Things like Blockbuster or Tower gift certificates don't wrap well, and they're not too exciting when opened anyway. Why not pick up a small package of CD jewel cases at the local Office Depot and put them inside one of those? It makes the content less obviously what it is, which is a benefit in our house, where we're entirely too predictable most of the time.
As a bonus, jewel cases meet the Linkmeister rule of wrapping:
"When given a choice of several gifts, choose the one that's rectangular or square."

Posted by: Linkmeister at December 16, 2005 02:50 PMThat's a great idea. I wish I'd done my blog reading before I just wrapped gifts for shipping. :) I think I was creative with it, though. We got someone a Netflix gift subscription, so I rolled up the certificate like a scroll, tied it with string, and put it into an oblong jewelry box.
