How to Give Digital and Kindle Gifts. Most of my Family members have a Kindle to read books on. Some of them want Kindle books for Christmas. Others request donations to charitable organizations for their gift. This also works well for giving Gift Cards. I also use one of these if the gift might arrive after Christmas. You can use any supplies you have to decorate these.
*I also use these for gifts that might arrive late so they have something to open.
Note: I forgot to tie the ribbons on before I took the picture…
