$$$ Money, Money $$$

Lately I have noticed that it is normal to ask money for a gift. I don't know why, but I really don't like to give just money as a gift, because I actually enjoy the part of finding the perfect gift for the person, but on the other hand - it's their wish, right?
What I wanted to share is this cute idea, how to give money and make the process more interesting:

Creative money gift

Have a tissue box, remove all the tissues and the money amount split in smaller pieces. Then tape them together and leave one or two tissues at the very top.
When you come to the party (event) you give it to the person, while explaining that you wanted to give him money, as asked, but unfortunately you spend the amount you wanted to give him/her, so you bought some tissues instead, just in case he will be too sad for the fact he got no money. Offer or even insist to use the tissue right away, so everyone could see the fun gift you made!
