Save your used gift cards. Cut the fronts of the cards to make lovely gift tags using fancy edged scissors if desired. Punch a hole in the top of the tag, then thread a colored string (crochet cotton works) through. Package them 20 tags to a cellophane bag, tie with a ribbon, and give out to friends as little 'friendship gifts' before Christmas. You can reuse all occasion cards too by making gift tags and bookmarks!

My mom used to do this for our church Christmas Sale and they sold like hot cakes. Only she also cut a plain piece of the Christmas card from the back of the card so that the gift tag opened.
