Kids and adults of all ages will love being surprised with a Play-Doh Money Gift!
It’s one of the must fun and creative money gifts you can give but it’s also very simple to create.
I’ve saved you one step already by creating a free Play- Doh printable consisting of two-inch tags that say: “Everyone deserves some play money!” and “Thought you could use some extra dough!”
Or feel free to come up with your own tags using play-on-words!
For a birthday gift, I received a beautiful mosiac glass bird feeder. It was too pretty to let the birds poop on it so I made a decision to turn it into something else – a people feeder!
We love having celebrations at our house for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, Christmas, and all the holidays in between. Food and games are the center of our family celebrations.
On the kitchen table, I placed my decorative bird feeder filled with peanut and plain M&Ms. My family and friends loved the idea of nibbling from the “people feeder.”
Because the bird feeder aka people feeder was such a hit, I decided to give something similar as a gift.
I purchased a beautiful bird feeder and a giant bag of M&Ms and called my gift “Birds of a Feather Flock Together” since it’s perfect to use for get-togethers with family and friends.
It’s also a thoughtful twist for a unique housewarming gift. It can be used immediately for a delicious snack and a fun conversation piece!
In our family, we always give money of the age of the birthday gal or guy.
No one will ever guess that their new house robe comes lined with cash!
When my brother turned 59, I was stumped to come up with a creative way to surprise him with his birthday money of $59.
I recently visited him and noticed his house robe needed to be replaced. So I purchased a green (and blue) robe to go with the money theme.
At first, I thought I would place the money in a pocket. Boring! Then it came to me, why not line the inside of the robe with 59 one dollar bills? Now that’s fun!
I laid out the open robe, spread out the dollar bills in even rows, and taped them in place. (Even though the tape worked, I would suggest using safety pins to make sure the bills stay put.)
I folded up the robe and tied the belt. A money robe! You could not see any of the bills since I had placed them below the waistline. Continue Reading
Retirement is the next frontier for Baby Boomers! Did you know the Baby Boomer generation will be turning 65 at a rate of 8,000 per day? That’s a lot of retirement gifts to think about!
Create a joyful card for Retirement!
Rocking chair gifts are out. Let’s get more creative than that.
Many Baby Boomers retire only to become bored and return to work part-time. Others start new businesses while some take trips and enjoy their hobbies of art, golf, fishing, or penning a novel.
A retirement gift related to their hobby is perfect.
Pair a flashlight with this card for a Play on Words gift idea.
If they like to paint, purchase several different size canvases with the message to “Paint Your Art Out.”
Golf balls are certainly prized gifts. Personalize them with the word “RETIRED!” Continue Reading
A coin purse is the best thing ever! Not only does it hold your change for easy access but it keeps all of the coins from settling at the bottom of your purse.
So why don’t people think of giving a coin purse for a gift? Maybe it seems too blah. But it’s not if the coin purse comes already filled with coins and cash!
Coin purses come in every shape, size and color. Some styles are classy while others inspire fun. The selections are endless as you can choose leather, cloth or silicone.
I try to find the perfect coin purse to match the personality of the gift recipient. Continue Reading

Normally, I would say to stay away from giving neck ties as gifts. Nine times out of 10, it shows lack of effort and creativity on your part. Unless… it’s a money tie!

Giving money in a creative way and as a surprise will always make the gift memorable. If it’s impressive and simple, many times the recipient will use the gift idea for someone else!
You’ve heard that “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” I love hearing that someone copied one of our gift ideas. That’s Sunburst Gifts at its finest!
I’m hoping the M&Ms Money Jar becomes a gift people will use over and over again.

College students and pizza go together like movies and popcorn. Sing with me now. “This I tell you brother. You can’t have one without the other.”

What factors have caused this magnetic match?
#1 – It tastes amazing. Even plain cheese pizza is heavenly, and it just gets better from there. Pepperoni. Supreme. Meat Lovers. Oh, sweet Jesus!
#2 – It’s dirt cheap and sometimes free. I remember getting so much free pizza in college because most student organizations used it to lure people to their meetings.
#3 – It’s the ultimate convenience food. No plates or utensils necessary. Napkins optional.
#4 – It can be delivered. Just think of all the times pizza deliveries have saved college students from starvation when they’re either too drunk, too lazy, or don’t have a car to get food.
#5 – It even tastes good cold. Pizza for breakfast, anyone?
But no matter how much college students love their warm, gooey pizza, they can’t survive without cold, hard cash.
Money is by far the #1 request for gifts by graduates so give it to them. College is expensive! Ditch the envelope though, and get creative.
Give them a “Here’s some dough!” Pizza Box Money Gift for a present they’ll never forget! It’s easy peasy to put together with a few simple items, and it creates that “WOW!” factor!
