Did you know you can make your own gift bags - and it’s actually super easy to do? Not only is it easy to make your own DIY gift bags, but it is very inexpensive! Easy and inexpensive - what more could you want! I plan on making some of these homemade gift bags for Christmas this year. So fun!
This is the perfect gift idea for new parents - homemade food! New parents are often exhausted and end up ordering take-out because with a new baby, they have no energy to cook for themselves. Prepare a few home-cooked meals and snacks for the new parents and I bet they will be extremely grateful!
Now this is a fantastic, fun teacher gift idea - teacher candy grams! Use candy bars to spell out a thank you message for teachers and give this fabulous gift to them in a BIG way. This candy gram idea could also work for friends, family members and - well, just about anyone. Just change up the words!
Check out these kids mason jars - aren’t they adorable? I just love the addition of toy animals to the lids. Too cute! With a light coat of spray paint, you have a fun kids mason jar that you can use for storing smaller items and keeping them organized.
These kids mason jars would also be a great DIY gift idea for birthdays and baby showers!
A back to school teacher gift that teachers will love - Sharpies! Everyone loves Sharpies and teachers especially. Give this easy DIY teacher gift as a back to school gift to make any teacher smile (especially with the cute quote!).
Laura created this fabulous gift set from dollar store items. Isn’t it fantastic? It would make a great gift for most people, but especially those that are moving into a new home.
She used the following items:
She alsoadded a bath and body works soap that she had, but you can buy a dollar store soap instead, if you want.
This great gift was made for under $15! (You can also add a nice plate or cake stand underneath so it looks even better.)
Do you know a special coach? Or a teacher who has really made a difference? Why not tell them you appreciate all they do? A thoughtful, simple gift - created by your child, would do the trick!
Every teacher I know, and every coach as well, uses clipboards - but they are pretty dull. With a little bit of glitter gravel, you can dress up a clipboard quick!
This craft is super simple - and can be done by older children all on their own!
Pour about 2 tablespoons of glitter gravel into a bowl. Apply hot glue to a one inch potion of the metal clip on the clipboard.
Press the glitter gravel into the hot glue.
Repeat until the whole clip is covered. Shake over a garbage, and add more glue and gravel where needed. After, you can glue a piece of pretty card stock to the clipboard, if you wish.
Be warned: this is messy. I did it on my own, without the help of my kiddos, and it was still messy! This would be a great outdoor activity, to cut down on the mess you need to clean up.
This stuff stays on remarkably well! My toddler was using it for a scavenger hunt and dropped it on the ground - and it still looks exactly the same as when I finished it.
I believe that it’s so important to show appreciation. Of course, this can be done with words and cards - but everyone likes to receive a gift, and this one is frugal, fun and very easy to make.
