7 Free Gift Card Holder Printables & Cute Gift Card Ideas
1. Amazon Gift Card Holder Printable
If you’ve been following our blog, you know there are tons of ways to utilize an Amazon gift card. The options and deals are endless! So, naturally, an Amazon gift card is always an awesome gift choice in my eyes. (Free one-day shipping on Amazon gift cards too!) I spent hours figuring out how to make whipped up this gift card holder printable to give to my child’s teacher and I’m sharing it here so you can use it too if you want!
Print this 5×7 Amazon gift card printable on cardstock paper. Cut it out. Then adhere the gift card to the card (I just used removable double sided tape). Then you can write your name at the bottom, or have your child write their name, or write a message on the back. Whatever you prefer. Jazz it up even more by tying a ribbon or twine around the card.

This is a fabulous roundup of teacher appreciation gift card ideas. Thank you Melanie!
You’re welcome and thank you! I love these ideas. I think I might just do gift cards every year for every teacher!
Thank you so much for featuring my Target gift card printable! I love all of these ideas… great roundup!
Thanks for allowing us to share it. 🙂 Such a great printable!
These are absolutely wonderful and the gift cards you chose for designs are exactly what every teacher loves to get. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
These are absolutely awesome and a life-saver. Thank you SO much!!
You are so welcome! I totally needed an idea list like this too. 🙂
I love all of these! I am trying to print the Amazon one, and it keeps printing out blanks. I am not so computer savvy, hubby is stumped, too. Any ideas? Thank you!
Here’s how I like to do it (hopefully this helps): Click on the link, download the image, then go to your downloads on your computer and right-click on the image and select print. Then I print the photo as two 5×7 on one page.
Help!! The “Pinterest” cards are no longer available according to the website that the link goes to! I need these for tomorrow! Is there somewhere else to get them?
woohoo!!!! NM got it to work!
How did you get it to work?
These are fantastic!!! Just a sidenote: Any readers who live in Utah should be aware that gifts for teachers should not be more than $10. My husband is a teacher and has had some very generous parents and students give him gifts but he never knows what to do. A sidenote to my sidenote: I think it’s REALLY lame they do that! I mean, teachers are so poorly paid, why shouldn’t people get to gift the way they want? But anyways, just fyi. 🙂
Thanks, Julie!
I printed the Amazon printables off today, to give to my kiddo’s teachers!!! Thank you so much! I <3 it!
Thank you, Jessica! I’m sure the teachers will love it too!
Myself as well. Thank You!!!
These are really great. I am looking to use the Amazon one for our school volunteers. I have been trying to re-create it, but to no avail. Would you be willing to change the word “teacher” to volunteer?
Hey, Heather! If you are still looking for help, please email me at melanie at fabulesslyfrugal dot com
Thank you this is so perfect!!!
You’re welcome!
Very cool!
Any way you can create this outside of drive.google.com – I cannot access this because my computer wont open the files 🙁
