I need a creative idea

We are doing a secret santa at work where we had to list what we want within a $15 min. limit. I got a new co-worker who asked for a Dunkin Donuts gift card. I don't just want to put a gift card in a little box or place it in a coffee cup so I am asking all of you for ideas. I thought of getting a box of munchkins and attaching the gift card to the box, but that won't work since we have to have the gifts in this week to have under the tree for our party next week. Any ideas?

What about putting the g.c. in w/ a bag of the DD coffee? Not too creative, but boy is their coffee good!

Make up a gift basket with a few little things, pens and pads, pound of coffee, new coffee cup and the GC.

How about getting one of the DD styrofoam cups and putting it in there with a bow on the top? The box of Munchkins idea is cute too!

If the person wants the Dunkin Donuts gift card for the coffee, not the donuts (as is the case with me ), you could do a coffee/caffeine themed gift. Maybe get a bag or tube of chocolate-covered coffee beans and put "In Case of Emergency, Break Seal and Eat..." or something like that. Maybe you have or can get the free sample bag of Dunkin Donuts coffee that's been offered recently and can use that. Some stores also sell a little foil sealed packet for about $1.

I do coffee-themed care packages a lot and am usually trying to get a smile with them, so I often included a nicely printed up version of something like: Are You A Coffee-Addict? or You Know You’ve Had Too Much Caffeine When… or an image from: coffee addict - Google Image Search just for fun.

HTH,

I think the styrofoam cup idea is good like one from Starbucks etc. I saw this on the Today Show yesterday. You take the sleave off and lay it out flat on wrapping paper and trace it. Then tape or glue the wrapping paper around the cup. And on the lid you can put a big bow. It looked really cute.
