birthday money

Celebratory monetary gift

Birthday money is cash given as a gift on someone's birthday, typically from relatives or family friends.

It often comes tucked in a card and represents a practical alternative to choosing a specific present: I spent my birthday money on a new video game.

The term implies money received rather than earned, often associated with childhood and adolescence.
