One year we found the Christmas ornaments that open, and hung them on the tree. After the girls had opened their other gifts my DH said said he got the ornaments for their trees at home. They were shocked since they had gifts and it was a rather large amount, but both were in college and working full time too and we figured they could use some extra funds for a vacation.

DH has a serious Bojangles habit. A couple of years ago I could not come up with any gift for him. After several hours of hitting the stores I was frustrated and headed for home. I passed Bojangles, turned around and went in to get a gift card. I asked for ten $10 gift cards, ten boxes they put the sweet potato pies in and ten bags. I put the gift cards in the boxes, the boxes in the bags and stuck a bow on them. Christmas morning I put them under the tree and he still says it was one of the best gifts ever.

I did this when my grandchildren were smaller. They loved pulling the money out to see how much there was.
One year I used a square tissue box and I got new bills from the bank, taped them end to end and then rolled them up and put them in the box. I labeled the box a money box and instructions to only remove what was needed. Of course my grandson had to immediately pull it all out to see how much was there, but it was kind of fun anyway.

All my children have a higher disposable income than I do. I try to make them small things they will use.eg fingerless gauntlets for my daughter who complains the office is always too cold, or a "chalk bag: for my climber son.

Lynnie, my mind is a blank about the poems right now. 
. I may find I left one or two in a Christmas box so I will write a reply if I find any.
Here is an idea for a gas gift card for someone with a special friend that lives in another town:
Here is some gas money
So you can visit your honey.
