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!

“Thank you for being an amazing teacher.”

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.
