ie graduation, Christmas, birthdays, etc?

Let's say $1-200 and it's a h.s or college graduation. Do you put it in a white envelope, in with a good luck graduation card, just slip them the cash, or the cash deposited in the gift card?

Don’t be cheap. Just pay for the $5 card.

Give it to me and I'll personally deliver it for you.

Don't overthink it. Put it in a cheap graduation/ birthday/whatever type card.

They only open it to see how much cash is there and then pretend to read it to be polite.

Or you can just give them the money handshake.

Put the cash in a congrats/good luck grad card and put that card inside of an envelope.

If they don't like to use cash, then they can take it to the bank themselves and deposit it into their checking account.

Delivered in a metal briefcase placed on a wooden desk strewn with documents and illuminated by one of those green banker's lamps.

hell yeah!!!

my best friend's daughter recently graduated from college and I sent her a card with a few hundred bucks inside, you would have thought I donated a kidney to her, she was so appreciative she called, and mailed a thank you note, brought her to tears actually, didn't think kids showed gratitude these days, was nice to see

In a briefcase, via a bag man, who will discreetly advise your expectations in return for said gift.

Hide it somewhere in their town, give a few vague, but moderately helpful clues.

See how long it takes them to find it.

From your mouth to their books like Steven Hawking at a titty bar.

Just put the money, gift card, or whatever in a card and seal it... Don't forget to write a good luck wish or something. Not that hard to figure out.

Just get the multi pack of cards for each occasion that specifically hold money. I got a few packs of 8 graduation ones last night for $6 each. Always have extra on hand for the unexpected so we aren't scrambling at the store where they only have $8 cards left.

Definitely in a card.

Since we’re talking about kids/young adults, you’re not just giving them a gift, you’re showing them there are proper ways to do things.
