Giving cash as a gift? Boring. Impersonal. And let's be honest, it's kind of a copout for when you don't know what to get somebody.

But if you're going to give cash, do it right. Twitter user @TwoClawsMedia is showing us how.

He explained on Twitter that the kids in his family wanted cash for Christmas. "Understandable, but cash as a gift, while practical, always feels impersonal, so I made special packaging."

It's still cash, but in extremely cool self-made packaging resembling brands from Funko to Star Wars. It's all the excitement of getting to open a present combined with the practicality of cash. The impeccable designs were created in Photoshop and printed on cardstock, according to the user.

Gone are the days of cracking open a Christmas card and watching $10 sink to the floor. This creative way of gifting cash adds fun and personality to an otherwise boring gift exchange, and it really fits the bill.
