Calamity Kris Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Uno's birthday is coming up. The item he would like is something he will have to purchase himself, to ensure it is exactly the right thing. I would like to give him the funds to purchase his gift but I don't want to hand him a gift card or an envelope with cash. Any ideas on how I can creatively present him with the funds?

Rye Miles #13621 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I assume you know where he's going to go to get this item?? If you do, then you can make arrangements with the store to tell him it's paid for! Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Find a photo of it and put it in the Birthday card with a note... "Go get it". My wife did that to me one birthday and it was great. I went and got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 I like the idea of a treasure map. At each "clue" he will find another dollar. Unfortunately, the two items he has told me he's really interested in, he is negotiating with persons for a private sale. I can't let someone in on the deal if I don't know who or where they are, hence the request for ideas. Thanks and keep 'em coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Doggle Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 A little box with the cash/gift card inside, neatly gift wrapped, inside a little bigger box, inside a little bigger box, and so on until you get tired of wrappin. Or, you run out of boxes. Ya gots ta make 'um work for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruff Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Custom made gift certificate done on the computer? If you need help, holler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ruff beat me to it. One year, long ago, my father and we three boys made a custom, hand-drawn gift certificate and gave it to Mama for Christmas. The Sewing Machine of her choice. None of us knew a thing about sewing machines, but we knew that she'd been grumbling that hers was old and worn out. So this was, "You find what you want, and we'll fetch it to the house". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
