Teacher Appreciation Gift-- Lemonade Kit

I finally decided what to do for Teacher Appreciation Gifts this year.  It came together as a combo of ideas.  A Lemonade Kit!  Best part is I found everything at Walmart.  Easy shopping!  First I bought the  water bottles.  They were in a package of 2/$5 (at Walmart) They have some that are $5 a piece or you can choose 2/$5-- you pick.  The mixing spoons were 4/$1 and the Ribbon was about $2.50 a roll.  I bought 2 rolls that made 6 gifts.  Lemons were $2.50 a bag.  I put 2 small  lemons in each water bottle.  Then I put a Country time lemonade packet in each bottle.  They were in a box of 10 for $2.    I got the tags HERE but modified them to just be printed as a 4x6 print.  See Below. 

If you want to add a gift card in the bottle you could.  I also added vinyl names of the teacher on the outside.  (optional of course. I sell them HERE).  You could also choose to give the water bottle/Lemonade kit in this cute Outdoor Picnic Blanket I found (Again at Walmart for $13 in the seasonal section).  Who wouldn't love one of these to keep in their car?  I think this is adorable.  See pics below. 

 

I tucked the Lemonade Kit Water Bottle inside the front pocket of the picnic blanket.

 

Here's the Tag Courtesy of PNPFLOWERSINC.COM.  You can save it and print is as a 4x6 photo.

I can't wait for my kids to take these to their teachers.  Love how they turned out!  And no gift wrapping needed and kid proof (It should get to the teacher without any accidents)

Bathroom Decor

For my Master Bathroom Towels I decided to mix it up and combine different patterns and colors together.  Maybe I owe it all  to my indecisiveness but I like how it turned out.  (I found all the towels at Target and TJMaxx)

Mother's Day Gift

 I'm always trying to find a unique Mother's Day gift.  This was a fun one I did with the topic of Gardening. First, I got my Mom a Gardening Book (this one by Joy Bossi is my favorite), gloves, a gardening decoration, and perfume from Bath and Body Works called Forever Sunshine.  (That was my favorite part) You could add seed packets, etc.  I tied it all together in burlap. It was a hit.  This could also be a great Teacher Appreciation Gift.

wall collage

Here is an idea for a wall collage. I used the R and G for my boys' initials. The blue scalloped frame was a cheap frame from Michaels. They have a few different styles there. 

flannel wall for toy room

 Using 2 1/2 yards of flannel (60 wide), I made a fun flannel wall for the toy room. My 4 year old then told me what he would like for felt pieces. Using scissors, felt, and hot glue- I tried to create what he wants. It has been a fun project to work on with him, and there will be many more cut outs to come. He wants more roads, and dinosaurs next. We also use this wall for projecting movies- and the white flannel is perfect.
