Some Basic Guidelines. The Tree: You can either go for an actual potted plant or a tree branch or a symbolic tree decorated with money and other accessories. First of all, you have to decide, whether you want an artificial tree or a real one. If you go for the real one, you can either choose an indoor plant or houseplant (which can be used), or a branch of a real tree (can be discarded after use).

They say money doesn’t grow on trees, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a tree out of money. Money trees are a unique way to give money as a gift.

I remember my aunt giving me a money tree as a gift when I was growing up and I loved it. The best part about receiving a money tree as a gift is that you can tell the person giving it actually put some effort into creating it. Also, since the gift is literally just money it means that you get to decide how you want to spend it!

Money trees make excellent gifts for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and other events. Plus, they’re way more fun to give (and receive) than just a wad of cash.

In this post I share 9 easy money tree gifts that you can create from scratch.
