Back to School Gifts!

Oh. My. Word!  I just love seeing pins and posts about back to school mini gifts!  I really think they are so great and such a fun way to start the school year.  I myself LOVE to have an excuse to put together a gift of any kind so back to school gifts for the teacher, your students, or your co-teachers is fantastic.  Here's a quick look at 3 inexpensive mini gifts I put together.  Enjoy!

Here's an example of a student gift.  I found CRAYOLA glitter glue sticks for $1.50 a nine pack!  What a deal!  But if you can't find the crayola glitter glue on sale try checking out your local dollar store.  I know in California I could always find packs of glitter glue there.  Anyway I added a tag that says "Can't wait to see you SPARKLE this year" and tadaa... all done :)

Now here's a simple co-teacher gift.  I bought a fun bright note pad and a pack of highlighters in total costing me $1.00 and then put it together with a tag that reads " Here's to a BRIGHT school year!"  Easy - Peasy!

I don't have any little ones of my very own yet, but when I do I'm sure I'll make their teacher a back to school gift!  I love the idea of teacher survival kits but this is an example of something much cheaper.  I took a jam jar I already had and filled it with tea, then tied a ribbon to the top with a tag that reads " This year's going to be TEA-RRIFIC with you as my teacher!"  For fun and a touch of cuteness I added a tea ball.  I think it spiced it up!

Did you make or receive any back to school gifts?
