Inventive way to give money for someone's Birthday!

My friends Birthday is really soon but I didn't know what to get her so I decided to give her money but I wanted an inventive way to give it to her so this is what I came up with... (by the way she loves tea and Lady Gaga!)

Birthday Card shaped like a mug with a lady Gaga bookmark, 2 tea bags and some money in it.

It was really easy to make I just found a mug template on the internet and edited it in word to get the Lady gaga picture on it. The template is below if for any strange reason you might actually want it :D

And this is the link for the bookmark in case you were looking for it...
