How to give an original birthday gift to a man or woman

Hello dear friends! - What should I give you? – this is a question we can afford to ask our family and closest friends. But they are not always ready to answer what they would like to receive as a birthday present. And here an envelope with money comes to the rescue, which has long ceased to be something indecent for a holiday.

Nowadays, the procedure for congratulating money is more solemn, and guests are increasingly puzzled by how to give money in an original way for their birthday..

This is a kind of lifesaver with which you can save time searching for a gift, if you also need to do it urgently.

This option is especially suitable for busy people. And it’s easier for the birthday boy himself: he’ll buy his loved one something that he likes or needs at the moment.

Today we have a money topic, namely: giving money for your birthday. But the question is: how to give them? I remember when I was a child, a friend’s grandfather, not spoiled when it came to gifts, upon learning that one of his grandchildren had a birthday, would take out a few coins or one piece of paper money from a secret jacket pocket and hand it to her.

- Birthday you say? Save on the candy!

And the whole crowd of us and the birthday girl ran to the store to spend our own money.

How not to give

First, a little about what situations it is undesirable to create when presenting money to the birthday person.

Take out your wallet at the table and count out the required amount in front of the guests and the hero of the occasion. A certain amount must be prepared in advance and should not be in the wallet, but at least in a simple envelope. It would be better, of course, if it was a gift envelope, which you need to take care of in advance.
You should not announce to guests how much you gave to the birthday person. But it is also undesirable to hand it over in silence. A short congratulatory speech is quite appropriate when presenting the treasured envelope.
Try not to put shabby money in the envelope that has lost its outer luster. Select banknotes, if not new, then at least in decent appearance.
There is no need to put change in the envelope unless it is planned according to the script.
If there are two birthday people in the family on the same day, then prepare a couple of envelopes. Handing over money in one envelope and offering to split it is completely unacceptable. Each birthday person has the right to his own birthday, so the bags must be individually for each of them.

Now let's talk about a creative way of presentation. Although banknotes simplify the procedure for finding a gift, a creative approach will not hurt, and your envelope will not fade against the backdrop of bright gifts. In this case, humor always helps))

We give it as a joke

- Cool! - said a friend's niece as her turtle crawled into the room with a small box on its back. It turned out that the guest congratulated her on her birthday in this way)) There was money in the box.

One good friend was also given money for his birthday, and they played a prank on him.

Everyone was giving gifts, but one of the guests was empty-handed. The doorbell rang and a man appeared on the threshold, very similar to the postman Pechkin from the cartoon “Three from Prostokvashino”. Imitating the voice of a cartoon character, he offered to present a passport to receive a particularly valuable letter.

The birthday boy was even confused at some point: to believe or not to believe. In the hands of the postman there was indeed a package tied with coarse thread. Curious guests surrounded the “postman” who insisted on presenting documents. At the same time, he showed his ID (homemade, of course). As a result, I handed over the package, it was immediately opened, and it turned out to be money.

The donor was the same guest who came empty-handed. Well, then we found out that the postman Pechkin was played by an actor from a local theater. And I must say, everyone liked it. It was funny, original, and heartfelt.

Money in a glass jar will also make you smile.
You can invite the birthday person to check his chair or armchair. For a surprise, you just need to secure the money to the seat of the chair from the inside in advance.
If you sew a small cushion for the sofa and invest money in it, you will get a two-in-one gift. The money will be spent, the pillow will remain as a piece of furniture.
You can buy a toy house in a children's store. Give a gift to the birthday person with the wish that there will always be finances in the house. Looking inside the toy, the birthday boy will see the money invested in it.
Make a poster with brand new banknotes placed under the glass. The birthday boy will decide when to use the contents of the picture.

Where can I find ideas to give money in an original way? In communication with the birthday boy. The better you know the hero of the occasion, the greater the chances of congratulating him in an unusual way. If you understand jokes, you can use humor, if you appreciate a creative approach, we think about how to beat the presentation or pack banknotes in an unusual way.

Sophisticated gifts made from money with your own hands

This section of gift ideas contains videos with detailed master classes. There are jokes, complex puzzles, surprises, and original solutions. In general, read and watch, you will definitely like something.

Money cake. A great anniversary gift because you will need a lot of banknotes for decoration. You will also need cardboard, scissors, glue and a box of paper clips. The money is rolled into tubes and attached to cardboard circles of different diameters as three “layers”.
Smiley. A very positive surprise - you pull the smiley face’s tongue and take out money. To work, you need white paper, corrugated cardboard, PVA and hot glue, acrylic paints, scissors, transparent tape and a little of your personal imagination.
Bouquet of money. It doesn’t matter who this bouquet is intended for, a man or a woman, it will please representatives of any gender. It is advisable that the bills be of small denomination, because you will have to make a luxurious bouquet with many buds.
"Savings book". It is made in the style of scrapbooking - an album with paper decor. The video tutorial shows how this book is made and where the money is placed. But you will have to come up with jokes for each page yourself.
Origami in the form of a shirt. The “shirt” consists of just one bill, everything is very simple. This kind of money can be given to a fashionista, a business person or a white collar worker, for example, to a colleague.
Origami in the form of a dress. And this is a woman’s gift, and is also made from one banknote. A good present for a friend, mother or daughter. It can be supplemented, for example, with a small chocolate bar to make it look a little more voluminous.
Painting "Money growing on a tree." In order not to draw a trunk with branches yourself, you can download a ready-made picture, as the master class leader did. But the “fruits” on the tree will be banknotes. The result is original.
Money in Kinder Surprise. There is a surprise in any Kinder, but it is placed during production at the factory. From the video tutorial you will learn how to cleverly remake a chocolate egg and hide your gift in it.
A ship with sails made of banknotes. From the master class you will learn everything, even how to make a ship hull from a wooden block. And real banknotes will develop on the masts and yards! You can add anything else to the gift, at your discretion.
Money printing machine. Is it really possible to do it yourself? Yes Easy. Then you need to insert a white piece of paper into the machine, and a real bill will come out. Of course, this is a trick, but you will learn how to solve it and make the machine itself from the video tutorial.
Garland of money. This garland should not be hung up right away. It is best to put it in a box from which only the top 2-3 bills will be visible. But by pulling the thread, the birthday boy will see that there is a lot of money, and the donor was not greedy at all.
Magic wallet with banknotes. This trick is already quite “ancient”, invented in the USSR. But as you know, everything new is well forgotten old. No matter how you twist your wallet, the money will still remain in it, just from different sides.
Puzzle with a banknote. A very cool gift, but you will have to tinker a little with it - both for the giver himself when making it, and for the birthday boy when solving the puzzle. But at least there will be something to do at the birthday celebration.
Box with a surprise. In principle, what the surprise will be is already clear - it’s money. And thanks to the master class, you will learn how to assemble an extraordinary box. Judging by the abundance of hearts in it, such a surprise is intended as a gift for a loved one.
Money in a roll of toilet paper. Well, this is the simplest gift, but nevertheless very cool. There are bills hidden along the entire length of the roll - one every 5-10 cm. Let the birthday boy unwind it and wonder - how many meters are there in your generosity?!

Now you know exactly how to give money in an original way. All the ideas are wonderful because when making such gifts, the giver thought about the reaction of the birthday boy, showed attention and respect to him!

We present it beautifully

Giving money beautifully means giving it delicately, sincerely, and in a good mood.

The design of the gift also matters: packaging of banknotes, congratulations in words or written on a postcard.
You can order the birthday boy’s favorite song on the radio with the condition that it will be played at a certain time. And after the musical gift, give an envelope with money.
You can interestingly design the monetary gift that you will give. An original box, casket, or package in the form of a valuable parcel is suitable for packing a sum of money.
In this case, indoor plants will also help, in a pot with which you can put money or decorate the flower itself with them.

From relatives

Relatives are people whom the newlyweds have known all their lives, so unusual congratulations are subconsciously expected from them.

It’s also not uncommon lately to see weddings from friends.
Wise advice, original toasts and words are rarely spoken by loved ones. After all, most often they congratulate from the bottom of their hearts and begin, embarrassed, to give out platitudes.
This attitude can upset the newlyweds, who will feel that their holiday was not taken seriously. To prevent this from happening, and to ensure that congratulations remain in memory for many years, relatives can create theatrical scenes.

Such performances will appeal not only to the bride and groom, but also to everyone around them.

Scene - congratulations from the star

This play demonstrates to newlyweds that even if they cannot afford to invite a celebrity to the celebration, relatives will always help find a replacement. The main thing is that the newlyweds have a favorable attitude towards the media person who will be parodied. A cheerful mood and a charge of positivity are guaranteed to everyone.

Props:

costume of the star who will be parodied;
song;
wide black glasses;
mobile phone;
decorations, if they congratulate you from the stage.

To begin with, one of the relatives dresses up as a star, and the second as a producer. When the time comes to congratulate, the manager comes out, feigns importance, and talks on the phone.

When he sees where he has come, he turns to the host to find out the names of the couple.

Having found out, he begins to congratulate the newlyweds and say that he has a gift for them.

Here he steps aside, and the sound engineer turns on the soundtrack. A mummer appears, beginning to imitate the celebrity and how she sings. The composition should be chosen related to the holiday or newlyweds.

But if the performer does not have such a song, then it will do with romantic or funny lyrics. When the performance ends, the producer says that there is one more modest congratulation from the star. At these words, the second mummer takes the microphone from the presenter, uttering a few warm words. It will also be great if there is not just one “star”, but several people perform.

The result will be a small concert that will amuse everyone present.

We give money to a woman

We always give flowers, regardless of the gift. A bag of money can be placed inside the bouquet.
You can use balloons. Having tied the balls all together, attach a box or bag of money to the connecting thread. Give it indoors, it’s better not to experiment outdoors - they can literally fly away. But at home it turns out original.
Place the money inside the balloon where it can be clearly seen.
Present the lady with an elegant box containing money.
When presenting a bouquet of sweets, diversify it with banknotes.
You can give money by investing it in a soft toy. This gift is suitable for a girl.
Try making a postcard in the shape of a flower or butterfly with your own hands by placing banknotes inside.
Money can be presented in an exclusive bag with original embroidery or presented on a tray.
You can take a holiday box, put money in it and tie it with a bow. In any case, the gift should look attractive and elegant.

Undoubtedly, money is a convenient gift option for both parties, if it is known for sure that the birthday person is waiting for a gift in the form of banknotes, and not a certificate for a cosmetics store.

Friends, I wish you a creative approach to money) Even a simple packaging tape will serve you as a design for banknotes. And also add the mood with which you will give the gift.

May everything work out wonderfully for you. I wish you prosperity and good luck in all your endeavors. And I hope you subscribe to blog updates. In it you can find ideas for your holidays and just pleasant events) Tell your friends about the article if they don’t already know
