Here are a couple of easy gift ideas to give cash at the holidays. I love giving cash because it’s a great eco-friendly option!
Mini Stockings with “Coffee Fund” Written on Them (or whatever kind of “fund” you want)
We did this last year for a few different friends and family members. I found the mini stockings at the Dollar Store. It shows the recipient that you know what kinds of treats they enjoy. Wrap it up in a little box and you’re good to go.
A few ideas for different kinds of funds:
Coffee Fund
BBQ Fund
Wine Fund
Beer Fund
Book Fund
Movie Fund
“Play-doh”
Put cash into an old play-doh container and wrap. I first saw this idea shared by About Family Crafts on Pinterest. They also put a little note on the lid saying “Enjoy some extra dough!”
Do you like to give and/or receive cash as a gift?
Happy Holidays, everyone!

Those are super cute ideas! One year when I was in college my brother in law bought a loaf of bread and put a dollar in between every single slice of bread for some “dough.”

These are cute ideas. It reminds me of what I friend did for her nieces and nephews; she wrapped crayons with dollar bills and put them back into the crayon box for gifts.
P.S. This is being featured as my favorite post this week on Literacy Musing Mondays. Sneak a look by visiting This Mom’s Delight this week.

Cute ideas, especially the Play-Doh! I like giving cash and gift cards, hubby does not. There’s just some people who are hard to buy for and I figure money and gift cards can be used by anyone. Thanks so much for linking up with me at #AThemedLinkup 34 for All Things Christmas. Shared.
