Recycled from last year, because the suggestion is still valid.
Things like Blockbuster or iTunes 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.
An added benefit is that a jewel case is harder to lose than an envelope with a GC inside.

A couple years ago, I gave the four year old's mom a gift card to her favorite comic book shop. I taped it to a slate shingle (wieght, about 10 lbs). Said slate shingle was then centered in a nest of packing peanuts, filling the box that my most recent (at the time, they only last me about 1.5 years) circular saw, w/case came in.

Think graham cracker boxes, cereal boxes, soup cans, coffee cans. DuWayne is much more creative, but I have have upheld my reputation as the family nutcase nevertheless.
