When holidays and other celebrations like weddings and graduations roll around, there’s always a question of what to get your loved ones. Money expert Clark Howard says the answer is simple: Cash!
Money is the most useful and versatile gift that you can give — and no one has to deal with receipts or returns. If you feel like giving money is too impersonal or crass, we have a way to jazz it up!
Making money origami puts a thoughtful spin on a simple, useful gift that your loved one will definitely appreciate. This extra effort eliminates the feeling of tackiness and gives it a personal touch that shows you put a little extra thought into your gift.

Here is the final result:
