Description

Cash Out is a see-through gift card and money puzzle box from Creative Crafthouse. The recipient can see the cash or gift card through a clear acrylic window on the front, but they have to solve the box to get it out. It turns handing someone money into a moment they have to earn, which makes it a far more memorable gift than an envelope.

The box is made of warm rubberwood with a clear acrylic front panel. It measures 4.6 by 3.6 by 1 inches, roughly the size of a deck of cards, so it stores or wraps easily. A secret locking mechanism keeps the gift sealed until the box is solved. Printed instructions and a solution sheet are included, so the gift giver always has the answer on hand even if the recipient gets stuck.

  • Dimensions: 4.6 by 3.6 by 1 inches, about the size of a deck of cards.
  • Material: rubberwood with a clear acrylic front window.
  • Difficulty: an approachable solve, usually a few moves. Most people open it with the included instructions, which makes it a fun reveal rather than a frustrating one. If you want a harder money box, see the comparison below.
  • What is inside: room for cash or a standard gift card, plus a play $20 bill so it gifts ready to go.
  • Personalization: add a $4 laser-engraved name or short message, up to 45 characters. See the personalization question below.
  • Occasions: birthdays, graduations, weddings, Christmas, retirement, and any time you want to give money in a way people remember.

Cash Out is a reusable, screen-free, hands-on challenge that the recipient can keep and use again for their own gift giving. Compare it with our harder money box, the Secret Stash money puzzle box, or browse the full Gift Card and Money Puzzle Boxes collection.

Designed and made by Creative Crafthouse. Ships from our Florida shop.

This is a really nice puzzle box, well-made and deceptively simple. The wood is really nice and smooth, as is the engraving. I put some cash that I had folded into an origami star in there, and it looked great! I am amazed at how quickly this item shipped and how quickly it arrived to me... two days from Florida to Hawaii absolutely blew my mind! Thank you very much for an impressive gift that I know my recipient will love!

Great gift, I chose to have it engraved, and the engraving was awesome. Contacted seller to make sure that it does not come with "real" money...it doesn't. But, they answered quickly and were so very kind to me. Highly recommend!!

Item is okay, engraving is what I spent the money on. Great job on personalization, Amazon has the same box, no engraving for much less money.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cash Out puzzle box?

Cash Out is a see-through gift card and money puzzle box. You place cash or a gift card inside, and the recipient sees the prize through a clear acrylic window on the front but has to solve the box to get it out. That visible-but-locked tension turns giving money into a small game instead of handing over an envelope.

How does it open?

The box uses a secret locking mechanism that has to be worked out before it releases. It is an approachable solve, usually a few moves, so most people get in without too much struggle. Printed instructions and a solution sheet are included, so the giver always has the answer if the recipient needs a hint.

How hard is it, and who is it for?

Cash Out is on the easier end of our puzzle boxes, which is intentional for a gift you want people to actually open and enjoy. It suits teens, adults, and anyone receiving money for a birthday, graduation, or holiday. If you want a money box that puts up a real fight, see the Secret Stash below.

What can I put inside?

It holds folded cash or a standard gift card. You can tuck in a single bill, a few bills, or a gift card. It ships with a play $20 bill so you can see how the box works and gift it ready to go.

What is it made of?

Cash Out is made of warm rubberwood with a clear acrylic front window. The rubberwood gives it a smooth, solid feel, and the acrylic panel is what lets the recipient see the prize while they solve it. It is not solid throughout. The clear front is part of the design, not a substitute panel.

What size is it?

It measures 4.6 by 3.6 by 1 inches, roughly the size of a deck of cards. That keeps it easy to wrap, mail, or slip into a bag, and small enough to sit on a shelf afterward.

Can it be reused?

Yes. Once the gift is out, the box still works. Many people keep it and use it again to give money to someone else, or hold onto it as a small puzzle. That reuse is part of why it lands better than a card that gets thrown away.

What occasions is it good for?

Birthdays, graduations, weddings, Christmas, retirement, promotions, and thank-you gifts. Anytime you would give cash or a gift card and want the moment to be more memorable, Cash Out fits. It is also a popular white elephant and stocking-stuffer pick.

Where is it made and how does it ship?

Cash Out is designed and made by Creative Crafthouse and ships from our Florida shop. Orders can include the laser engraving described below.

Can I personalize the Cash Out Gift Card Puzzle Box?

Yes. The Cash Out Gift Card Puzzle Box can be personalized with a $4 laser engraving of a name, date, or short message, up to 45 characters. See our laser engraving page for details and examples. For a custom logo or artwork, request a quote for custom work.
