Easy Gifts for Kids - Creative Idea for Giving Cash

Carolyn's Crinkled Cash Gift for Kids

If your time is running out during this hectic holiday season, try this nifty gift idea.  Keep this one around for that last minute birthday party gift too, just in case your little one forgets to tell you until the morning of the party.

This gift works great for a child ten and under but if they love money, any adult, teen or tween will be equally satisfied.  When opened, the little ones will be in shock and awe.  My cousin gave my nephew this gift and he was WOW-ed when he opened it.  I think he thought he had hit the jackpot because it looked like a ton of cash to him.  He was truly visibly in a little state of shock which made it fun for the adults to watch too.

Using a decorative gift box that suits the recipient, crinkle twenty (ish) $1 bills and place in the box with some loose coins.  When the child opens the gift, he or she will see a huge amount of money inside.  This gift is so simple that you will probably find some spare time to move on to another task on your endless list of things to do before next week.
