easy birthday gift idea: tissue box money roll

I always seem to find myself rushing last-minute to figure out an easy birthday gift idea when my child is invited to a birthday party. One thing leads to another, and I always end up grabbing way more than I actually needed (I'm looking at you, Target). Or we resort to a less-than-ideal gift and I swear to be more prepared the next time around.

But now I've discovered the PERFECT, easy birthday gift idea to have on-hand for birthday parties: a tissue box money roll! A friend told me about this idea a few months ago and I instantly fell in love with it. I knew I had to create my own!

You essentially roll up dollar bills (I typically use about 10) and paper arrows + notes into a tissue box. Half the fun of this money gift, is pulling it all out of the tissue box. It seems to just keep going and going!

Assembling this gift is super simple and I like to put together a couple at a time, so we can grab them and go when there's a birthday party to attend.

Supplies

1 square tissue box
The printable (download at the bottom of this post)
Dollar bills (I usually use about 10)
Scissors
Tape
Tissue paper (or a couple tissues from the box)

Directions

Cut out each piece of the printable
Gently open the side of the tissue box and remove tissues
Tape box closed and attach gift label on the side
Starting with the topper, tape alternating dollar bills and arrows until you get to the bottom
Starting at the bottom, roll up the bills and paper then insert into the empty tissue box with the topper sticking out
Secure the topper with tissue paper or tissues
