What do you do when your nieces and nephews ask for cash for Christmas and you don’t think that’s personal enough? According to this creative guy, you invent a unique way to pack it!

None of the kids wanted toys for Christmas this year, they just wanted cash. Understandable, but cash as a gift, while practical, always feels impersonal, so I made special packaging. Went over well pic.twitter.com/urXVCHtDyW

Donnachaidha Ó Chionnaigh is a graphic designer and video editor who found himself in front of an unusual challenge right before Christmas. Since his nephews and nieces didn’t want gifts for Christmas, only cash, he thought about finding a way to pack it in an unusual and memorable way. He designed the “packaging” inspired by old-school toys and the way they were packed. He put the cash inside little plastic boxes and glued them to the rest of the package.

– Found pics of 80s action figure packages on google (the old ones with the figures in plastic bubbles glued onto cardboard)

– Recreated them or heavily modified them in photoshop

– Printed them on cardstock, cut them to shape

– Used plastic boxes to put cash in, glued them on
