Wife of Washington Lobbyist Uses Money as Wrapping Paper

Filed under: Wealth


When it comes to gifts usually it's what's on the inside that counts, but that's not necessarily the case for the gifts Edwina Rogers gives -- she wraps her presents in money. Uncut sheets of real, government-issued, dollar bills.

The wife of Washington lobbyist Ed Rogers gets the money sheets from the United States Bureau of Engraving (you can order them for yourself here) and then slices and dices as you would any wrapping paper to best fit the gift and get the best pattern on the front of the package (in this case it's lining up Washington's face just right). No matter that she regularly cuts several bills in half in the process, to be frugal she sticks to the dollar paper and only uses it to wrap "small" gifts.

A sheet of money paper consisting of 32 $1 bills sells for $55.

Delia Braided Wrap Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

This gorgeous bag is part casual, part western and completely sexy. The Goldenbleu Delia Braided Wrap Bag is a large satchel-style bag made of fine, soft leather that measures an impressive 15x11x6-inches. The thick braided shoulder strap is comfortable and matches the long braided strap that wraps loosely around the sides of the bag. Available in both cream and British tan (pictured), the bag boasts a suede lining, a magnetic clasp and pouch pockets to hold things like your keys, cellphone and wallet, though it can fir just about anything. On top of loving the look, I love that this bag is made in the USA. Price $627.
