Explore some of the best <\/span>creative ways<\/span> to give money as a gift to the new <\/span>grads<\/span> in your life this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. <\/b>Money Tree<\/b><\/h3>\n

For a <\/span>cash gift<\/span> that\u2019s all about the presentation, we love the idea of handing over a <\/span>money tree<\/span>. Take a fake tree or plant and tape cash to the leaves, or create your own <\/span>DIY<\/span> version with some sticks and <\/span>dollar bills<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. New Wallet Filled with Cash<\/b><\/h3>\n

DIY<\/span> gifts aren\u2019t for everyone, and that\u2019s OK. There are still lots of creative options when it comes to <\/span>graduation money gift ideas<\/span>. Buy the <\/span>grad<\/span> a new wallet, and fill it with fresh <\/span>dollar bills<\/span> or a <\/span>gift card<\/span> ready for them to spend in their favorite store.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Money Rosette<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make your own graduation rosette or money badge and attach some cash to it to create a fun <\/span>gift idea<\/span>. Follow a <\/span>graduation money badge tutorial<\/a><\/strong>, which includes a <\/span>step-by-step<\/span> guide and <\/span>printable<\/span> elements to help you bring it all together.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. <\/b>Origami<\/b> Graduation Hat<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re handy at the art of paper-folding, then try and make your own <\/span>origami<\/span> graduation hats \u2014 complete with <\/span>tassels<\/span>. Either make the hats out of <\/span>dollar bills<\/span> themselves, or use paper and attach the cash to the hat via the <\/span>tassel<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. <\/b>Money Lei<\/b><\/h3>\n

For another fun <\/span>graduation gift<\/a><\/strong> try making a <\/span>money lei<\/span>. Attach the cash together into a lei shape, and add traditional flowers for decoration, color, and interest.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Money Mason Jar<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Mason<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to get out the craft paper and scissors to make a thoughtful or fun graduation money gift. Grab a clean mason jar, fill it with coins or <\/span>dollar bills<\/span>, and personalize it with a ribbon and a gift tag or label. This is a sweet <\/span>personalized gift idea<\/span> that won\u2019t take you long to put together.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. \u201cIn Case of Emergency\u201d Frame<\/b><\/h3>\n

Every <\/span>college grad<\/span> runs into a cash emergency at some point. Give them a head start with a <\/span>DIY<\/span> \u201cin case of emergency\u201d frame. Decorate a picture frame, then make your own backdrop for inside and attach some cash to it. Put everything inside the frame and present it as a quirky <\/span>graduation money gift idea<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. <\/b>Money Cake<\/b><\/h3>\n

You might have heard of diaper cakes, but did you know about <\/span>money cakes<\/span>? This cash alternative is ideal for celebrations of all kinds, including <\/span>birthday gifts<\/span> and <\/span>graduation gifts<\/span>. Style your cash together in the form of a cake, and hand it over to the new <\/span>grad<\/span>. It\u2019s a <\/span>fun way<\/span> to give a <\/span>cash gift<\/span> this <\/span>graduation season<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. <\/b>Graduation Cap<\/b>-Themed Piggy Bank<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you want a <\/span>great gift idea<\/span> that\u2019s also practical, give the fresh <\/span>grad<\/span> a <\/span>money box<\/span> or piggy bank that\u2019s shaped like a <\/span>graduation cap<\/span>. It\u2019s the perfect place for them to store all their spare change, ready for their next big purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Donation<\/b><\/h3>\n

For a thoughtful <\/span>graduation money gift idea<\/span> for a close friend or <\/span>family member<\/span>, make a donation in their name to a cause that\u2019s close to their heart. This is a lovely way to honor their journey and give back to a charity or cause at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. <\/b>Student Loan<\/b> Repayment<\/b><\/h3>\n

One <\/span>college graduation gift<\/a><\/strong> that\u2019ll always be appreciated is some help toward paying off that <\/span>student loan<\/span>. This <\/span>monetary gift<\/span> is harder to pull off, but you can always make a smaller contribution by giving cash in an envelope along with a card that says what it\u2019s to be used for.<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Money Bouquet<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Bouquet<\/p>\n

If a <\/span>money cake<\/span> isn\u2019t your thing, why not create a money bouquet instead? Take the cash, fold it carefully into flower shapes, and arrange it into a bouquet. Tie it together with ribbon, and present it to the new high school or <\/span>college grad<\/span> at their celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Money Tissue Box Roll<\/b><\/h3>\n

Give a tissue box a new lease on life and turn it into a fun <\/span>graduation money gift idea<\/span>. Follow a <\/span>tissue box money roll tutorial<\/a><\/strong> to learn how to put together this gift that just seems to keep giving \u2014 perfect for when you want to make the recipient laugh at their <\/span>graduation party<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Hidden Money Gift<\/b><\/h3>\n

For a way to liven up a cash money gift, try hiding the money inside another gift. You could hide it inside a box of chocolates, a <\/span>gift box<\/span>, or a gift set filled with other small and thoughtful gifts. Just be sure to keep the money separate from any food!<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Graduation Pizza Box<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you want to trick the <\/span>grad<\/span>, this is a good <\/span>graduation money gift idea<\/span>. Take a pizza box and give it a <\/span>DIY<\/span> upgrade to make it the perfect backdrop for your amusing college or <\/span>high school graduation gift<\/span>. Instead of pizza, fill the box with cash, and watch for the <\/span>grad<\/span>\u2019s reaction as they open it.<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Money Confetti Popper<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make your <\/span>grad<\/span> smile with this joyful <\/span>gift idea<\/span>. Make your own confetti pops with eco-friendly confetti and reusable confetti cannons, then sneak a <\/span>dollar bill<\/span> into each one. As they pop the cannons at their <\/span>graduation<\/span> celebration, they\u2019ll get an extra surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Money Wreath<\/b><\/h3>\n

Make a statement with this <\/span>graduation money gift idea<\/span> that\u2019s big and bold. Wreaths aren\u2019t just for the holidays; they also make a wonderful <\/span>grad gift<\/span> too. Take a plain wreath and affix <\/span>dollar bills<\/span> to it to create a money wreath.<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Balloons Filled with Money<\/b><\/h3>\n

Upgrade the standard balloon experience and transform them into gifts by adding <\/span>dollar bills<\/span> inside. This works best with transparent balloons, especially if you can find some that come with colorful confetti too.<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Online <\/b>Gift Card<\/b><\/h3>\n

Growing up in Seattle provided me the opportunity to experience hiking, biking, fishing, camping \u2013 and enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. This love of the outdoors fueled my passion for Greenvelope, my start-up that provides an eco-friendly alternative to \"traditional\" printed invitations."}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19534"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19534\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
