Teacher Appreciation Week is NEXT WEEK! If you are looking for a quick, last minute gift idea how about picking up a gift certificate for a local nail salon for an after school visit for pampering? Or even just a few fun bottles of pretty polish?

Just save our printable tags and print on to card stock (I took mine to a local copy shop!) Then, attach to an envelope and put your gift certificate inside!

I’m sure your child’s teacher will be more than excited for a little bit of pampering!

And it couldn’t be any easier! 🙂

This past weekend was filled with amazing Cookie Butter Popcorn and Cookie & Cocoa Swirl Popcorn. While we were munching away — and I was wishing I had the will power to stop — I thought I know! Let’s be awesome and give some away! Who wouldn’t love this?

So Josh and I headed out and found these super cute Popcorn boxes at World Market. ($4.99 for 12 boxes)

No World Market? Check out Amazon! They have similar boxes available! (Check them out here.)

I love these because they are so easy to make and you can fill it with the popcorn ‘flavor’ of your choice! (Above is the Cookie & Cocoa Swirl Popcorn – get the recipe here)

This is our Cookie Butter Popcorn! (Get the recipe here)

Before sending these off to school, I suggest getting some plastic treat bags and filling them and then putting the treat bag in the popcorn box. That way you can seal it up and it will stay fresh! You can get them pretty inexpensively on Amazon. (See them here.)

Just save the picture to your computer and make to fit one page. I printed mine at a local copy shop onto card stock.

They would also be fun to attach a movie theater gift card to!

If you haven’t heard yet, Teacher Appreciation Week is May 5-9th. So to get ready we have been posting lots of easy ideas for you to make your child’s teacher a special something to show how much you appreciate all of their hard work!

So far this week we have shared printable tags to attach to soda (You are ‘SO-DA’ teacher!) and water bottles (I just can’t bottle it up anymore!) Both gifts were super cute and something that I’m sure any teacher would appreciate. Today we have TWO printables that you can use to add to your gifts!

If you have a super awesome teacher you should definitely think about getting them a pretty candle warmer! I know teachers love to have their classrooms smell nice, but you aren’t allowed to have candles with open flames (due to obvious reasons!) burning. I know when I was teaching lots of teachers brought in candle warmers to plug in to keep their classrooms smelling nice!

This warmer is so pretty! It’s from Candlewarmers.com and is actually a warming lamp, which means it actually gives off some light as opposed to a traditional warmer.

It comes in black and white so it is perfect for any decor! (You can get one here.)

I *love* Candlewarmers.com! We have their products all throughout the house. See? Isn’t the owl candle warmer the cutest? (Get him here!) Their products are really top notch!

I promise – whoever you purchase a candle warmer for will be super happy! 🙂 Attach our cute printable tag (find it below!!) and some ribbon and you have a perfect gift!

Want to know what goes great with candle warmers or even as gifts on their own? Candles! City Creek Candles is hands down my favorite place to get candle and candle waxes! I love them because they are super awesome quality, but their site is so easy to find exactly what you are looking for! Their (tons) of scents are organized by categories like citrus + fruit, woods, sea + sand, green + herbal and more!

We have the frosted cake wax in our candle warmer and, true story, the first time we put it on Josh came up from the basement because he thought I had made cupcakes. (He was quite disappointed! No cupcakes – just a candle!)

This time they sent me Sugared and Citrus. You have no clue how amazing this sells! I’m obsessed!

(Check out all of the amazing scents and candles here.)

Make sure to print the gift tag (below!!) and add your favorite ribbon to create a fun (and great smelling!!) gift!

To attach the bow to the candle I just cut a piece of ribbon to fit snugly around the jar and hot glued it to form a loop and slipped it on.

If your ribbon is a little loose just put a small dot of hot glue on the glass and it should hold. When your teacher is ready to use the candle it should pull of pretty easily.

Just save the above image to your computer (or flash drive). I fit mine to take up one page and printed it at a local copy shop on card stock.

Don’t forget we will be featuring a fun and easy Teacher Appreciation gift idea everyday this week for you to make for Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5th-9th)!

Yesterday I showed you our cute You Are ‘SO-DA’ Teacher printable tag and today I have another teacher appreciation gift idea printable tag for you!

It’s no secret that I love Tervis Tumbler! Their cups are high quality and super adorable. Plus if anything does happen to them – they have lifetime guarantees! I love that they are totally customizable, which means they make great gifts! There are lots of teacher inspired cups (even one for coaches!) I chose this fun apple! (To find them quickly just search ‘teacher’) I also decided to get it in a water bottle. I love mine – it even has the ounces on the side so it is super helpful in tracking your water! (Find your perfect cup here!)

Just add a cute tag that says “I can’t bottle it up anymore! Thanks for all you do!” to your water bottle ….

and…

chocolate! 🙂

Want your own tag to add to a water bottle of your own? Just save this and print it! (I made sure to make mine fit an 8×10 paper and had it printed on card stock. It will print 2 tags per page!)

This is a gift that is sure to get lots of use and love! 🙂

Don’t forget to pin it!

The next few weeks are full of special occasions! We just celebrated Easter yesterday, Earth Day is April 22nd, Teacher Appreciation Week is May 5-9th and Mother’s Day is May 12th. And just in case anyone is curious, Josh’s birthday is right there in the middle, on May 6th! (11 years old – oh my gosh!!!) I think with the late Easter this year everything else has just snuck up on me!

So if you are anything like me, now that the Easter baskets are put away, you are scrambling for a gift for the teachers. Requirements: Cute, fun, useful, delicious is always a plus and of course, I can’t spend a bundle. (Although, if I could I would! Teachers are totally worth it!) Josh has lots of teachers (Science, Math, English, his Resource teacher and not to mention therapists!) so all week I will be sharing some of our gifts! The hard part will be deciding who gets what!

This first teacher appreciation gift is one of my favorites! One of Josh’s favorite things to do when we are at World Market is to pick out soda bottles. They have so many varieties of ‘old time’ soda and fun flavors. While we were there the other week stocking up on some fun flavors for our Easter celebration, I had an idea. We should take a pack of soda to one of Josh’s teachers! I asked Josh what he thought and he loved the idea. He was so excited to pick out a nice variety for his teacher.

What is a good teacher appreciation gift without a fun pun? We came up with You are ‘SO-DA’ teacher! Cheesy? Check! Awesome? Double check!

I created a quick apple printable and printed it on card stock. Then I made a quick bow (isn’t the ruler ribbon cute?) and attached the tag to a sparkly miniature clothes pin and slipped it to the pack of soda.

You can buy the bottles individually for $1.49 or you can get a pack of six for $8.67.

Cute gift for under $10? Yes!

Want the tag to make the gift yourself? Here you are! Just save it to your computer (chose to have it fill up the page and print at home or take it to your local copy store to have printed on card stock! This will print 2 tags per page!)

Make sure to check back all week for lots of fun teacher appreciation ideas!
