Orange You Glad It's Summer Teacher Gift + Printable

If you hadn't heard, I have a certain daughter that loves orange. She is crazy for it! She wants her hair orange, she wants her clothes orange, she loves orange food best and everyday involves orange in one form or the other. So, when it was time to do end of the year teacher gifts I knew that orange would need to be involved in some way. Since we had already done the Orange You Glad I'm Eight when she got baptized almost 2 years ago, I thought that Orange You Glad it's Summer would be the perfect theme for a teacher gift.



So I gathered up as many orange things as I could find and filled up a cute orange sand bucket that I found in the Dollar Spot at Target (or whatever they're calling it now) and loaded it up.

The orange things I included:
Orange Wooden Earrings (I sprayed painted a wooden pair I bought.)
Orange bubble wand
Orange sunscreen
Orange water gun
Orange soda
Orange gum
Orange Tic Tacs
Orange box of candy (Reese's Pieces)
Orange nail polish
Orange magazine
An ORANGE!

I lucked out in finding the HGTV magazine with an orange armoire on the front that went perfectly with the orange theme. I bought cute wooden leaf earrings and sprayed painted them orange. They turned out so cute!! I also included a gift card and made an orange gift card holder for it with a scrap of scrapbook paper and some orange washi tape.

It all fit in the bucket perfectly and then I added a cute little tag that I made by attaching it to the bucket with orange baker's twine. My daughter was thrilled with how it all came together. It was so much fun to make and I love that you can put anything in it you think that your teacher would love that is ORANGE!

One Smart Cookie End of Year Teacher Gift

I can't believe that we are here at the end of another school year. It seemed to
sneak up on me this year and come faster than usual. So, it's time again for fun
end of the year teacher gifts. This year I wanted something cute and clever that
I could pair with an Amazon gift card - enter the Smart Cookie gift!

First, I created a cute printable in Photoshop that says:

Thanks to you

I'm one SMART cookie!

We need S'more teachers like you!

I created four to a page and made a boy and a girl nerdy cookie version so that 

you can match them with your student. I think that nerdy cookies are the cutest

cookies around!

Have you see the S'mores Oreos? They are a combination of graham cracker

cookie on the inside that is stuffed with chocolate and marshmallow filling on

the inside. They are yummy and perfect for this quick and easy end of the year

teacher gift. I've found them at Target and Walmart.

After you have cut apart your smart cookie gift tags and rounded up some

S'mores Oreos, then it is time to put this cute gift together. I used a paper cutter

to cut the tags apart, but you can also use scissors if you don't have one handy.

You can attach the Smart Cookie gift tags in whatever manner is easiest for you.

I grabbed some of my cute washi tape and attached them directly to the package

of cookies. It was quick, easy, and super cute! Which goes well with the super

cute Smart Cookie tag.

The kids especially thought this gift was fun because it used their favorite

Oreo cookies and they could help put them together. I had them sign their names

on the bottom of the tags to a little bit of personalization. Then, they took them

to their teachers on the last day of school and I did an email Amazon gift card to

say THANK YOU for such a great school year!
