I know I’m too late for some of you, but we here in the Pacific NW are still in the throws of school. 3 more weeks left……..I guess that explains why we’re smarter here. :)
Oh, yes I did………I just said that and if you know me……I am TEASING! :)
But for us poor souls still in school, you are no doubt starting to panic about teacher appreciation gifts. Especially if you like your teacher.
My son’s teacher reads my personal blog…….I think she may read this one too……She’s fabulous! We love her and his math teacher too. We are very very fortunate to have them this year.
OK…….I found a few quick and cute ideas from eighteen25……One of my featured bloggers sent me their site…….Thank you Meg. These gals named their blog after the address they grew up with in Vegas. Cute isn’t it?
Cute and quick…….. Cute packaging goes a long way, because I’m sure if you just stuck this smelly thing in a card, the teacher may get the wrong idea. But add the cute packaging and the cute saying and suddenly you are the most wonderful parent in her class!Similar packaging with Swedish fish. Once again, you’d win some creative points here.
They have so much more on their site besides teacher gifts, but since I am desperate, that’s what you’re getting today. what I do love is they show tutorials for all these……..the last thing I want to do is figure out how they made it look so cute. Whew…….thank you. What teacher doesn’t like chocolate? Certainly not a sweet one. Maybe we could give lemon drops to the sour pusses?….. I thought this was clever. So cute. And once again……if you waltzed in the Principals office with a six pack……..of soda…..they may not see what a great gift it really is. So be sure to add the chocolate and the cute tag. If you don’t have the cute tag and chocolate…..then better make that six pack something a little stronger. This has nothing to do with teacher appreciation gifts, or Easter really. I just liked it. I love the blue and I love the silhouette.
This blog is fresh, and full of lots of ideas to keep you going. Don’t disappoint me…..if I’m giving away a Lisa Leonard necklace each month, I hope you’ll at least do me a favor and leave a lovely comment when you visit my features.

These are adorable ideas! I think I'm going to have to print and save a whole bunch of teacher gift ideas ready for when my son is old enough for school!
Hi, wrapping a chocolate bar is one of my fav!Happy to discover your blog :)
Ridiculous that I'm still up at this time. Or maybe not since I'm a mama and all. But whatevs. Here I am. Reading this lovely blog and loving these ideas. Definitely adds a little pizzaz these labels and such. Thanks for the ideas. That necklace is CUTE!
Yes, these are wonderful, I just came across their blog myself and was really impressed1
Love the soda gift. I like to to buy the six packs in the cardboard carriers (Grape or Orange CRUSH,etc) take a bottle or 2 out, then fill thse 2 holes withcolor-coordinated candies, gum & sometimes a gift card. Fill in all the open crevices with color coordinated shredded paper and add a couple of extra ribbons. Kids and adults love them.
Packaging is really under-rated! It can take the most simple gift and give it real pizazz! This blog is full of awesome ideas~thanks for sharing it!
LUV that tray!
I love these, I already have them printed for my daughters teachers!
Thanks!
Love the chocolate bar, adorable!

These are some great ideas! What I really like is that most of these would work just as well for men as they do for women! So many teacher gift ideas are focused around women and my husband is a teacher, so I like to see great ideas that are good for men!
I will be using that chocolate idea! You always get my creative juices flowing THANKS!!!
I always wondered how to do the chocolate bar wrap. Now I see the pic and I think, "duh, why didn't I get that a long time ago?!" I love the ribbon that gives it the extra touch! thanks for the ideas
Gosh you almost make this old woman to have young kids in school again, just to get to make these pretties. Wonderful ideals.
How cute! You could even use some of those ideas as party favors too!
Great ideas :) Hi, I found you on Blog Frog and am now following you on FB & Twitter!
Hope you can pop by mine, too :)
Thanks,

If I came to school and found one of those adorable gifts on my desk, I would cry real tears. Sooo cute!!!
3 more weeks? You poor thing! We lost some state funding, so it looks like our school district is going to cut out 3 days. I think that next week will be the last!! Does that make your kids a little bit smarter than mine? LOL!!
Great ideas here!! Thanks for sharing!
According to friends that are teachers, sweets, gift cards and wine are preferred gifts. One gal said tequila but I think she was kidding. Hmm, maybe not.
Oooh, I needed some ideas like that!
I still have to make a teacher's gift, so thanks for reminding me!! :)
I really like all the play-on words- very clever, and I'm sure any teacher would love them;)
so many cute ideas on their blog! Definitely following them from now on:)
You are so right...cute packaging can turn anything into a great present.
Cute ideas! I also love the packaging....just makes the gift that much better!
Such fun ideas!!!
Love these ideas! Wish I'd seen something like this in April! :)
As a teacher, I can say that any of these gifts would be appreciated!
Beautiful blog!

Super cute ideas! Love the A&W root beer one!
Having typed in 'creative ideas' blogspot into my search, your blog came up first and how happy am I?
This is a great blog and as an educator I'm loving the gift ideas. Thank you for sharing your creativity! Felicity
These ideas are too cute, and actually look pretty do-able. They perfectly illustrate that creative packaging can make even the most basic items completely gift-worthy! (PS - love your blog!)
Ooo I love swedish fish! haha
Just stumbled upon this blog... I'll be back! :)
What FAB ideas! I think the root beer is my fave!
Love it! Love it! Love it! I am in the Pacific NW as well and will be making these for the teachers in our lives. Thank you!
These gals are FABULOUS! I am so copying several of their ideas... esp. that teacher supply box... with clips, push pins, and CHOCOLATE! Awesome.
Very cute ideas! Those tags are really cute -- fonts, colors and clever wording.
Thanks for sharing these great ideas, and the website too! Love your blog, and intend to return many times!!
These are so cute. I wish you were on the right coast instead of the left. Could use some good teacher appreciation gifts. Oh well.
My sister is a teacher and I think these are adorable - I am going to forward these to her - since she has assistants that she gets things for...
yay!! i am so glad you liked it as much as i did! i was SUPER impressed with her site. :)
happy weekend kim!
I love love love the chocolate bar! Such a simple way to add a personal touch it makes me mentally kick my self that I never before thought to do it!
