A Mom's Year

Creating a comfortable life one moment at a time

Teacher Gift / Summer in a Basket

{ dandee designs }

I know there’s no way to truly thank teachers for all they do for our kids. But these cute little “Summer in a Basket” gifts might be a start! I like Danyelle’s idea of including fun, non-cluttery gifts that the teachers can use right away—nail polish, a snack or two, a fizzy drink with a cool straw, and a gift card. You and the kids could have a great time coming up with treats to tuck in the basket.

We’ve been handing out the “You Deserve a Hand” gifts left and right. They’re so cute and easy to make. And who doesn’t need hand lotion?

    That’s great, Rosa! I couldn’t find baskets like the ones in the photo (more of a Fall thing, maybe?) but I found really cute orange metal buckets at Michaels. These were a lot of fun to put together, and I ended up doing some extra ones as birthday gifts, too.
