5 TOP TEACHER GIFTS THAT WON'T BREAK THE BANK
1. COOKIES IN A JAR - You can assemble these cookie mixes in quart mason jars, and add a
fabric swatch on top. Talk about sharing sweet love. Click here for details. 2. LIGHT UP THEIR DAY - You can buy inexpensive votive or jar candles at the dollar store and wrap them in fabric swatches with a tag attached that reads "You Light Up My Days."
3. NOTEPADS - Teachers are always in need of notepads. Find some fun and inexpensive ones at the dollar store and wrap them up in fun paper for your teachers.
4. COFFEE TO GO - Purchase $5 coffee gift cards to a local coffee house or Starbucks. Always a great gift, and no wrapping needed. $5 will buy one sweet cup of coffee. For a variation, get a Subway $5 gift card for lunch on the go. Their foot longs
are only $5!5. HOT COCOA MIX - Make hot cocoa mix. There are a ton of varieties that are sweet and scrumptious. Who doesn't love hot cocoa for Christmas. Tons of recipes here.
These are all great ideas! As a former teacher, I would love to receive any of them. I have tons of ornaments, mugs and "trinkets" (aka junk) from the dollar stores that eventually just get thrown away or put in garage sales. Practical, usable and consumable gifts are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteThe cookie recipes in a jar are lovely, and so is cocoa mix in a jar. We used labels for the baking directions rather than making a card . . . added a clip art garland which made it look even more festive. These were such a wonderful idea, thank you so much for sharing it, Trish! We added l" ornaments tied in with the ribbon, so our total cost was about $6/jar . . . fabulous!
