My daughter is turning 21 next week! We like to give birthday “experiences” and this year we surprised her with an early celebration. We sent her the confirmation for her plane ticket for Fall break however; instead of a ticket to fly home, we sent her a ticket to Orlando! She did not know that was her destination until she went online to check in 24 hours in advance and thought her dad had messed up the flight. LOL Needless to say, she was thrilled when she found out she was going to Universal Studios (the Wizarding World of Harry Potter) and we would be meeting her there. We are HUGE Harry Potter fans and I can still remember reading aloud all seven books to her. Our son lives in Massachusetts and he took off from work and flew in to surprise her. We had a wonderful time!
We had a few other surprises for her too!
I found a “golden snitch” bracelet and made a special holder (which could also be used to hold a gift card).
I love that you pull the ribbon to reveal the gift/card inside.
Details:
4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Gold Foil scored at 1 1/2 and 4. Punch a hole in the center using 1/4″ circle punch. Adhere with tear & tape on back.
Cut ~12″ ribbon and loop around cardstock (Gold Glimmer Paper) and slide inside.
Insert ribbon through hole and tie a knot.
Decorate front as desired. I used Broadway Bound DSP and Gold Metallic Ribbon.
Pull ribbon to view/open.
We love to play family games and I found this fun idea on Pinterest.
I printed the cards on Whisper White cardstock and cut them out. They were the perfect size to fit in a Stampin’ Up! Mini Pizza Box!
This is a quick & easy gift that would be great for any Harry Potter fan! I included the links below if you want to make this. It’s not too early to make some fun stocking gifts! You can purchase the mini pizza boxes from my online store.
