I have a gift card that a group of us at work are giving to a girl at her bridal shower tomorrow. I hate the thought of us giving a gift card in an envelope, and nothing real "special" about it since it is from about 3/4 of the people that will be at the party (=not much to gifts to open). Any unique ideas of how to give it?

This may be corny - it IS off the top of my head (putting out that disclaimer in case it does sound goofy...)

How about purchasing one of those fuzzy little receiving blankets, and attaching the gift card with a sentence like "I hope this helps cover something wonderful" or something similar? (Hoping the mom gets the little pun: the blanket to cover the baby, and the gift card to cover something great for the baby...)

Ummm.....it's a BRIDAL shower!! (Good idea though if it were a baby shower)

Maybe give her a box (or bag) with a lot of small kitchen items (sponges, dishwashing detergent, spatula, roll of paper towels, memo pad, etc.) and put the gift card in the bottom in another box for her to open. You could probably get a bunch of stuff at the $1.00 store.

Since it's a bridal shower you might put it in a pair of bridal panties or with sometning they can use on the weddiing night maybe attach it to a scented candle or some body lotion.

Or you can put it in a small box wrap it then a bigger box wrap it and so on.

Or use a fun tin or basket or something maybe with a stuffed bear couple or something like that.

Right!

Good thing I wasn't on the list...

why not wrap it in a bunch of boxes - that nest together - so she has lots of boxes to unwrap to get to the gift card
