I asked my soon-to-graduate-nephew what he, or other graduates, would like for a gift. His response:

Money
Money
Money
Money

So I asked, him what he’d buy with that money? His answer: more money. hmmm.

So with that in mind, here are some creative ways to give cash as gifts.

Cut DSP to fit around and cover toilet paper roll, adhere and put inside mason jar. Fill around the roll with favorite candy. This is the COOLEST way ever to give money!!

Put it in the middle of a candy jar, with the help of a paper towel roll cut to fit.

Buy an ADMIT ONE box for them to keep all their ticket stubs in, but fill it with money.

Someone actually did this for us for our wedding with a parasol. It was so fun to open!
