Some years I am on the top of my Pinterest game and I have bought carefully selected gifts for each teacher, or even better, I have handmade personal gifts for each teacher.  Some years….well, a gift card is all my brain can manage. 

We’ve all been there (at least, I hope I’m not the only one!)  These printable gift card holders save the day!  They are super cute, and they make your gift card look extra special, and well thought out.  You’re welcome–I’ve got your back busy mama!

How about a fun candy gram! My daughter and I did this for a special 6th-grade teacher and we really enjoyed making this crazy little project together. We thought about the candy available in the candy aisle and then worked out a fun story, telling how much we love her teacher using the candy.  When we got to the store, we found a couple of more fun candies to use, so we added them to the story.  It was so much fun to see how creative my daughter was at storytelling!
