This is how I wrapped my grandson's high school graduation gift .... I had an envelope with cash in it, plus a watch ~ and put them into a tall glass with a graduation decal (which I bought at the dollar store). It can easily be adapted to fit any other occasion, and is much cuter than just handing someone an envelope!
Need: 1 large glass or mug
small bubble wrap ....................... wrapping paper ...................... filler ............................ribbon
a small gift (or even some favorite flavor jelly bellies)
cash, check or gift certificate in a card & envelope
Suggestions for something else small to stick in there: jelly bellies, M&Ms, or Hershey Kisses ~ a key chain ~ a pretty barrette ~ jewelry (earrings, necklace, bracelet, anklet) ~ a packet of drawer sachet ~ car air freshener ~ cosmetics or a pretty new nail polish ~ jerky or beef sticks
***
I stuck the envelope into the glass, and then put the watch in with it (wrapped lightly in some bubble wrap). (1) Cut a piece of small bubble wrap big enough to fit up the sides of the glass. Put the glass in the middle of the bubble wrap and pull up the sides, then roll the glass so it's tightly covered and tape it. (2) Cut a piece of wrapping paper large enough to fit up the sides of the glass ~ put the glass in the center of it, pull up the sides ~ then roll the glass so the paper is tight against the bubble wrap and tape securely. (I also taped the bottom, so it would be flat). (3) Stick some filler into the top of the glass, and tie a ribbon around it. No exterior card is needed since you have a card inside the glass.
