Abstract

A viscous liquid vessel system for presenting a gift is described herein. In some embodiments, the viscous liquid vessel system comprises a vessel containing a viscous liquid in which a gift is disposed. The vessel comprises a lid for enclosing the viscous liquid and the gift. The viscous liquid vessel system may be presented to a gift recipient and the gift recipient may remove the gift from the vessel and the viscous liquid creating a heightened emotion upon receipt and extraction of the gift.

Claims (29)

1. A viscous liquid vessel system for securing a transaction card, the viscous liquid vessel system comprising:

a vessel that presents a size and a shape that is configured to receive the transaction card, the vessel comprising a label attached to the exterior of the vessel, the label on the vessel comprising a bar code configured to activate the transaction card;

a viscous liquid disposed in the vessel,

wherein the viscous liquid is configured to surround the transaction card within the vessel, wherein the viscous liquid is configured to resist removal of the transaction card therefrom without damaging the transaction card upon removal.

2. The viscous liquid vessel system of claim 1 , wherein the label presents at least one graphic and is configured to receive input from a gift-giver.

3. The viscous liquid vessel system of claim 1 , wherein the viscous liquid is configured to conceal the transaction card from an exterior of the vessel while the transaction card is disposed within the viscous liquid.

4. The viscous liquid vessel system of claim 3 , wherein the vessel is transparent.

5. The viscous liquid vessel system of claim 1 , wherein the viscous liquid is enhanced with at least one decorative item suspended in the viscous liquid.

6. The viscous liquid vessel system of claim 1 , wherein the viscous liquid comprises guar gum, aseptic, and water.
