Go Ahead, Hate me.
All of my shopping is complete. I finished the holiday letter this morning and after I proof it, it will be electronically submitted and printed. I just have one more thing to do.
Teacher gifts.
I have my ideas for teacher gifts. This is the last thing on my list. It gets me EVERY year. I know, it isn’t necessary, right? But if you knew what Bugaboo’s teachers and staff did for him? You’d wanna buy them a pony. Or a car. Or a house. They mean that much. Or an elephant, or a whole country or steak or coffee…
So here are a few of my ideas:
Gift certs for the local coffee/convenience store (people who live here LOVE this place)
Sinus pillows (made these last year, but Bugaboo is at a new school so I could easily make them again!)
Thoughts?? I want it to be reasonably priced, meaningful and easy for me. I know when I was still working in schools, these would have been lovely to have, instead of ANOTHER coffee mug or ANOTHER plant or ANOTHER #1 teacher ornament. It’s the thought that counts…but I want the thought to be fondly remembered. And I don’t want to break the bank, since I already blew my budget this year (I had to have the Dansko clogs. I waited two years. They were discontinued. Please don’t hate me!).
I was drooling all over Dansko’s site yesterday. I really want a pair, I’ve never had a pair of my own but I always shove my feet in other people’s.
Wawa is mecca.
But the reusable bag idea is wonderful.
I would love a sinus pillow. What do you put in them?
I always do foodstuffs for teachers. Yeah, it’s boring.
I like the reusable bag idea too. It seems pertinent to teachers. They are always schlepping.
In fact, I may steal it.

Target? Always a great gift card.
Sinus pillows for Bugaboo’s school. The reusable gift bags (if you insist on pulling a Martha) or the gift cards for Bug Boy. Having said that – wanna do some shopping for me? LOL
Oh God. Teachers? I didn’t even think of this yet. (First year with preschool.) Thanks for reminding me. (AND TOTALLY STRESSING ME OUT.)
Ruth–your foodstuffs? Never boring.
Whatever’s easiest for you but I have a bag fetish so that’s my vote.
First off, I DO HATE you! LOL Actually my shopping is coming together pretty well. I am still debating though on making my Nieces hate me for buying their girls yet one more doll.. I LOVE dolls! The kids love them, but their Moms say enough! Once again I can’t seem to figure out what to buy my 85 yr old Dad.
Tote bags are great teachers gifts.
