Heart of Green

A little piece of me cringes every time I give money [or a check or gift card, for that matter] as a gift. It feels so wrong. So impersonal. Yet, sometimes you know that the recipient will probably enjoy it or benefit more than something they may not have needed or wanted. A while back I talked about the money bouquet and then recently I stumbled upon this.


How sweet is that? Next time you go to slip a twenty into a card, why not try a little origami on it first? I don't know if I would ever want to unfold and spend it it's so pretty. Full instructions can be found here.

Have you received creative gifts of money? I'd love to know some other fabulous presentations.

i know just what you mean. i often frame the money when giving as a gift to make a nicer presentation. then they have a tangible thing to go with it too!

This post couldn't have come at at a better time. I hate giving money as presents but I've been trying to shop for a teenager and I know she would probably want the money most. I love the framing idea from Audrey. Just might use both!
