12 Sundays of Christmas - Week 03

On the 3rd Sunday of Christmas, my demo shared with me...this cute little tri-fold gift card holder.

 Everyone loves getting gift cards, but not a lot of people like giving them. Why? They think it's the easy way out. No thought (or at least not much thought) goes into picking up a gift card, after all. You don't have to worry about size, style, color, etc. 

You can assuage your guilty feelings of giving a gift card by making the packaging extra special. This gift card holder does the trick, I think.
