Easter cash gift ideas: Money rolled up into a Pez dispenser!
You can pick up some Easter-themed Pez dispensers This is an affiliate link: MomOf6 earns a commission if you purchase, at no additional cost to you. on Amazon, or at places like CVS and Target. The only tricky part of this gift, is getting the cash placed inside of the dispenser!
The way I did it was to fold the bill in half, and then tightly roll it from one end to the next. Then carefully hold down the spring-loaded bottom of the dispenser, and place the top part of the bill in, and then wedge in the bottom part of the rolled bill.
Bonus points if you can get the dollar value to appear in the opening of the dispenser!
