Due to the financial crisis in Lebanon for the past three years, instead of making bouquets by buying flowers at expensive prices, an entrepreneur has started exchanging gifts for the public in the form of bouquets with cash. 

According to Arab News. Tamara Al Hariri, 30, from Lebanon, has come up with a creative alternative to overpriced bouquets and expensive 'flowers' as a modern version of gifts for loved ones and friends. 

In Lebanon, people can now give bouquets of cash instead of flowers.

Talking to a Lifestyle correspondent, the creative lady said, "I thought instead of buying the most expensive flowers and making bouquets and selling them, I should find an alternative. 

It's a fact that there is no substitute for flowers." Maybe, but it's better than offering a bouquet of flowers in these situations. 

On a birthday or a happy occasion, ordinary people can give each other cash and help their loved ones.

Tamara Hariri said that she started the business last month and so far has made about 50 of this special type of bouquet, which is two a day. 

It takes 30 minutes to an hour to make and if you want to add more beauty, it takes a little more time. 

These special bouquets are being made with Lebanese Pounds or US Dollars, but those made with US Dollars More care is taken with the bouquet.

It should be noted that these days, the price of a bouquet of flowers in Lebanon is between 1.5 and 2 million Lebanese pounds between 50 and 65 US dollars, due to this high price, the bouquet making industry is facing an economic crisis. 

Due to the shortage, more than 30 percent of the flowers cultivated in Lebanon had to be lost. 

He said that in these circumstances it is very important to help each other in Lebanon, I think that maybe the university students are the same. 

Or employees and other needy people can be helped with such a bouquet instead of money.

Tamara Hariri said that the price of each bouquet depends on the value of the notes on it, while the cost of making it is very low and usually between five and ten dollars, which is our profit. 

I am sure this idea will be liked in other cities in Lebanon. 

It should be noted that Lebanon has been in the grip of an unprecedented economic crisis since 2019, with the country's currency depreciating by more than 90 percent and nearly 80 percent of the population living in poverty. Living life below the line.
