Many of my nieces and nephew are at the age where gift buying is HARD, but who doesn't like getting money? My Nephew turned 12 this year, and I decided that I was going to make his gift of Money a little more fun.
I took 25 crisp one dollar bills (straight from the bank) and taped them end to end with cheap tape (cheap so it peeled off easier). Every 5 bills I taped in a note like "Will it never end!?!?!?!".
Then I rolled the whole shebang up and put it in a wrapped box with a slit in the top (I used a sudafed box, and I wrapped it first leaving on side open to insert the money into)
My nephew thought this was hilarious! We were cracking up the whole time. It really turned a dull gift into something exciting :)
That's a super cute idea...if one HAS $25 to spare!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI was thinking...this would be a cute idea too, that instead of money, print out little "coupons" like, "No dish washing for a week" or "Movie night of your choice" or "Good for one new nail polish" or something...hmm...very good idea mother.
