Happy Easter to all......we celebrated early along with our grandson's 13th birthday. Kiddos that age are more interested in monetary gifts rather than toys....this short video shows the gift I created for him.
Thank you for Robbi Porter Payne who showed this clever gift giving idea on her blogs years ago....I've been waiting for the right time to create one myself. Here's how:
I opened the BOTTOM of a can of pineapple chunks with a can opener...removed the fruit, cleaned and dried it. (You must search for a can with a pop top lid and a rim bottom...not the curved ones that seemed to be on about 90% of the cans.) I taped 13 bills of various denominations together, rolled them up and placed in the can with a tag saying pull facing the unopened end. I added some ribbons and a heavy rock to give it some weight and hot glued the bottom lid back in place. What a fun way to give cash for the birthday boy with younger brother & Mom looking on.
DRAT - I can never seem to get movies to load on this site anymore.....this is such a tease....so if we are friends on Facebook....go to my personal page, it's posted there only for Facebook friends.

Great idea! I remember Robbie doing some other creative things with cash for gifts, but I can't remember details.
