If you are all out of ideas for gifts to get a friend or family member, money is always a good fall back – after all, who doesn\u2019t like money? But how to give money as a gift creatively can be a little trickier – how do you gift it without seeming unimaginative, or as though you are offering charity? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n

How To Give Money As A Gift Creatively<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

Giving money is always appreciated as a gift<\/a>, no matter how old the recipient, but how to make it a bit more interesting than just handing over cash? Read on!<\/p>\n

Put it in a balloon<\/h3>\n

Take an uninflated balloon, pop a few pounds or a note or two inside, then blow it up and present it to your recipient, with a pin.<\/p>\n

Hide it in a sweetie jar<\/h3>\n

Folding up a note or two in a jar of sweets couldn\u2019t be easier – and this way the person gets money and sweets – what could be better!<\/p>\n

\u201cChocolate\u201d money<\/h3>\n

Take an empty box of chocolates and fold up different denominations of notes or coins into the places where the chocolates were. They may be disappointed that they don\u2019t have chocolates, but now they can buy their own!<\/p>\n

Slip it into a book<\/h3>\n

Find a good book, maybe by their favourite author, and slip a note in between the pages. This means you don\u2019t even have to say the money is from you.<\/p>\n

Make origami<\/h3>\n

With a little imagination and some Youtube videos, you can turn your cash into pretty little decorations.<\/p>\n

Wrap it into toilet paper<\/h3>\n

Carefully unroll the paper, then roll it back up with a note or two slipped inside. The pandemic\u2019s answer to a great, imaginative gift!<\/p>\n

How Do You Creatively Wrap Money As A Gift?<\/h2>\n

Wrapping presents is fun, because the person is nearly always clueless as to what\u2019s inside! Wrapping money is harder, however – there\u2019s no way to hide what it is. Or is there\u2026?<\/p>\n

  • Toilet roll. Your friend or family member may think they are receiving a toilet roll as a gift – but you will have tucked a roll of bills inside it. Talk about a nice surprise!<\/li>\n
  • A wallet. Your friend is desperate for a new wallet, so give them one – filled to the brim with money as an extra gift.<\/li>\n
  • \u201cCandles\u201d. When you bring out the birthday cake, instead of candles place a few rolled up bills in the cake instead. Just remember not to light them!<\/li>\n
  • Take a bag of their favourite sweeties, and tape together notes to make the packaging instead. A doubly sweet gift.<\/li>\n
  • A piggy bank. It\u2019s rude to give a money storage option without money in it, right? Fill their new piggy bank with the start of their savings.<\/li>\n
  • Empty a box of tissues, and carefully tape notes together in place of the tissues, so they go to blow their nose an find a wad of cash instead.<\/li>\n
  • Folding a piece of paper into intricate shapes is a great gift in itself, but if the paper is replaced by money then so much the better!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
