Twist on a cash gift

Tom Hand, the head of Sherpa's Exchange practice and I, had a dilemma last week when trying to come up with an appropriate Christmas gift for the members of the Exchange technical team. With the varied interests and hobbies within the group, we would have had to shop around multiple vendors for gift cards. So instead, we decided to just give them cash. But to add a personal touch, Tom decided to put his origami skills to use and make these boxes out of the bills:




He filled each one of them with 2 pennies, returning each of their "2 cents" we got all year on the many political and economic discussions we frequently end up having in "Exchangeland". If you are stuck in a similar bind and are interested in sprucing up your cash gifts, here is a link to the origami site Tom used - http://members.cox.net/crandall11/money/

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of you.
