Scavenger hunts make any present or gift card way more fun to give and receive. I've created clue game scavenger hunts for kids and adults. For really young kids, I always make clues with pictures and for adults I make up silly rhymes. Here's way to much information about preparing scavenger hunt clue games on C.R.A.F.T.

12. Gingerbread dough
This gingerbread "dough" and poem are such a clever way to give cash. The poem reads:
Gingerbread man with yummy icing
are oh so good and extremely enticing.
I set out to make a dozen or two,
but ran out of time. Oh what do I do?
So instead of the cookies I tied a bow.
It's your own personal serving of holiday dough!

13. Secret book money
Hide a crisp $20 bill in a good book. Freakanomics, C.R.A.F.T., Guns, Germs, and Steel, or Where the Crawdads Sing are a few good options. A cook book or an adult coloring book could be perfect for the right person too! The hard part is not telling the recipient. Just let the recipient find the hidden treasure as they flip through the book. I promise they will be excited. It is like finding hidden money in your winter coat pocket!
14. Tissue box
Turn an empty Kleenex box into a money box and attach a note that reads, "Don't blow it all in one place!" Thanks for the genius idea Lovezilla.
