[money talk/graduation/cake day] With my end of semester and my birthday being on the same day, and with me moving to a new city, I am trying to find a nice way to tell my relatives DON'T SEND GIFTS JUST SEND MONEY PLEASE

OR AN AMAZON GIFT CARD I WILL ACCEPT EITHER BUT PLEASE

I DON'T NEED THINGS I JUST NEED CASH

"At this transitional phase in my life, the most meaningful gift is the ability to take care - if you are considering sending an item, consider sending a gift card/fillable visa/etc of a similar amount, which would make a much bigger difference to my situation."

That's a lovely way to put it
