$5 gift cards?

There's nothing I hate more than finding a perfect idea on Pinterest and then finding out it's not actually possible. I pinned a super cute idea for Tim's work team christmas gifts. It was a $6 redbox gc with movie theater candy boxes and popcorn. Cute, reasonably priced, perfect! Well, it doesn't appear red box has gift cards for under $20. Fail!

So does anyone have a cute christmas gift idea similar to that with a company that does have $5 gift cards?

I *think* Starbucks can load them for any price if you buy them in the actual store (as opposed to giant eagle)...you could put them in a mug?  with some chocolate?  or an individual pack of hot chocolate?

Amazon? You can rent movies and stream them. I prefer that to red box anyways! Not everyone may be able to do it but there are a million things they could use it for anyways?!

Starbucks does do any amount as far as I know. You can also do Dunkin donuts...I believe they do any amount.

I looked online and you can do a $10 redbox electronic gift card. I know it's more than $5 but still less than $20. He could just email to himself and print it out to give.

I think that you can get a multi-pack of Starbucks gift cards in the $5 denomination at Giant Eagle. And I agree with everyone else that you can also get them at the store with any amount on them.

You can definitely do 5.00 GC for Starbucks. That is my go to little thank you or thinking of you gift to slip in a card.  Costco had the 3 pack of the Mason Jar insulated straw cups for 9.97.   I bought those and added candy and a SB card for little gifts this year.

Is there a fast food place nearby that people frequent for lunch?   You can do a $5 card at places like Subway, Wendy's, etc and it's usually enough for a lunch (or almost).   I'm not sure what you can package it with, maybe something sweet for dessert?

I won a prize pack from Family Video with a $5 card and candy that came in a tub that popped popcorn.  I still haven't used the card though since there isn't a Family Video anywhere near me.
