How to make a gift voucher?

03 September 2025

Gift vouchers are more than a convenient and thoughtful gift that give your recipient the freedom to buy what they really want. Gift vouchers can also be customised to make them more personal to your recipient. This allows you to transform your thoughtful gift into a memorable gifting experience that will be cherished long into the future. 

From personal touches like photographs and messages to handcrafted touches and special packaging that showcases your creativity and elevates the entire presentation, there are plenty of ways to enhance your gift voucher. 

At giftvouchers.co.uk, we offer gift voucher customisation options that allow you to create a special gifting moment that won’t be forgotten. 

How to make a gift voucher?

To create an elegant gift voucher, you need to pay careful attention to design and presentation. Think of the way Apple packages its products. The sleek packaging creates an exciting unboxing experience that fits with the futuristic design of their products. 

When it comes to gift vouchers, we think a handcrafted approach is the perfect way to create a charming impression on your recipient. Quality cardstock in sophisticated hues, paired with calligraphy pens or elegant typography, can be used to create a luxury feel that adds a sense of anticipation. Previous customers have also told us of how they have used wax seals, ribbons, or embossed finishes to transform their gift voucher packaging into a fun keepsake.

We allow you to select from simple customisation options such as adding personal messages and choosing from various styles of gift envelope for physical gift vouchers. You can also choose to have a gift voucher sent directly to your recipient to give them a pleasant surprise. 

How to make a gift voucher more exciting?

If you opt for a physical gift voucher, then you have more options for customising its presentation. A creative presentation can really elevate the gifting experience from a nice surprise to a memorable unboxing experience. 

Consider packaging options that build anticipation and add a premium feel to your gift. An elegant box nestled with tissue paper, or a beautifully crafted envelope sealed with a personalised wax stamp are some of the ways our customers have gone about it.

Incorporating the gift into a themed hamper, or pairing it with complementary items that enhance the overall experience are also great ways to make a gift voucher more exciting. For instance, a restaurant gift card might be beautifully presented alongside chocolates or a bottle of wine. Even more creative ideas include gamifying the experience with a treasure hunt with clues that lead to the prize of a gift voucher. 

It’s the personal touches that make all the difference. Handwritten notes explaining why you've chosen this particular gift, or creating custom packaging to reflect shared memories adds emotion and turns a gift voucher into something meaningful. 

As well as the design of your gift voucher packaging, also consider the timing of when you will give your gift. Creating a special moment for the reveal, perhaps during an intimate dinner or a quiet morning with coffee, or even in the office in front of other colleagues can all influence how you go about designing your packaging and presenting a gift voucher.
