Teacher Gift Ideas

Teacher Appreciation Day is May 7, 2013.

Here are some gifts I have made for Lily’s teachers in the past – just in case you are still looking for ideas!

Alphabet Teacher Vase

Bunch of “Smarties” candy gift with free printable label

DIY sugar scrub gift with free printable jar labels

Cake pop “flower” pot gift

Thirst Quencher gift (cup and drink mix… my theme is Valentine’s Day, could very easily be adapted for teacher appreciated or end of year gift)

MOST POPULAR –> Thanks a “latte” coffee shop gift card holder with free printable card templates

Easter is just around the corner which prompted me to dig through my post archives and find some of my favorite how-to posts.  Enjoy!

:: How to Hard Boil an Egg (something so simple, yet I frequently need a reminder!)

:: Chocolate Covered Oreos and Pretzels

:: DIY Chocolate Bunnies (we made these for Lily’s teachers last year – fun frugal gift!)

:: Peeps and Jellybeans Floral Centerpiece

:: Easy Jellybean Candle Holder

:: Natural Easter Egg Dye Recipes (no chemicals!)

And of course, you can keep up with all of my Easter crafts and inspirations on my Pinterest Easter Board.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. That means that I will be making some Candy Candle Centerpieces! These are as frugal as they come and just so FUN to look at!

(You could easily substitute real candles for the battery operated flickering tea lights if you’d rather not have an open flame.)

Lily and I made these Hot Chocolate Spoon Stirrers last year to give to her preschool classmates on Valentine’s Day. They are fairly simply and very inexpensive to make!
