How to Make Printable Christmas Coupons
I will be using the foiling method in this post. To use these coupons on an inkjet, I reccomend glossy cardstock. Just print and cut them out, and they are ready for gifting.
- Print using a laser printer. Print your Christmas coupons on white cardstock using a laser printer. The laser toner is what allows the foil to adhere to the printed design.
- Cut out your coupons.
- Cut your foil slightly larger so that there is enough to cover the surface of the coupon.
- Set the temperature of your heat press to 300-310 degrees F.
- Place the coupon onto the heat press bed or a flat surface.\Cover the coupon with the reactive foil, shiny side up.
- Cover the coupon with a piece of parchment paper or butcher paper.
- Press for 15-20 seconds.
- Allow the coupon to cool
- Peel away the foil carrier sheet. WOW, How Gorgeous!
- Fill in your gifts. Use a pen to write in the special gift or activity you’re giving.
Using a Laminating Machine for Foiling
After printing on a laser printer, cut a piece of foil slightly larger than your design.
Cover your design with foil, making sure the shiny side is facing up.
Place the foil-covered design into a transfer pouch.
Turn your laminator on and allow it to heat up.
Feed the folder through the machine.
Remove your foiled design and carefully peel it away from the cardstock.

Christmas Coupon Gift Ideas
The best part about these printable coupons is that you can personalize them for whoever you’re giving them to. Since each coupon has a blank space, you’re not limited to preselected gifts.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- A homemade dinner of your choice
- Breakfast in bed
- A movie night with popcorn
- One afternoon of babysitting
- A day of no chores
- A homemade dessert
- A coffee or lunch date
- A family game night
- One afternoon of quality time

You could even make a little booklet of coupons for someone special, giving them several gifts to enjoy throughout the year.
Paper Choices for Printing
I reccomend 89-100 lb cardstock. This provides a little more stability than the lighter weights.
These printable Christmas coupons can be printed on regular printer paper; however, the best results are achieved by using smooth cardstock.
These free printable Christmas coupons are a simple way to make gift-giving a little more personal this holiday season. Whether you print them on cardstock or add a touch of shine with heat-activated foil, they’re an easy DIY gift that can be customized for anyone on your list. Happy crafting and Merry Christmas!
