Keep Track of Gift Cards

MarinaHanes ~ 16 September 2010

Gift cards are popular presents to give, because if you’re in a pinch, you can just run to a big retailer and pick up a card for any occasion. The one problem with them is that some people easily loose track of them or put them in several different places — maybe you’re one of these people.

To prevent that money from going to waste, it’s best to keep all of your gift cards in one place. You can either use a tin container or a change purse. If you have kids, separate their gift cards and label the tin for each person.

This 3.5” Rectangular Tin Container from Black Bear Haversack Trading Post would work well. Once you have all of the gift cards together, store them in your desk or wherever you do your bills. An even better spot might be the car so you have them when you’re running errands and shopping.
