It's that time of year, school will be out soon. For me and my family we are on a TIGHT budget right now. We have graduations, birthday's, Mother's Day, Recitals, the list goes on and on for what we are dishing out for this month. We tend to be frugal when it comes to gifts because we have SO many people to get gifts for.
Mads teacher this year is AWESOME, she had her in 4K also so we have known her for a while now. She can be hard to buy for though, can't all teachers though? I mean, if it has an apple on...I am sure that have it...or 10...already. I have scoured the net (ok, so I scoured Pinterest) and found some GREAT teacher gifts that are super frugal!
1) Quench My Thirst Tumblers! Lisa, over at Lisa Storms, created a CUTE little printable tag that you place on the straw of a tumbler. Add some drink packs and you are set! You can do this for under $5.
2) Covered Clipboard
- I use clipboards all the time and I know a few teacher friends do as
well. Who wouldn't love to have one of these cuties? Under $10.
3) Ruler Wreath - If I were a teacher, I would want this! I think it is darling! This can be made for under $10. From The Polkadot Chair.
4) Caramel Apple Dip and Apple - This is just too cute! Tie on a plastic knife so the teacher can enjoy during the day. About $8.
5) Snack Survival Kit - This is SO super simple and I bet you have most of the supplies on hand already! So, this COULD be FREE also!
6) Everything in a Jar - I love these ideas that Tonia at The Gunny Sack shared, SO cute! Under $5!
7) I {heart} You notecards- I think these are SO cute! Jenny, from bloom,
is seriously a genius! Her parties, design work and recipes are
AWESOME! I already had all the supplies I need for this project so it
was absolutely FREE!
8) DIY Ice Cream in a Jar - Yeah, I thought the same thing. BUT! Check it out! This is totally AWESOME! You put rock salt in a glass jar, add a bag with some sugar and vanilla powder and stick a few things of liquid creamer inside. Seriously amazing! Under $10
9) Cupcakes in a Jar - Who doesn't LOVE cupcakes....in a jar!?! I LOVE surprising my friends with these little puppies in the mail. I know teachers would LOVE this special treat as well! About $1-3 per jar.
10) Post-It Holder - This is SO cute and so simple at the same time! You can easily make this for under $5.
I would LOVE to know what you are doing for your child's teacher this year.
As for us? Well, we did the tumbler and the notecards.
