I am a brand ambassador for Central Arkansas McDonalds. While I am being compensated for this post all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Giving gifts is my love language. I love picking out just the right gift or even card to give someone. I would literally spend hours in the card section of Target reading all of the cards in order to find just the right one for whomever I am buying for. I love love love choosing just the right thing to give to someone. I especially love buying for my nieces and nephews…seeing their little faces light up and knowing I have chosen the perfect gift makes my entire day. I am pitiful y’all…LOL!!
But sometimes the best gifts to give are the unexpected ones. I love to Pay-it-Forward in a drive through or leave dollar bills in the toy section of the dollar store. The unexpected is always more fun than the expected in my book.
One thing I love to give is a gift card. They are easy to carry around and always a fun little pick me up. There are so many different ways to give a gift card and today I am going to share the top 10 ways to give an Arch Card this holiday season…because who doesn’t want a gift card to McDonald’s?? I love them!!!
ONE. Stocking stuffers! Stick an Arch Card in a stocking! They are the perfect size and make a great suprise!
TWO. Blessing bags! Some people make bags filled with travel size toiletries, money, food, and other item for the homeless. I think it would be a great idea to stick an Arch Card in there too!
THREE. Christmas cards! Stick an Arch Card in your Christmas cards for our favorite family members!
FOUR. Redbox! Most of the McDonald’s in my area have Redbox machines outside them, how fun would it be to go to rent a movie and find an Arch Card so you can grab a meal too?
FIVE. Winshield! Stick an Arch Card on a random person’s windshield. You never know when someone may need a quick meal!
SIX. Mailbox! Stick one in your mailbox as a treat for your postman (or postwoman)!
SEVEN. Water Department! I drop my water bill off at my water department every month and the women that work there always look so sad, I bet an Arch Card would cheer them right up!
EIGHT. Secret Santa! Participating in Secret Santa this year? Stick an Arch Card in one of their presents!
NINE. Name Tags! Use Arch Cards as name tags on your Christmas Presents this year! That’s a Win/Win in my book, a present AND a meal! You can’t beat that!
TEN. Party Favors! Hosting a Christmas Party this year? Use Arch Cards in your goodie bags for your guests!
What are your favorite ways to give gift cards as gifts??
Are you giving any Arch Cards this year??

I love to give gift cards. McDonald’s is a great card for me to give the kids. They can use it while they are away at school.
