I always end up giving my older nieces and nephews (teenagers) money for Christmas. I try to be fun about it. Making a chain out of $1 bills. Tying ribbons around it and hiding it in the tree. One year my nephew got a box of dimes. I worked at a bank and bought a box from the merchant teller.
This year I am going to use this idea and wrap my rolled coins to look like candy!

You have sooo many fun ideas and I love the photography. Is it your own work? Really nice.
I love this idea!!!! My kids are all about getting money for Christmas but many don't like giving money ~ this is a perfect idea.
Thanks for following & right back at you!
You are too clever!
This is a great idea. We always give everyone gift cards. It's what they want. I know some people think that they are thoughtless gifts but I would rather give that than something they don't want and have to take back.
Very cute!
Um, you give all your nieces and nephews gifts for Christmas? You are amazing.
GREAT idea!!
I think I just had a small heart attack. Your nieces and nephews are now TEENAGERS?!?!?!?! You surely can't be talking about those darling little children that I remember from your house...
Tink - I love photography too, but those are SO not my pictures. The picture credits are always in the post. Either under the picture or linked in the post somewhere!!
Kelly - on my side of the family we do (because there are not that many and we only do presents for the kids) and on hubbys side of the family the kids switch names, but since there are only 7 cousins and 3 of them belong to me, we end up buying a present for almost everyone. (There is only one we are not buying for and that just seems silly...so we might have to buy C something toO!
Lise,
I hate to freak you out, but they are not only teenagers, most of them are ADULTS!! 21, 19, and 16!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
That is such a great idea! You should post pics when you do it!
I love it! What a cute idea. I would have never guessed what was inside :) Very clever.
That's so cute!
Yeah I do cash for the teens too....
WHAT A CUTE CUTE IDEA! thanks so much!
You have so many cool ideas!
Is is OK if I pinch this one? It's too cool not to!
Linked from SITS. Have been here before, but I'll be back again if that's OK!
This looks so professional. Hope they don't try to eat the candy. Thanks for visiting my blog.
That is the cutest idea ever!!
I LOVE this idea!

I'm sorry, but that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I don't mean to call you a liar, but, seriously, you're lying, right? I think I just aged 10 years...
I love this! Totally festive and who doesn't love to get money! I wish I would have seent his before I sent my package off to my nephew! Too cute!
