How to dress up cash gift?
An unemployed friend has a birthday coming up and she's trying to save up some cash for a gym membership. I'm going to give her cash, but there's got to be some fun way to dress it up so it's not just in a card, right? Any ideas?
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.

You could put it in an envelope then put it in a box, then put that box in a box...you get the idea.
You could also wrap the money in a towel she can take to the gym with a water bottle & energy bar.
That is such a nice thought!
Get her one of these water bottles (they come in other colors too). The bottle has a little compartment where you can fit your gym card, ID, cash and key. You could stick the cash inside of there. I have one of these water bottles and love it!

I like this idea. Whenever I have given money, I add more to it. Does she have an ipod? Maybe give her a $10 gift card worth of itunes so she can d/l new some new tunes?
That's cool! I wonder if anyone sells them locally? I wonder if REI would have them. Thanks for all the ideas, ladies!
Looks like there are bunch of US retailers that carry the brand. Not sure if any of them locally have that specific type of bottle though.
