If you're like me, finding new ways to gift money is not easy!
It always seems a bit dull handing a loved one a card with some money in it that says,
"Happy Birthday!"
Well, today I've got a fun money gift for you to try the next time you want to step up your 'money-giving game'.
Using the included toothpick and earplugs--the recipient opens a box of balloons and has to pop the balloons to find their gift!
Some of the balloons have jokes and other balloons have cash.
You can fill the box with candy and treats too.
Here's what you'll need to make your own Balloon Money Gift:
Supplies: (affiliate links included to help you locate products.)
-1 big cardboard box (You could use a very large sack or bag.)
-small balloons (I used these 5" balloons.)
-balloon notes and jokes (Click here to print your own.)
-cash
-1 pair of earplugs
-1 pointed colored toothpick
-balloon air pump (It's possible- but I wouldn't suggest blowing these balloons up with your own air. Having a balloon pump makes it so easy--and they're inexpensive!)
-scotch tape
-scissors
-wrapping paper (I got mine from Target years ago- but here's a cute option.)
-tissue paper (optional)
-curling ribbon
-extra candies or treats to go in box.

2) Roll or fold up tightly each note and/or dollar bill to fit into the neck of the balloon.
Inflate the balloons using the balloon pump. Don't overfill your balloons--you want them small, so they'll fit in your box better.

Squish a pair of ear plugs in a balloon and inflate. Tape that balloon on top of the package.
Tape 1-2 pointed toothpicks to the Happy Birthday note and attach to the package.
