Creative Gifts

Nowadays it seems the only thing to give people is money. It’s a guaranteed gift that they will use, but do you want to be one of many who sticks $20 in a card?
No! You want to give cash in a really awesome way! I will be trying to do these every chance I get because they are really helpful.
Here is one I really like.

It’s pretty simple too.
You need an umbrella and however much money you want to give. ($1 bills are the best to make it look like a ton of money)

Tape your money to string with tape that won’t make the dollar rip. Be sure to use a variety of heights. Tie or tape the string to the umbrella and repeat! You have to be careful when closing the umbrella so the money doesn’t get all bent. I didn’t know this so some of my dollar bills are bent, but they don’t mind.
This gift was a hit. She loved it so much!
Caution: If they open it publicly it will get many oohs and ahs but everyone will then want a creative gift…

I hope this helps!
More creative gifts to come I guarantee!

This a simple way to make an awesome sugar scrub.
You need:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup your favorite hand soap or body wash. Either work.
We used Dove Body Wash

A mason jar is a nice way for presentation but it is optional.
Here is the finished product.

1. Measure out the soap and sugar
2. Pour them into desired container
3. Mix well so there is no sugar clumps
4. Give it a try! It smells like your soap but with a sugar scrub texture.
