Christmas Teacher Gift Idea

 Now that we have 5 teachers that we want to show appreciation for at Christmas time (3 elementary, 1 preschool and 1 piano teacher) I'm in the market for creative/practical/cute/FRUGAL ideas.  I came up with this idea after I saw the personalized handgel HERE



I included tissue packs, Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, and hot cocoa w/ marshmallows and a candy cane.  (I didn't take a close-up, but I wrote "Add 2 cups water or milk" on the ribbons so she knew it was 2 packets of cocoa.  I'm all about details....atleast half the time.)

I was really happy with how it turned out.  I love it---a cute twist on something super practical for teachers!

**Also, every year we draw names for gift-giving in Steve's family.  But, in addition all of us usually do a "token gift" for all the family members as well.  So, I made extra personalized handgels for each family.  Again, I like frugal and practical, but cute is never lost on me!
