Gift Certificate Paper

gift cards are everywhere now, but just a few years ago consumers could only give out paper gift certificates. Which company/retail store is credited with giving out the first gift cards?

The first ones I remember seeing were from record stores (remember those?) like MUSICLAND and TOWER RECORDS

Hi Guys, Just a quick video making a baby gift card using Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies, some card stock, pattern paper and embellishments ...

I was looking online and i saw an auction for a gift certificate from sears that was a paper copy that would be emailed to you. Seems kind of fishy. Has anybody had experience with it?

I've never heard of a paper gift certificate. I know they often send coupons online that you can print out, but I've never heard of a gift certificate that was paper (seeing that the majority of the places use reloadable cards). Without a receipt, it's hard to tell whether or it's legitimate.

Consecutive numbering
Cream paper
Security watermarked paper

the first wedding anniversary gift is traditionally supposed to be paper

I like the cash suggestion. I've done that for someone's birthday and folded the bills using instructions from a money origami book. They had a regular little "zoo" once I was done, since I did mostly animals. (The elephant tended to fall forward on his trunk since he was a little front heavy)

Amazon.com still does paper gift certificates. As for stores...you'd have to check around. Most seem to be switching to the credit card type gift card.

25 certificates with envelopes per package

I have some gift certificates, they are thicker paper, about the size of a dollar bill, just a little longer. I'm looking for a creative way to wrap them.

put them in a HUGE box.

Hello! I recently bought a gift for someone that includes a gift card and a printed-out gift certificate. Unfortunately, the gift certificate printed out to be full paper sized (8x11). I was wondering if anyone had any cute ideas for how to wrap/prepare these cards to give to her?
(I'm not sure if it helps, but the gift certificate is to the fox theatre and the card is for a restaurant)

Since the certificate is to the Fox Theatre, can you get an old Playbill and make the certificate part of that?

The gift card could be tucked inside a Chinese Food container (they sell them at craft stores). Use some raffia or crimped packing shreds to stuff the carton.
