Creative Cash Gift for teens, any good ideas?

[jackspratswife01]

I have 2 teens and want to give them cash as their main Christmas present as well as other gifts. I want to add their cash to an item as a gift and wrap up, thinking fake notes personalised and put money in their account, in a maze as a gift. Are there any creative gift givers out there that have gifted cash/ vouchers in a brilliant way?

Treasure hunt, with money in a treasure chest at the end (and chocolate coins and beads/gems etc).

Stocking or lucky dip of small items, but everything has some cash with it.

I've bought these mini safes to put cash in for our teens. eu.flyingtiger.com/products/safe-3034413

Envelopes of cash hidden in a huge cardboard box full of homemade popcorn or shredded paper

This money 'pizza' would be fun for teens:

"You can't live on pizza, so here's some dough..."

A card in a jar that you then add tinsel to, you can add glitter and sweets or even battery operated fairy lights.

Inside an origami box - lots of 'how to' on YouTube.

Ping it to their phones with a nice message - depends on your phone and bank accounts.

In an advent calendar - put the cash or a note i the last door /drawer etc.
Actually if you get a fill it your self calendar you could make a cheque and then cut it up in to 25 pieces with the amount as the last piece - add chocolate as well so they don't just get some paper.

Inside something edible - are you having Xmas pudding you could put coins in or fortune cookies.

Rather than transfer cash you could give them a sovereign, or a half, or a quarter depending on how much money you intend to give.

They can then sell them or keep them for the future.

I’ve put it in balloons before and they unwrapped a pin in a box. Went down a treat.

These are fantastic ideas, thank you so much for the inspiration to do something different this year 😀

My DS likes money for Christmas/Birthday (rather than 'things' )
We used to give him a £50 note in a box but had to pay it into his account after ( you cannot spend a £50 in a lot of shops )

Last year (his 21st) he got a guitar+amp+other related items so we gave him a small amount of cash straight into his account and a card to say this .

One year I got a childrens book from Clinton (one of those "name" ones John Santa Needs Your Help ) and put a note ( £10/£20) in each page with a fancy paperclip .

No idea for this year though , he'll be 22 soon then Christmas !

I did post this exact question a few years ago jack as my DS has always liked money and saved ( Little Gollum that he is )

One of the ideas that was nice -and I might do this year- is a picture frame /glass front and fold up the notes , as artistic as you like .

I could do £20s/£10s/£5s like a peacock tail then cut out a peacock body from metallic card . Just have to work out how much he'll get now ..

Thank you for your sharing of ideas, I found a maze game on Amazon I may make a diy money voucher and add to the maze, then transfer to bank account 💡

Japanese puzzle box - you can get them with a window in the top so they can see the money inside, but they have to figure out the puzzle box to open it....
