FUN Idea For Giving Ca$h As A Gift!!

Hi everyone!

I have been neglecting my blog lately.  I don't intend on that, but it happens.  Now that I post videos for my projects rather than just taking pictures, it is so much easier for me to just upload a video than write out a blog post.  (Especially since being on the computer makes me nauseous.)  I just wanted to say that I do have some new videos up, if you're interested you can check out my YT HERE

I do have some pictures to go along with a video today.  This is a gift that I gave my nephew a couple days ago for his 8th birthday.  He is going to Disneyland, so I wanted to give him some "fun money" to spend while he is there.   Well, I don't like just giving cash or a gift card.  I like to try and make it special or unique.  So this is what I did:
Here are the pictures of the finished gift:  (Keep in mind that I KNOW the bow does NOT match the wrapping!  Lol.)  I "wrapped" the box in Sport-themed Duct Tape!!  The bow, is the colors of his favorite team, that's why it doesn't coordinate too well hahaha!

This is the wrapped box with the "pull" tag hanging out
 Here is a pic showing the "pull" tag attached to the first dollar bill:
 A Closer view:
 Here is the GIANT bow (to hide the hole where the money comes out, and to hide the rest of the "pull" tag:
 Another view: (I use these huge bows, so that it just looks like a gift tag with the persons name on it.  Then you tell them to read the tag, and the FUN begins!!!!)
 This is just the box and the card together:

This is SUCH a fun gift to give!  It is so awesome to watch the person just pull and pull and pull the cash out of the box, all taped together, one dollar at a time!! Haha.

Hope you like my gift idea!!  Thanks for stopping by today!

  1. Love love love this idea. I'll bet your nephew enjoys pulling all the money out. How fun! I like how you hide the slot with the big bow so it looks like a regular present. Great idea. And, you know, I just love that card. The castle is amazing.
