When I came across this amazing gift card idea by Kelly Maree, I knew I had to share it with you. Such a fun way to give gift cards and easy too. You don’t actually need any crafting skills for this little money giving project.
Teenagers are especially hard to buy for as they start to become independent in their tastes/styles but at the same time, they still love the idea of lots of little things. The best thing about this gift card idea is you can load the gift cards up to suit your budget. Slightly off-topic but we recently started giving our 13-year-old her own loaded card for all her own clothes and makeup. It has to last her the full year and she needs to budget for the seasons etc. She was costing me a small fortune in supplies that this was the only option for me to keep track of how much she was costing me. She has loved the freedom and it has saved lots of arguments at the checkouts too.
You will need 12 Gift cards 
to create this Christmas tree, a plastic star, and a Letterboard. Lots of discount stores sell the letterboards but you can, of course, stick them to a picture frame or even just card stock. Use a sticky dot
or some double-sided tape to secure the gift cards into place.
