Many of us have become more practical in giving gifts over the years. Instead of playing the guessing game on what gift to give during Christmas, we choose to go the practical route and just give cash.

Some simply hand the money, while some put them inside Ampao red envelopes.

But if you want to be more creative with your gift-giving, then we have suggestions on how you can “wrap” money as a Christmas gift. Check out the list below.

1. Put them in a frame

This is a cute way to present money as a gift. Just make sure to put a funny or clever text inside the frame.

2. Place them inside balloons

If you want to add a little mystery and excitement, then this is how you should give money as a gift. The receiver will surely be popping the balloons with much eagerness.

3. Use a pizza box

Humor is the key to pull off this one. It doesn't always have to be a pizza box though. You can make use of a box that is connected to the receiver's interest or hobby, and add a witty message.

4. Make a money garland or lei

(The How To Duo)

If you're giving a lot of paper bills, then this is the best option to present your gift. You can add different designs or accents to your garland. We suggest you use the receiver's favorite color or any symbol related to their interests.

5. Create a money origami

This is the most flexible option because you can make an origami of anything. It's always best to know the receiver's interests or favorites, so you can plan your origami design accordingly.

6. Convert a tissue box into a money box

For full impact, we suggest that you retain the original design of the tissue box, so that the receiver will have no clue what's inside it until he tries to pull out a sheet.

Hope you liked our money gift presentation suggestions. Don't worry if you think you're not that good in arts and crafts, or coming up with funny messages. Like what they always say, it's the thought that counts.
