I can’t believe my first born is SIXTEEN!!! My goodness do they grow up so fast! I still think of him as the little boy on the left even though he is so much taller than me! 😉 If any of you have teenagers, you may know the struggle of buying gifts… if it’s a birthday gift or a holiday gift! Like most teens, they just want money. That includes Dylan. Thankfully, he’s really good at saving his money.
I try to make his birthday gifts creative instead of just giving him a gift card or a card with money inside. That’s so boring! I wanted to share these with you if you have kids who have a birthday coming up or are graduating!
10 MONEY GIFT IDEAS FOR TEENS.
1) The first money gift idea for teens is MONEY FRIES! It’s what I had given Dylan this year for his 16thi birthday! Watch his reaction below. Love seeing that big smile! It can be hard sometimes getting huge smiles like that from teenagers so this was a big deal. 😉
I included 20 $5 bills, but you can also do 20 $1 bills.
2) Another money gift idea for your teenager is a PIZZA DOUGH! This is what I had done last year when he turned 15 years old! He was so surprised when his little siblings gave him a pizza box..lol!
3) Would you like a BOX OF MONEY “CHOCOLATES?”
4) MONEY FORTUNE COOKIE! You can have the money as the cookie like this:
You can also use paper as the cookie and then insert cash and a note:
5) MONEY CAKE! You can make a 3 tier money cake and do it yourself.
You can also purchase a money cake if you don’t have time to make one! Here’s an option from ETSY!
6) MONEY TISSUE BOX! “Don’t blow it all in one place!”
7) MONEY SHIRT!
8) COLD HARD CASH! Make them work for it by putting it inside a large piece of ice!
9) MONEY STASHED IN BOOK! I found a couple different ways. One is to carve out a letter, like this one:
Another option is to hollow it up to fit the bills.
10) MONEY BALLOONS! Stick them inside the balloons before blowing the balloons up!
I hope you enjoyed those money gift ideas for your teenager or those kids who are hard to buy for! Try these out for birthday, holiday, and graduation gifts!
