Gifting

This year for teacher's gifts I combined something they always need with something they could use.  It looks just like a box of tissues right?

Around each of the sides was a message, referring to the actual gift.

We picked out different gift cards and attached them to the arrow so they would know it wasn't just a box of tissues. 

For Sadi's friends we bought some holiday socks, and a little pedicure set and tied it up with a little message "For your Mistle Toes".

Chase didn't want anything too cutesy for his friends...apparently 6th grade boys are too cool for that.  He really just wanted to buy them a pack of Pokemon  cards.  No wrapping, even the tag was pushing it. 

He may have been playing it cool buying them, but I think he was the most excited to give his gifts out.

Today is the last day of school and so that means party day...usually.  Chase's class was given strict instructions not to bring anything.  Sounded Grinchy....so I made up some waters for his class (and Sadi's as well).  I mean WHO  can say no to water?

These were a big hit!  I figured Sadi's class would have plenty of treats and I was right.  Kinda surprising how excited kids were about these waters.  And for those cool 6th graders with all their smart phones there was an added extra, they could use the QR reader app to scan this and get a message from the Grinch!

Now that school's finally out, we can start the festivities at home!
