I gave a friend a old navy card once and decorated a jean pocket as a lil purse because she loved old navy jeans. She loved it, her daughter took the purse of course!
My parents got a home depot card for my dad. I decorated a vienna coffee box. I covered it in wrap, no time to paint and all then I put some lil mini tools in there with that papery fill and tied off the box with a lil screwdriver hanging from the ribbon. For my mom we did a few dinner cards to various restaurants, same concept added fill and a few Andes dinner mints. Everyone loved it! hoped that helped!

if its for a woman how about a small sheer fabric sachet drawstring bag filled with lavender to use as a draw scent and tie a satin ribbon around it real pretty. or what about putting it inside a real pretty picture frame of a certain size, maybe a nice desk size one to display a photo of her or his family picture to use at work.

Put it in a solid colored envelope, tie a pretty ribbon around it, then slip a flower(real or silk) under the bow.

One thing that my mother does is to give the card with something else. Ex- Dinner card with a napkin holder or sports store card with a box of fishing line.
