How to Personalize Halloween Gift Cards

Gift cards make a convenient present -- there’s no denying that. But if you want your Halloween gift card to seem more personal, customized versions are the way to go.

Traditionally, Halloween wasn’t a gifting holiday. That said, times are changing, and people have come to realize that it may be better to give children gift cards rather than sugary treats as presents. If you are considering purchasing a gift card for your little one this Halloween, here are some impressive personalization ideas.

1. Spooky pumpkin: A quick search online will reveal various ways to decorate a pumpkin without you even having to cut it open or scrape out the goo. Pick a design you like, carve your pumpkin (preferably with your kid), take a picture of the carved pumpkin, and upload the photo on the gift card. Not only will your child appreciate the gift card, but they’re also likely to have had a fun time carving the pumpkin with you.

2. Candy corn surprise: Take a picture of your little one’s favorite Halloween candy and upload the image to create your very own customized gift card. You can choose to write a funny or thoughtful caption to make the gift all the more special. You could even go one step further and fill up a mason jar with some candy and place the gift card within it. Once that’s done, you can ask the recipient to reach inside to find their gift!

3. Photo gift card: One of the easiest ways to customize a Halloween gift card is by using a photo of your child in his/her Halloween costume from the year before. Just upload the photo and write a great caption on the message line. This can be a great way to start a family tradition of capturing annual photos of your children in their Halloween costumes and using these pictures on your gift cards.
