevate your gift cards and distinguish them from others is to use our clear feature. Clear gift cards create a bold look that many of your customers haven't seen before, adding to the novelty factor and further encouraging impulse purchases. Thunder Blades Roller Rink used gift card backers to help their clear gift cards pop; we love that we can see their roller skate designs through the card. Very unique!

Snowy Gift Card Design

A subtler way to make your gift cards perfect for the holiday is to use generic holiday imagery. Nickelodeon Theatres did that to perfection on their gift card design with the snowy trees and falling snowflakes. The colors don't scream "holidays," but they bring some brightness to the snowy setting.

Put a Bow on your Holiday Gift Card Design

Your gift card will probably be given as a gift; that's how gift cards work. What do you commonly find on gifts? Bows. Discover Goodwill put a bow on their gift card design to play on the gift theme. Try decorating your gift card design with red or green bows just to add a little bit more holiday flavor to your design.

Gift Cards with Foil Stamping

Wonderful World used ornaments hanging from tree branches to create a creative holiday design. Adding to their creativity, they used foil stamping to write "Merry Christmas." If you're unfamiliar, foil can be used to make your gift card shimmer and shine in the light. Foil can come in all different colors and are a great way to make your cards stand out in a significant way.
