Money Pizza

If you want your teenagers to be both excited and confused when they open their gift, give them a pizza! Instead of a real pizza, arrange money inside in the shape of a pizza and attach a note that says "here's some extra dough." Use double sided tape to secure the bills and coins so they don't move around. PS – ask at your local pizza place to buy a pizza box, they might even give you one for free.
