This year I decided to give both of my kids’ teachers a small item everyday for twelve days leading up to Christmas break.
So here’s a few of the ideas I came up with. Nothing too fancy, but a little extra fun they can look forward to each day!
For the gifts, I created some tags on my laptop and used some clear craft bags. Here’s an easy one: Reindeer Noses. Really, just an excuse for me to buy cherry sours and Whoppers. Nom nom nom.
I started saving my Crystal Light canisters awhile ago. They come in handy and make great gift containers! These are filled with jolly ranchers and (I used this tag for this one.)
Another tag I created and tucked into a clear craft bag with a tube of Chapstick for a fun – and useful – wintry gift.
I made these ornaments using some extra Scrabble pieces I had in my craft stash. I just glued the letters of the teachers’ last names onto a paint stir stick then strung with a red and white pipe cleaner.
These hand sanitizers were such a hit at Halloween I decided to do a Christmas version for my 12 Days of Teacher Gifts.
I created this tag/bag idea using a few packs of gum and a special note for “extra'” special blessings.
On Polar Express Day, I made sure this chevron scarf was the gift of the day. I made the scarves using fleece fabric from Hobby Lobby.
For this one, I printed the Grinch and put it in a two-sided necklace I purchased in the jewelry section of Hobby Lobby. It opens and closes so you can change the images for different occasions. This gift coincided with “Grinch Day”.
Each teacher also got one of these spoon ornaments that I painted. I included a glittered clothespin to easily clip it to a tree:
And finally, who couldn’t use a little merry and Sprite? I took apart the six pack and gave a few extras to the office staff as well.
Also this week, each staff member/teacher received a roll of wrapping paper with a festive tag as their December Teacher Appreciation Gift from PTA…
Lots of positive feedback from the staff!
Many of my tags are available in my Etsy store!
Hope you’re inspired to thank a teacher this week. They are our kids heroes.
Merry Christmas.
Hi ... I saw one of my friends posted your "idea" of the Merry Kissmas idea on Pinterest.... I've seen a lot of people try to take "credit" of an idea from other people. I'm not sure if you came up w/ the idea on your own or not, but in the future, please credit your ideas to the ones you did get it from. This is from my blog post back in 2009 -- many people have spunned their own version last Christmas, but they all have linked back to my blog, and I really appreciated that. http://twocuteblondies.blogspot.com/2009/12/merry-kissmas-chappy-new-year.html
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure "Merry-kissmas' has been around long before 2009. I remember hearing of it in high school. Lets cut each other some slack. Where's the Christmas Spirit? :)
DeleteLOL!!!! Back when I was in Scool in the 80s, my mom and I put the exact wording on paper with colored pencils and stuck chapsticks to it. The teachers loved it..
DeleteIt's odd how everyone online claims stuff that has been around long before the internet and for sure Pinterest. I see stuff all the time I've made at one point in my life or have seen years ago, I think it's great everyone can make creative stuff. I'm not a blogger though so maybe that's why my thoughts are different on it at.. :)
Hi Amy, I've been copied plenty myself and that's no fun, so I feel your pain! This was something I came up with, and I created the tag in my publishing software with clip art I purchased from Etsy. Thanks for checking in! Lori
ReplyDeleteI love this! How to I download the "merry kissmas" tags?

ReplyDeleteHey, I love your "Extra" gift idea!! Is there any way to download or get the tag you made for this gift?
ReplyDeleteDo you by any chance have the wrapping paper tag I could purchase?
ReplyDeleteThe other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone! birthday gifts for her
