Recycling was something my little 1st grader learned a lot about this year, so I thought this idea was also a nice real life learning lesson for her (yes, that’s me patting myself on the back). But seriously, this is my favorite salsa that comes in a jar. I prefer fresh but when that’s not possible this Green Mountain Gringo salsa is hard to beat. Plus, it keeps me well stocked in mason jars for things like this.
I made these candy jars for teacher appreciation week which was a few weeks ago. Remember those Anthro napkins I used to make the girl’s tote bag? I used the orange one to hide all the writing on the lid. Mod Podge is a wonderful thing isn’t it?!
* I promise to show you how these labels were created very soon. Just as soon I get the go ahead signal, I will shout it from the rooftops – and you all are going to love it! I can’t wait to spill all the deets and show you how I’ve been making all of these awesome labels!
Gift Idea #2:
I found these marshmallow skewers in the dollar spot at Target a few days ago and was immediately inspired to create a s’more gift basket. After searching both Target and then Walmart for a large plastic bucket and coming up empty hand, I opted to use these plastic crates I found at Walmart. I’m actually glad as these crates would be adorable with flatware corralled in the them for outdoor entertaining and the under $1.50 price tag wasn’t bad either.
The frames I already had on hand, and I again I used my magic label maker to create the card inside. The pinwheels I stole from the leftover sleepover party decor, and the little heart stickers were another dollar spot at Target find (at few months ago).
My kids headed off to school with these s’more gift baskets to give to their teachers today! I hope our teachers have a great summer vacation. They most definitely deserve some relaxation!
What is your go-to thank you gift idea? I like to have a few different ideas up my sleeve, so I’m not scrambling around trying to figure out what to give at the last minute.
Brilliant! Oh and yes, that is the best salsa ever. I love the S'mores basket. Can't wait to hear about these labels.
