Sharing an idea for Teacher gifts with you guys..

As I mentioned before, every day this week was a different theme. Today was Sweets for Teacher. Fruit or Candy.

I’m poor! Haha so here’s what I did (sorry no photos)

Target $1 bins
$1 for 3 mini tote bags (I got green but they had pink, blue and yellow)
$1 ribbon (comes with five patterns – about a foot each ribbon)

$5 in Candy at my grocery store – all individually wrapped of course
Choxie (??) Dark Chocolate truffle meltaways
Bag of assorted Lindt chocolate truffles
Bag of Hershey’s raspberry centered chocolate (fruit)

I already had double sided tape dispenser for Halloween to hang up stuff outside.
I already own thick and thin sharpy pins too

I wrote onto the totes (which is why I did the light green)
“Thank you – AJ” and drew some flowers on them (both sides of the tote)
I should have traced her hand but didn’t think of it.
AJ helped me evenly distribute ALL of the candy into each bag (she LOVES this – one here, one here, one there or one, two, there hahaha)
Used the double sided tape to close the tote
Then used the ribbon to make a bow on one set of the handles (one ribbon per bag)

Cheap easy and I have to say they looked really cute and they were super full of chocolate!
