#1: Funny Ways to Gift Money

College students are always short on cash, so here is a funny way to keep them stocked with some cash!

Start your College Survival Kit with an Emergency Cash Fund… if your student is going to have some unforseen emergency, breaking some glass and grabbing some cash will make everything seem better!! 🙂

Supplies Needed:

Two Bills {$20, $50, $100… it’s up to you}
8×10 Picture Frame

Instructions:

On your computer, or a piece of 8×10 paper, type or write out… In an Emergency, Break Glass!
Carefully adhere the bills to the paper using an itty bitty piece of tape on the back of each one.
Reassemble your photo frame, and you’re done!

Or… you can even have fun hiding money in a diversion safe!

Silk Sleep Mask
