Teacher Christmas Gifts

Yes, it is that time of year again. Here I am scrambling to come up with a creative idea for my daughters teacher that is practical and also in budget. 

I did my Pinterest search and it lead me to some great links. I thought I would pass them on to you to save you the time of having to search. Instead pick and idea off the list and you'll have a gift ready to go to give to your child's teacher and a bonus it will be super cute and look like you are very creative and prepared.

Eveyone loves getting a Starbucks coffee with their own name written on it. This Starbucks Sleeve Printable gives you the chance to write you teachers name and a cute little check list on the side too!

I don't know many teachers that will pass up a free cup of coffee. So why not give them a Dunkin Donuts gift card on this little Thanks a Latte Printable card holder!

We all know teachers spend lots of their own money on classroom supplies. Why not help them out by giving them a few dollars towards that fund? This Target Gift Card Holder is the perfect way to thank a teacher.

Who doesn't need some extra lip balm? This  Reindeer Lip Balm Gift Holder is Adorable.

All classrooms are full of tiny hands with germs. Buy a bottle of hand sanitizer and add this cute hand sanitizer label.

Hope this helps! If you have more great teacher gift ideas pop over to my Facebook page and share you ideas and links!

Decorate your own.....

Has your child ever purchase or recieved a "design your own" toy. They beg you to open the package, they get the markers and start drawing, the next day they realize they don't like the design and want you to wash it off... but it doesn't come off.

That's what happened to me. Here is the before product:

Here us the after:

I tried Mr Clean MagicErasers and a miriad of other cleaning products but nothing took of the marker. 

Fortunatly my daughter recieved a new version of this exact you for her birthday, 

I promptly threw out the permeate markers it came with and had her use Crayola washable markers as a friend had suggested. 

Genius!!!!

Just for proof that it works. Here us the drawing stage:

Here is the wash off:

Here is Luna cleaned off and ready for a new design:

*note- any marker that is left on more than 24 hours may leave a shadow. (See the wing I picture above.) The sooner you wash it off the better!!!

So throw out the makers and use washables for any "design-a-toy"!
