Of course, craftier people can also make refillable drawstring pouches like this one from Skip to My Lou. [...]

I love this appreciation gift idea. I love to give gifts that I know will be used instead of being put in a closet and forgotten about because they could not use it.

I look forward to all of these great ideas! I manage an Adult Day Center, and I am always looking for meaningful projects for our volunteers and friends of the center! I am especially enjoying the teacher appreciation ideas! Thanks so much!
