Everyone loves receiving cash as a gift during the holiday season, but let’s be honest: it’s a little anticlimactic. No guessing the gift based on the size of the box; no dramatic suspense of unwrapping the present; just a standard envelope that leaves nothing to the imagination.
If you are looking to spice up the holiday season, think outside the box and give your cash in one of these creative ways…
Make them work for it.
Luckily, retailers have already solved this problem for you. Lock your cash in one of these unique money puzzles, give it to a friend or family member, then watch the look on their faces as they try to crack the code.
Make a money notepad.
A notepad made out of paper is boring. A notepad made out of money, on the other hand, could be the highlight of someone’s holiday. They are easy to make, too. Click here for full step-by-step instructions.
Disguise the bill as a bookmark.
This is a great idea for the reader in your family. Give them a book for Christmas (which they may or may not even want) and tuck a crisp bill in between the pages, making sure to stick out the top as if it was a bookmark.
A sweet treat.
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. Imagine the look on your recipient’s face when they open what they think is a box of assorted chocolates, and all of the candy has been replaced with cold hard cash.
Know when (and how) to fold ‘em.
What’s better than a crisp $100 bill? A $100 bill folded into a wreath, snowman, christmas tree, or snowflake! Click here to learn how how you can make festive cash origami.
In case of emergency…
Break the glass! All this idea requires is a picture frame. Simply put the money on display in the frame, and label it with the words, “in case of emergency, break glass.” A simple and humorous way to contribute to a loved one’s emergency fund.
