The One Gift Nobody Will Return!

You may have guessed it, money! That’s right, good old cash. I know this is some­thing every­one can use. I usu­ally opt for the gift card, but with so many busi­nesses going under, I’m turn­ing to cash more and more these days. My nephew is grad­u­at­ing in Decem­ber from High School. Since the kid has every­thing already, includ­ing the best aunt ever, I feel I may have to just hand over some cash. So I’ve been brain­storm­ing some unique ways to gift money.

This is the first idea of my five day series.

Bread, a.k.a. money, is the per­fect way to wrap up your gen­eros­ity. One rea­son peo­ple don’t like to give cash is because they think it’s imper­sonal or appears to be the easy route. Doing some­thing like this will show you did put some thought into their gift.

What To Do:

• Pur­chase a loaf of bread, whether it be a roll or a large loaf.
• Cut it in half, then scoop a lit­tle of the bread out to make room for the cash.
• Place the bread in a clear bag or bak­ery box.
• Add a rib­bon or raf­fia tie with a gift tag attached that clearly indi­cates they need to open the bread loaf. This is very impor­tant oth­er­wise you run a small risk that they’ll just throw it out…or even eat it!

Tag Ideas:

• “Thought you might like a lit­tle bread to help feed your crav­ing for a vaca­tion (fill in what you know they would like it for).”

• “Man can­not live on bread alone, so look inside!”

• “Remem­ber, man does not live on bread alone: some­times he needs a lit­tle but­ter­ing up.” (but­ter inside)

• Be sure to break open the bread…
