this is my own opinion.

I would use play money and put real stuff in card/envelope.

Make it fun and mix the real money with the fake money!

I wouldn't even do a money tree. Put the money in the card,

It was a cute idea though, or I thought so anyway?

In my mailbox yesterday...

how about a metal money tree that can be used afterwards for photos?

About three years ago I went looking for H. Carter online to see if still in business, I wanted one of those screens above you are showing. Sure enough they have a catalog online. I found the screen at one of my local Walmarts so bought it there. I could not believe I remembered this company when I began my search. https://www.harrietcarter.com/

I would not put play money on the tree. What's the recipient supposed to do with that?

I'd make the money tree and not use fake money. The one below would not look bald without the money.

@beckyb1012 I do remember Lillian Vernon, I used to shop through their catalog quite often!

I stopped getting catalog's years ago, but just yesterday I received a catalog from Duluth Trading, the first catalog I have received in I do not even remember how long!

I personally would rather not get catalogs and do my shopping on line, companies spend so much money on the printing & the mailing and most of it ends up in our recycable bins or worse our land fills.
