When our nephew moved in with us my guy and I agreed to accept money from him each month as rent -- at least, that's what our nephew thought. In reality we don't want his money, but he was too proud to live with us for free. So we put it aside and saved it for when he bought his new house. We intended to give it all back to him as a house-warming gift so he has the cash for all the expenses that come with a new home.
The funny thing is that every time we go out I ask my nephew if he needs anything, and he always says "a bag of money." That's why I hauled out my very rusty cross stitch skills to embroider the label for this bag.
Forgive the blurriness of these pics; he moves fast. He also had no idea when he came back from closing on the new house that he was getting this.
He thought it was a joke, until he looked inside and saw it was, actually a bag of money. He started to refuse it, at which point I stepped in with a threat so dire -- and genuine -- that he had no choice but to accept the bag of money.
Best gift ever.
