There is still time to make the darling wreath above, the instructions make it sound very easy….. what are you getting for your kids teachers?

Last August, I bought some Breast Cancer Awareness Mugs on Kohl’s for very ( I mean VERY) cheap. My kids are filling them with candy and we are attaching gift cards to them. I hate to do the candy and mug thing to the teachers as I know they get a TON but weirdly it worked out that way this year. The discounted price I got on the mugs allows me to get them a larger gift card which is what I am sure they want anyway!

This is an idea if you have some candles, air fresheners or other small gifts around.

I typically use them as Teacher or Primary teacher gifts just to say “thank you” randomly throughout the year. As with any gift sometimes the presentation makes the entire gift! I feel a little guilty giving a candle or air freshener that cost me only $.20 I would never want to just give it “as is” so I try and dress it up! Plus, when you attach a gift card it makes it really nice.

I quickly printed off this morning a business card size, little message with my kids pictures on them. I just framed them with card stock and laminated it. Then punched a hole in the corner and added a little ring.

Next, use the little clear party bags, tie with some ribbon, add some kind of “greenery” and your little tag. I think it turned out much cuter than just sticking it in a bag, it took almost no time and cost me $.60 total with the candle!

We took a poll last year and what teachers wanted the most was gift cards and so that is what I try and do.

Readers have really asked for ideas so what are you giving your kids teachers for end of the year?? 

If you have some time and are feeling creative you can go HERE and see the instructions on how to make these darling teachers gifts!
