Is It Appropriate To Give Money As A Gift?

According to Real Simple, “Giving money as a gift—or even asking for money as a gift—used to be considered tacky. But not anymore.” It also creates less waste as Kelsee B Hankins says, “If you give someone a gift that they won’t use, that’s a waste of time and energy, as well as your money.”

Money is the most versatile gift. It’s always appreciated, never goes out of style, and it won’t end up in the garage sale pile! A gift of money gives the recipient the freedom to spend it exactly how they need or want. Whether it’s used for something practical, saved for something special, or spent on something frivolous, money allows the recipient to choose what works best for them!

With just a few supplies, you can transform a simple gift of money into a festive masterpiece!

• Money – Choose the denominations that work best for your budget.
• Jar or Snack-Size Baggies – Depending on which option you choose below. I used 8 ounce jars but you could use any size jar that you’d like to fill with rolled bills. The bag toppers will fit up to a 7″ wide baggie and have a little room to trim them down on each end if your baggie is a bit smaller.
• Baker’s Twine – You could use any type of string but I chose to use baker’s twine since this gift plays on the word dough.
• Pencil – I used a pencil to roll the bills.
• Gingerbread Man Tags And Toppers – Found below.
• Colored Printer – For printing your tags and toppers.
• Card Stock – For printing the Christmas Dough Gingerbread Man Tags and Baggie Topper.
• Scissors – For cutting the tags or toppers.
• 1/8″ Hole Punch – I used a hole punch for the tags I tied to jars and for the large gingerbread man money holder.
• Stapler – If you plan to use the baggie toppers, you’ll need a stapler to attach the topper to the bag.

What Age Is This Gift Good For?

This Christmas Dough gift is perfect for any age! The first time I used this idea was for my daughter, who was in college at the time.

Money is a gift everyone appreciates, but it isn’t very exciting to give or get.

More Ways To Use These Tags

There is no limit to the ways you can use these tags! With so many different tag options, you can use them on jars, treat bags, or even a snow globe! Another fun idea would be to cut 12 of the medium size gingerbread tags, attach folded bills to the back of each gingerbread man, and tape them on a cookie sheet with a wooden spoon and ribbon tied around it.
