I have several people asking for gift cards and money for christmas this year and needed some cute/clever ideas to give them! I am thinking about a Gift Card snow globe type deal I saw on Pinterest as well as a Money Tree (also seen on pinterest). Any others would help!
I would prefer stuff that actually required effort, not this put inside a book and wrap stuff. That's no fun.
Some hobbies of the people:
Workout, Baptist, Catholic, Cook/Bake, Sew, and Read.
Answer
1.) If youâve opted to give a gift card to a fast food restaurant, or a chain restaurant that the recipient frequents for lunch â wrap it in a brown lunch bag. Tie some ribbon around it, add a bow, or decorate with holiday stickers for an entire food/lunch theme!
2.) Maybe youâre giving a gift certificate to a fancy restaurant that requires a suit and tie. Wrap it in a cloth napkin with a bow, or teach yourself to fold the napkin in a special and unique way. Itâll show you actually put thought into the present!
3.) Starbucks gift cards are a popular gift to receive in my household. Put the gift card in a personalized mug and then put a bow on top.
4.) Giving a gift card to a clothing store? Get adventurous. Slip the gift card into the pocket of a new shirt or new pair of pants to encourage the recipient to complete the ensemble youâve thoughtfully started.
5.) If youâre giving a gift card to a cinema to a movie buff, find an empty popcorn container and packing peanuts. Tear the packing peanuts into smaller bits; spray paint them white and yellow to make them look like popcorn. Then hide the gift card in the popcorn container with the makeshift popcorn on top.
6.) Purchase a cheap, inexpensive wallet, and slip the gift cards into the billfold section!
7.) If youâre giving a gift card to a CD store, or an iTunes gift card, put it in a cassette box.
8.) Gift cards to bookstores you can have a lot of fun with. Tape the card to the inside cover of a secondhand classic book. If you have an old book lying around (or can purchase for really cheap at a yard sale), carve out the pages so thereâs a space to lay the gift card among the pages!
9.) Take an old Crayola Crayons box; wrap it in a brown paper bag. Now youâre free to decorate it any way you see fit!
10.) Take a box of chocolates , take the chocolates out and put money in the chocolate holders
11.) Money Origami -What's cooler than getting cash in the shape of the things you could buy with the money? Use money origami to make a collared shirt and some boots. Add in a bow-tie and you have a new wardrobe! The possibilities are endless, and the time you put in will definitely earn you a few impressed looks. The only downside is the recipient won't want to "unwrap" the gift!
12.) Pop for Your Cash- Fill a bunch of balloons with dollar bills, blow them up, and then give the recipient a little box with a pin inside. Theyâll soon figure out that their job is to pop the balloons and collect the cash that falls out.
13.) Cold Hard Cash-Put your the cash in a plastic bag and close it tight. Place it in a container of water and stick it in the freezer for a few hours. The recipient will have to chip away at the block of ice (or wait for it to melt!) in order to reach the present.
14.)Never-Ending Roll- Cut a slit in a cardboard box (shoe boxes work great!), wide enough to fit the short side of a dollar bill through. Tape the bills together, end to end, and roll them up inside the box. Tape one end to a sign that says "Pull Here," making sure the sign hangs outside the box while hiding the dollar bills that are attached to it inside. When the recipient pulls the tab, the cash will flow out, and the present will take some time to unwind.

Creative gifts?
Kicks like
Ok, I have a friend who is very creative, and loves things that you put together yourself (the gift giver). She loves anything to do with pictures (so picture frames are a good idea) and she loves sentimental things like pictures and poems. She also loves anything to do with coffee and scented candles. What should I get her?
Answer
1. Find pictures of the two of you and buy a picture ornament frame and give it to her
2. I'm having so much fun with this. Find a picture of you and her and send her this e-mail.

Then for Christmas do a print screen of the little jig (hold the Alt and Prt Scr Button) in word paste it and edit the picture. Get the Picture framed and give it to her for Christmas. Totally Funny. She will Love it. Or with the image you could make ornaments from them with your faces as elfs.
3. Write her a letter about how the two of you met and and the milestones of your friendship (highschool, weddings, parents dying). Tell her how much you love her.
4. Give her a gift Certificate to a nursery to buy a tree or you could give her a little christmas tree she could plant outside with the following poem:
Trees start out as a seed
And grow with time.
We planted the seeds of friendship,
And our relationship took off from there.
As our friendship continues to grow,
I appreciate every ring on my tree.
For every ring symbolizes a special event, a laugh, or even a cry.
For you have made a difference in my life.
The events we weather in life make us who we are.
And just as a tree grows roots,
We grow roots.
We have developed a long lasting relationship.
I want to thank you for being my roots, my stable force.
I know I can count on you

5. Make her a stepping stone
6. Make her flavored vinegars in some nice bottles
