Movie Gift Basket

It's almost he end of the year, I can't believe school is almost out. With parent donations I put together another small gift basket for our teacher to tell her thanks for everything she does. I chose a dinner and a movie theme. I know how much time teachers spend in the classroom away from their own families to take care of our children, and I thought this would be a nice gesture to her.

So I was going to make a popcorn box for the teacher, but I had no card stock. Buying it just for one sheet would have been expensive. So I found a popcorn container in the dollar section at Target and we were good to go. First I had to find out her favorite restaurant. Luckily my anniversary is coming up and I used it as an excuse to ask where she and her family like to go.  I zipped over there while out on errands and picked up a movie gift card also. At Wal*Mart they have the 98cent boxed candies (the kind you see at the theater) so I picked up two. With some tape I put them together so they would quit falling inside.

Coffee cup gift card

Teacher appreciation week is upon us. If you're following me, you may already know about the coffee cozy I made. Through donations made from the parents I bought a gift card to Peet's coffee for our teacher. I just needed a nice way of displaying the cozy and the card. I saw the pin and decided to use the idea.  I took a clear cup and stuffed it with some brown paper. I had thought about putting the gift card inside, but didn't want her to think that the inside was empty and toss it out. So I taped the card to the straw and pulled the coffee cozy on. It will go inside the gift bag I have for her.

Teacher Gift bag

 So I have been working on these teacher cross stitches since the beginning of the school year! I had to make 9! I also added some candy inside.  I really hate buying expensive bags when half the people I know just toss them out. So I saw this on pintrest and had to use it. I went to the original bloggers site, printed the tag, wrote inside, cut it out. Then I added a hole punch through it and a brown paper bag, tied it off and I was done!
