Our Birthday girl wanted a "Money Tree" for her Birthday gift from her Pops and Shug.
In just a little over a month, Mylee will be leaving, with her School, for a Missions Trip.
She intends to use her Birthday Money for things needed as she prepares to travel.
It has been way to wet for me to go out and look for branches to make a tree, so I chose to make her a money Bouquet. I found this rose bouquet at "Home Goods" and thought surely I can do something with this.
I put these unique flowers in a vase and filled the bottom half of the vase with coins. I then finished filling up the vase with dollar bills. I wrapped the flower stems with different denominations of bills and I did the same thing in and around the middle of the roses.
It was a big HIT.
Her mom and dad had a similar idea for their gift.
Shan took a box of Kleenex and placed her money in between some of the Kleenex's. Mylee had to go through all of them to make sure she didn't leave any bills behind.
(No Kleenex's were damaged in this process....they all went back in the box)
She had a great day!!
Note * This picture was taken last Spring, before she let her hair go to it's natural color.
Wake up with a Smile and Go after Life!!
Shug....💓
Her hair is pretty any color! What a great idea about the money. The Kleenex was cute but the bouquet was gorgeous. Hey, my birthday is this month - lol.
ReplyDeleteGood job with the gift presentation!
ReplyDeleteLove the creativity and fun of the money tree. Also love me some HomeGoods. That store and their baking and cooking section. I love hunting for good deals. Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteboth were super ideas and fun and made the gift a lot more fun than money in a card, which is ME to the bone. love the magazine starry your beautiful girl..
ReplyDeleteWhat a novel idea ... both of them, actually! You and your daughter make gift-giving such fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover girl 'magazine shoot.'
I agree with Myra, that cover girl pose is A+++. She is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love that she wanted her gift to be for going on her mission trip. MJ has her head on straight for sure.
So clever and down right beautiful money bouquet!!!
Have a great rest of the weekend.

You’re very creative. I bet she was thrilled. So where is she going on her mission trip?
ReplyDeleteWhat clever gifts those were. I bet she loved them. That's a great magazine cover with her picture .
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed! That was very creative. And she's putting the money to a good cause!
ReplyDeleteShug, you have totally OUTDONE yourself!!!! Who cares about a tree when this bouquet is so gorgeous!!! Your creativity continues to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteThat was such a great idea. I'm with MadSnapper, I would never have thought of something like that.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, it looks like the perfect gift!
ReplyDeleteCute and original gift idea, and more useful than giving merchandise. Hope she's not traveling to Papua New Guinea, remember what happened to Joe Biden's uncle Bosie who he said was probably eaten by cannibals.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a cute idea. Happy birthday Mylee!!! Wishing you a lovely day my friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative idea, and I really like the rose bouquet from Home Goods. It looks florescent. I hope she has a wonderful and safe time on her Missions Trip. So nice that she has some extra money now for her travels. That will come in handy. ; )
