Know someone who loves iced coffee or dirty sodas? A teacher, coworker, friend, teen? Package a drink gift card like this for a fun gift idea that combines cute with practicality.
I used a Starbucks gift card but this idea can also be easily adapted for other drink shops like Dunkin’, Seven Brew, Swig or a local drink shop, making it versatile for anyone who enjoys a nice drink. The coozie keeps the drink iced cold and looking cute AND their table or desk protected from condensation.
Supplies for This Drink Gift Card Holder Idea:

Here is everything I used in my Starbucks gift card holder: (click bold links to shop)
- Empty Drink Cup: When picking up your gift card(s), just ask for a clean, empty iced drink cup.
- Gift Card of choice.
- Iced Coffee Coozie: I’m obsessed with All Things Lilly Ann designs. She has other cute coozies and products so take a quick browse around her site. Pick one that suits the personality of your teacher or friend.
- Paper shred
- Optional candies
- Ribbon or Bow to add a finishing touch to your gift. I used this blue gingham ribbon to make a bow.
- Optional flamingo drink float

- Add your gift card and optional candies
