Today I have something super cute to share with you. It’s a gift idea that would be perfect for graduation, birthday, or even Christmas.
It’s a simple idea but a little unexpected. Exactly my style!
Hope Your Day is Filled with “Excitemint!”
I used one dollar bills for this gift, but if you want to give more you could always do $5s, $10s, $20s or any combination of those. At first I just rolled up the bills and placed them in the container without the gum because it seemed kinda gross to put the gum back in with the money, but then I realized in order to make it look full I’d have to put in quite a bit of money! LOL No way!
So the gum got voted back in. I say the gift recipient can use his or her judgment on whether or not it’s safe to eat! š
Not only would this be a lovely gift idea on its own, but I think it would be super sneaky as part of a larger gift! The recipient probably wouldn’t open it right away and be in for a super duper surprise when they go to have a piece of gum. š
I hope you liked this money gift – look for more in the series in coming weeks!
