When a cousin was going to a certain college, an aunt got a coffee mug from that school and rolled many $1 bills and put them in the mug.
I am thinking about Christmas this year, and cash may be a substantial part of the gifts. I’ve thought of just getting multiple bills and wrapping them individually in different sized boxes/bags.
One Christmas I have cash, but I put things the kids already owned in boxes so they wouldn’t know it was cash.
That is a great idea! Both my kids have tons of their stuff at my house.
Years ago, my mother could not think of any gift ideas for my grandfather (her FIL - she handled all the family gift tasks). It was before gift cards were a thing. So she wrapped a catalog up in a box with a comb and some cash. Note said something like, “comb through these ideas to find something you like” . We all thought it was clever.
Every time I read the thread title, I think that this discussion should be in the politics forum.
I gave a friend’s daughter/friend of my kids $100 cash for her graduation and I folded into origami – 5 different things. There are a lot of tutorials on YouTube. When my cousin’s son got married I did the same thing, but made hearts. The graduate said in the thank you card she sent that it was “the best money ever”.
