12 Creative Ways To Give Graduates Money

As I mentioned in my Graduation Party Printables post my twin boys are graduating this year. I have a lot of mixed feelings about it but regardless of how I feel, it’s happening. Since they are graduating it means we are invited to a LOT Of open houses. I don’t really want to hand them a card with a check in it so I wanted to come up with some creative ways to give graduates money. Of course to do that I headed to Pinterest to do some searching and here are some things I found.

Why people have been giving gifts for thousands of years

Why people have been giving gifts for thousands of years You’d be surprised to know the practical origin of exchanging presents. With the holiday season in full swing, gifts take center stage. But that's nothing new ... because, as it turns out, giving gifts is pretty well embedded in our natures. Dr. Hadas Weiss, an Israeli anthropologist at Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies, has found that people who give gifts want to do more than be nice; they want to help society run smoothly. "They want their activities to constitute a society wherein everyone helps everyone else in reciprocal fashion, to everyone's ultimate benefit," Weiss told From The Grapevine. And that's nothing new. In the past, gift-giving was more than just a nice thing to do: it was an integral foundation of society. For instance, everyone knows that before people invented money, they bartered. One person might trade  Israeli couscous  for, say, her neighbor's  freshly ...

What’s the Difference Between a Gift and a Present? It’s that time again when we’re busy buying, wrapping, and giving them. Sometimes we call them gifts, sometimes presents. Is there a difference? The words come to us from different language families.  Gift  comes from the old Germanic root for “to give.” It referred to an act of giving, and then, to the thing being given. In Old English it meant the dowry given to a bride’s parents.  Present  comes from the French for "to present." A present is the thing presented or bestowed. They were both in use for the idea of something undergoing a transfer of possession without expectation of payment from the 13th century onward. The words  gift  and  present  are well-matched synonyms that mean essentially the same thing, but even well-matched synonyms have their own connotations and distinctive patterns of use.  Gift  applies to a wider range of situations. Gifts can be talents. ...
