This year, I've vowed to be better prepared, and I'm already working a fun DIY gift for my boys to give to their teachers, which I'll share with all of you next week. But I realize that not everyone has the time or the desire to make homemade teacher gifts. That's why I have to share with you the cutest - and easiest - gift idea that I discovered last night! {This is not a sponsored post - I'm just a big fan!}
Are you familiar with The Entertaining Shoppe?
If not, then I am excited to be the one to introduce you! This company, located right in my 'hood and started by a lovely group of ladies, has such a great business concept. They design, create and photograph fabulous parties - the kind you drool over on Pinterest with lots of cute handcrafted details - then they package it together and deliver the entire thing right to your doorstep (they call it a Party to Go)! You can choose a complete party from their website, or you can browse their online shoppe for individual products {including lots of handcrafted supplies} to create any party you can dream up.
Last night I attended a fun little event at The Entertaining Shoppe's headquarters,and I snapped a few photos of my favorite party set-ups!

One of The Entertaining Shoppe's newest product lines is called A Party in a Can(TM) . They sell five different cans - including one made just for teachers!

At last night's even I was even able to make one of my own - putting all the supplies in a can and then attaching the pop top! How fun!
Chance are that your kids will be hand delivering the gifts for their teachers, but each Party in a Can(TM) can also be sent in the mail! Talk about happy mail! Who wouldn't love to find this little surprise in their mailbox?

Let's get social!
As a retired teacher, all I can say is that teachers really don't need more "stuff". I always appreciated a gift certificate from an office supply store so I wasn't spending all of my money on supplies for my classroom or one to a local restaurant so I didn't have to come home one night after a long day and cook dinner. I always loved homemade cookies from my students too!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you about giving gift cards to teachers - we always give them in addition to another gift. My boys are still young enough (preschool) that they love giving something tangible - and I love the items in this "can" because they are perfect for a teacher to enjoy with her/his students. My 3 year old would think it was fantastic to see his teacher wearing that crown and blowing bubbles with the whole class!
DeleteSuch a fun idea to let a teacher know how much you appreciate them! Love!
