Between the daycare and the elementary school, the bus driver, etc. we give out lots of gifts this time of year and enjoy doing so...but I'm hoping you may have some good suggestions for some quick, easy and inexpensive gifts that I can put together with my kids for their teachers, etc.
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays to All!
From the mouth of a teacher---GIFT CARDS! My favorite was always $5 Starbuck's card!!!
I got some inexpensive tins from the dollar tree and plan to bake some pre-packaged toll house cookies and put them in the tins and give them to my child's teachers.
This year my children have a lot of people to buy for.
I suggested stationary, stamps, card with a special note, or of course my favorite, goodies! My children liked the card with a special note best. It doesn't get much cheaper or easier than that.
I was given this idea from an in-law. You can buy coffee mugs at either a dollar store, or i have even seen them 2 for $1 at Party City. Visit Starbucks or some other favorite coffee shop and buy the small bags of coffee that you used to make one pot and get some plastic spoons and dip them in chocolate. You can mix and match milk, white or dark chocolate. Wrap each spoon seperately in lille cellophane bags, also found at the dollar store. Fill the cup with some spoons add the coffee and put them in a christmas goodie bag and tie with some ribbon.
Also another idea.. stop at a dollar store and around this tie you can find little metal pails. Buy some pretzal rods, dip in chocolate, decorate with red, or green sugar, or drizzle another kind of chocolate on top. Wrap pretzals in a celophane bag and put them in the pail.
Kids can even help with these.
