After getting to know that his nieces and nephews wanted cash rather than toys for Christmas, video editor, and awesome graphic designer Donnachaidha Ó Chionnaigh of Two Claws Media chose to make the display a bit more interesting. He printed out designs on cardstock, place the cash in a plastic bubble and put it all collectively so that it looked like an old-school toy blister pack. This way the gifted cash looked customized for a person, like the gifts they were supposed to be in the first place.
None of the kids wanted toys for Christmas this year, they just wanted cash. Understandable, but cash as a gift, while practical, always feels impersonal, so I made special packaging. Went over well pic.twitter.com/urXVCHtDyW

– I made them sized to print on 8.5"x11" paper except the Funko one, which I formatted for 11"x17". Actual Funko boxes are bigger than that, but I wanted the bill to fill the window. Here's the pic I made if you want to do your own. pic.twitter.com/PbMiiGw2B2

– Found pics of 80s action figure packages on google (the old ones with the figures in plastic bubbles glued onto cardboard)
– Recreated them or heavily modified them in photoshop
– Printed them on cardstock, cut them to shape
– Used plastic boxes to put cash in, glued them on
