The Giftigami Box

The GiftigamiTM box (introduced in my first book Ebram's Story: The Haunting) is an origami-like box made from various papers and decorated according the preferences of the person making it. It is meant to contain either money or strips of paper which record good deeds and, as such, is intended to foster a spirit of helping others. This little poem from the book should give you the idea!

  

Example Giftigami Box

The Giftigami Box
Christmas is for every day,
This special box will show.
Collect your money in this way,
And watch your treasure grow.
You're given talents from above
To improve the world around.
Write down your deeds with love
Fill the box 'til it abounds.
At each month's end you'll spend
Your treasure serving others.
And share one deed you've penned
Helping one another.
Christmas is for every day,
The Giftigami box will show.
Your treasure/talent/time are ways
To change the world we know.
