I hate to give cash as a gift. I know lots of time it's the best option - especially if you're dealing with teenagers. But it always feels like a cop-out to me. Like I spent absolutely no time or thought on the gift, and just ponied up some cash. Here's a creative way to gift cash next time.....Get an inexpensive umbrella from the dollar store and dangled bills from the inside so that when opened up – tada! A little something for a rainy day…GET IT?!?!?!
