I mentioned I have 15 grandchildren which includes one grandchild in law. They are all ages, none of them young anymore, and because of that I have no idea of their preferences for anything so they get money to spend as they wish. I do try to make it interesting every year. This year they get it like this
This is a wonderful way to present it. I have a friend who gives the kids and grands money at Thanksgiving. Then they have to show up at Christmas with what they bought. Sounds like fun.
What a wonderful look at the balls with treats. Will they have to be broken to retrieve the gift? You are so clever. My family got the same old Visa gift cards.
And is it the same amount for every one of them? Or do they get the amount equal to their age?
I've looked into my family tree, and unfortunately it seems that I am not your grandchild...
Great idea! I've seen these clear glass balls, but just thought about the possibilities of stuffing them with Christmas things like tinsel-- or painting them.
@corinnec I am so glad you think so Corinne @summerfield thanks Vikki Be my guest @tunia thanks Tunia. I think that is a great idea too @milaniet I am happy to hear you think so Milanie @amyk so glad you like it Amy @randystreat thank you Kathy. i am not sure if they will try and pull it out or break the ball. @30pics4jackiesdiamond no one will be getting rich from it though @ludwigsdiana I am so glad you think so Diana thank you so much @kjarn thank you Kathy. I try to keep it from becoming routine @monikozi it is the same amount fo all right now. the amount equaltheir age might have been more economical for me! I am a bit disappointed you did not find yourself on my family tree! @wakelys I am glad you like it Sue and please feel free to copy @montserrat si heureux que tu le penses merci @mcsiegle thanks Mary these are actually plastic from the dollar tree and I debated whether to personalize them or not, dciding against it because they may break them to get the money out @corinnec thanks again Corinne
Clever! My grandchildren in NY (with the exception of the 3 year old) love to get money so I do the same. This year it was hiding in gifts like mittens and craft books. Last year it was odd boxes and cardboard tubes. It's fun coming up with odd and interesting ways to package the green stuff!
