1.) "Open When" Letters This is a pretty amazing gift that has gained popularity over the years. You take envelopes and decorate them.

Amber MatthewsPublished 6 years ago in LifehackNew App May Help You Earn Side Cash??
Lots of apps claim to help you earn money on the side, but a lot of them are ridiculous and I have pretty much tried them all.

My fingers are still cramping and after a month I wasn't even close.
