I often criticize gift cards as being very impersonal gifts that shows you put little thought into what you got the recipient.

Well, perhaps there is a way gift cards can actually be made more personal.

My brother-in-law’s wife makes all her own cards – birthday, holiday, etc.  They are truly amazing creations and she makes each one especially for the person she gives it to.

Along those lines, when I came across this blog post showing how to make your own gift card holder, I thought, not a bad way to make it a little personal and show someone you actually thought about the gift a little.
