My son is coming home from the military to spend the holidays with us for the first time in years and I know the best thing to give him for Christmas this year will be cash.
Usually, I ship him some gifts, but this year he won’t have a lot of extra room to take back gifts when he goes home. So I knew I was going to give cash this year. Still, I want him to have something fun to open while everyone else is opening gifts.
Thankfully there are a lot of really great ideas for gifting cash that is sure to be a big hit with the receiver. Plus it will be a lot of fun watching him open his Christmas Gift this year too!
Here are 15 money gift ideas for Christmas that are sure to be well received!

- Money Topiary – You know, you want to give something “crafty” but not everyone appreciates crafts, not to mention those that are just hard to give gifts to – this is the solution! Crafty (cause you love that) but when it boils down to it, it’s just a pile of money (others love that!).
I love all of the different money holder ideas for cash and this beats just giving the standard gift card that I would usually opt for.
Unlike gift cards, money can be used anywhere and will always make a great gift for anyone.
