Teacher Valentine Gifts
Last week I rounded up all of the teacher Valentine’s Day gifts I’ve shared in the past and I promised that I would also feature what I’m doing this year. Here it is! This year my daughter has multiple teachers, which has made the entire teacher-gifting experience a bit more of a challenge. For Valentine’s day I decided to keep it small. I made each teacher a quilted bookmark and I’m going to pair these with some cookies. I’m really trying to create handmade gifts that will actually be used and appreciated!

Student Gift Ideas
Do you give your students holiday gifts? I’ve gone back and forth over the years, and truly it depends on the group. Some classes work their way into my heart and I want to give them gifts, other groups need a little something special from me because I know that they may not have the greatest holiday season otherwise. On the other hands, I know that some groups won’t appreciate anything that I give them and it’ll end up in the trash. It is what it is. If you’re looking for some proven student gift ideas that are always a hit, here are my top picks. All links are affiliates.…

Christmas Gifts for Preschoolers 2025
You all know that my heart belongs to preschool. Shopping for kids in this age group is so fun because they’re starting to figure out what they really enjoy and they can be vocal about what they love (and don’t love). They’ve got these great little personalities and buying Christmas gifts for preschoolers feels like celebrating the people they’re becoming. Here are my top picks for this year, all links are affiliates. Tender Leaf Toys Waggy Tails Dog Salon – Anything from Tender Leaf Toys is a sure bet.

Valentine Teacher Gift
Can you believe we’ve reached this point in the year?! That’s right, it’s time to figure out a valentine’s day gift for your kids’ teachers. This is one of those holidays that can be so tempting to just phone it in and buy the heart shaped coffee mug, but I’ve got a really fun idea for you instead! I’ve completely fallen into the cult of homemade sourdough, so this year I’m gifting teachers a fresh loaf with some other goodies. Here’s what I’ve got planned (all links are affiliates). Brown paper bread bags – These say “elevated home baker” for sure. Make your gift look like something that comes from…

Quick Halloween Teacher Gift
It’s always been my mission to make sure that my daughter’s teachers know they’re appreciated – because it’s something that teachers don’t hear enough. Sometimes that looks like personal, handmade gifts, and sometimes there just isn’t time for that! Here’s a quick and easy Halloween gift that I I just put together. Who doesn’t love a Halloween movie night? I found a bucket at the Dollar Tree, added some movie theater candy, Halloween Peeps, candy corn, and our family’s famous homemade kettle corn (but any popcorn would work). Then I tied on this cute tag, and decided to share it with you. You can download your own tags here. I…

DIY Mother’s Day Gift Idea
I’ve been all about the upcycle lately, and our Mother’s Day Gift is no exception! This painted vase couldn’t be more simple, and the easy projects often pack the biggest punch. These vases can be made with any glass jar or bottle. I used the bottles from Trader Joe’s sparkling lemonade because they’re so fun and fancy. We used acrylic paint and a 1/2 inch wide paint brush to create the paint strokes. That’s it! We’ll put some flowers in them and have an easy, eco-friendly, economical gift for the important ladies in our lives.
