Printed card to go with print out hasn't arrived. Sending an email on Christmas morning, with him sat beside me, doesn't feel that special.

Ideas really appreciated.

What's it a ticket for?

Thank you for replying.

Theatre tickets for ‘Dear England’.

I print out tickets and put them in a box or rolled inside a toilet roll inner or similar, it just makes it easy to wrap!

I'd probably do something silly like put a photo of Gareth Southgate with a speech bubble saying you've got tickets or something on a word doc and print that. Maybe buy some English beer and English snacks - pie for football. Wrap it all in a box.

Some good ideas if I had a printer, I don't.

I suppose I was wondering about anything tech based?

I have the same problem! I am going to ask Chat GPT to write me a riddle or a rhyme linking to the tickets and write in out in a Christmas card.

Draw picture of a footballer or a football? Draw mock tickets? He will be so amused that it he won’t mind. Great present by the way

Design something on canva and send as an ecard

We've wrapped my sons Linkin park tickets in an envelope and then 6 individually wrapped boxes stacked like a Russian doll 🤣

I gave my mum a nutcracker and some nuts in place of her tickets to the Nutcracker.

Possibly a generic polo type England shirt.

If you have access to a printer you'll be able to get a printable to down load from Etsy. If not you can make something email able using Canva

Write it in a card?

Daisy12Maisie · 23/12/2024 16:29

Something England related. Eg a mug with England on that he can unwrap then you explain what it is.

Or can you draw the England flag on some card and wrap that up?

I have a restaurant voucher for someone and the restaurant has the word "duck" in so I have got him some bamboo duck socks to unwrap. When he unwraps then I'll explain what the actual gift is.

I did this for DC’s with money that is to go towards a holiday. I had time to get cards printed by an Etsy seller. Fab now that they are here.

I have a new, large England flag in the garage….wrap a note in it, pin it and fly it…😆

You might not have a printer but you could down load a picture onto your phone, pop to the photo printing machine at the Supermarket and print that. It could be a photo of the play title / England team / photo of a theatre front with the This is England advert on

Thank you so much, I used GPChat for a rhyme, added it with pictures to CANVA and got it printed as photos.

Well done & good work PP’s - all sorted with the photos mounted in a card and the white envelope tied up with a red ribbon in a cross!

Happy Christmas!

Excellent teamwork!

Have a great Christmas @DBriana

chocolatespreadsandwich · 24/12/2024 18:45

Ah that sounds good!

I have wrapped one voucher in a box with some chocolate that very vaguely links to the theme. The other I have done as a series of clues in envelopes
