One was cash since many students are short on cash. There are a myriad of creative, fun, and unique ways to present that cash–a money lei, Christmas Tree cash, fancy money origami–which shows that the giver did indeed put some time and thought into the gift.

I think the interesting takeaway from that study isn’t that cash makes the perfect Christmas present but that gift receivers generally hold gift givers to lower standards than the gift givers themselves do.

If you don’t care enough about the person to figure out what they would like, don’t go through the pretense of giving a gift (of cash) as if you do.
