because you do what I can’t: a gift

We take teacher gifts very serious in our house. 

Not just because I’m a teacher and I’ve received some pretty awesome gifts through the years, but because I have the upmost respect for anyone that has to teach my daughter anything.

Because that might be the most trying thing in all the world.

We had lots of fun putting together Ms. Sena’s and Ms. Patrice’s gifts this year and Pinterest came in handy multiple times.

Oatmeal Chippers in a Jar 
Chocolate Pretzel Rings
Peppermint Pretzel Bites
(I bought peppermint Kisses, added red food coloring,
and then decorated with sprinkles or crushed up candy canes.)
World Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies
Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Almost World Famous Banana Bread

A winter-themed fleece blanket + our family’s Christmas card
(I picked up these blankets after Christmas last year super cheap at Kohls–like less than $4 each.  I normally grab a few deeply discounted after-Christmas items to use for gifts the following year and have yet to regret it.)

We put all the stuff in medium utility totes that I ordered from Thirty One Gifts. They were the perfect size to hold all the goodies and will be great to carry back and forth to school.

I am so thankful that we found a small preschool that Ellie loves to go to with teachers that take such good care of her.  It really is a gift to be able to teach small kids. 

A gift that I seem to be lacking.

Do you do teacher gifts?  What do you get your kids’ teachers? (If Pinterest stuff isn’t in the schedule, I say you can’t go wrong with a Starbucks gift card. *hint, hint*)
