Ca$h

It may not seem like a creative gift, but let’s face it…young adults appreciate and need money. There are many ways to add a creative twist to gifting cash. Replace chocolates with money in a box of chocolates. Or fill a Mason jar with bills and add decorative touches (ribbon, candy, confetti) in school colors. If you are truly creative, you could make a money wreath. And if you are not particularly crafty, write a check made out for $20.19 (Get it? 2019?) and place it in a copy of Dr. Seuss’ Oh the Places You’ll Go! 

Gift Cards

In addition to cash, gift cards to favorite restaurants, coffee shops, frequently-visited retailers or Uber and Lyft are always welcome. Fill a cute wristlet or wallet with a handful of gift cards. Design a gift card “bouquet.”
