Giving a birthday gift of $80 in singles

[JanetRose]

We are giving a gift of $80 in singles for my brother-in-law for his 80th birthday...there will be other little gifts.

How should we present the money?

In an envelope, a ribbon around it, in the birthday card?

Any other ideas?

thank you!

I saw a reel the other week that was a big rosette made up of dollar bills.

I'd go for the gag: candy box or a liquor carton.

My partner did this for my son this Christmas. He folded all $100 in half and put them in a gift box.

Google up money cake. I did one for my son's graduation and he loved it!

Change to coins, put it in a box with saw dust and syrup.

That's how we give monetary gifts in the Netherlands at weddings

My friends son did something like that for her birthday, but did it with a kleenex boutique tissue box instead. It was easier to work with than a cake

I would do 10 envelopes with 10 singles in each .
On the envelope I would write: In the 1940's $ 10 could get you A/B/C and so on.

I really love this idea.

I've done origami for money gifts. Google Dollar Bill Origami.

I did a poem for DMIL giving money for a trip, and each page of the poem had a different origami piece, like a shirt/pants/suitcase, etc.

I also did a bouquet for her for Mother's Day one year:

Envelope would be okay for sure

See, you guys are nice. I'm wicked...I've put money folded really small and stuffed it into a toy car back seat. That car was then covered with spray foam, put in a box and that box was wrapped with duct tape. My nephew still talks about how I wraps gifts...but they never complain because it's always worth it.
