Creative Ways to Wrap Money Gifts
Hello friends, it is November 10th already! Oh my goodness, this month is just flying by. Have you started your Christmas and holiday shopping yet? My personal goal is to have all of my shopping wrapped and finished by December 5th.
I usually wrap our grandchildren’s gifts in a specific wrapping paper chosen just for them. Savannah has snowflake paper, Noah has plaid, etc. There is no need for traditional name tags! I simply keep a small piece of each paper and write their names on it so everyone knows which pattern belongs to them. (Smile!) I have been using this method since they were all little ones.
Now that they are older, they rarely ask for traditional gifts anymore. Most of them prefer gift cards. (our youngest grandson is nearly 17). So there’s not quite as much to wrap now. I still get to wrap gifts for our two great grandchildren though!
A couple of years ago, I decided to get a little creative and used dollar bills instead of standard gift cards, and I had so much fun finding clever ways to wrap them. (smile)
- I taped the end of each of the dollars together and tucked them inside an empty tissue box so they pulled out in one long, fun strand.
- I used a clean, new single slice pizza box and carefully folded the bills so they looked like pepperoni slices.
- I crafted a little money tree using pipe cleaners, clipping the dollar bills onto each “branch” with tiny clothespins from my craft stash.
- I rolled each dollar bill up neatly and secured it with a small paperclip, then tucked them all inside a cute little Christmas gift box.
- I stuffed cozy winter socks and warm gloves with dollar bills and wrapped them up. (I truly wish I had photos to share with you!)
I also love adding a special keepsake touch to the outside of the boxes. Instead of a paper tag, I attach a sweet photo of them or of us together inside a pretty crystal photo charm. You can add ribbon and add it to your tree too. You can find them in my All Prints by Katie shop. (smile)
