quick & cheesy teacher appreciation gifts

i'm all for quick.
and the cheesier the better in my book!
( especially when you're talking pizza.. but i'm on a diet so there will be no pizza talking today! )


i made up these little labels in photoshop.
to help make it as easy as possible you can download them here.
i took a 12x12 sheet of paper and cut it down to 8.5x12 so it would fit in my printer.
then i cut out each tag according to how i wanted to use it.

you are o"fish"ally the best
i used a 3" circle punch on this one.
(if you don't have a 3" circle punch...
please get a coupon and go directly to your craft store and grab yourself one.
they come in really handy!!)
backed it in a 4" scalloped circle.

i used ribbon to tie it on a box of swedish fish.  of course you could put it directly on a bag of swedish fish you grab at the store. or even a package of goldfish crackers.



you are scent-sational
( i made this tag the same way as the last one. )
you could use this one with any smelly gift.
a candle. car freshener. pretty much anything bath and body works sells.



you deserve chocolate!!
carefully remove the wrapper off your chocolate bar and use it for a pattern.
wrap your new pattern around the chocolate and use some glue dots to glue it in place.


cut your tag out and punch a hole in the top corner.


grab some ribbon and tie a bow. easy peasy.


my teacher is AW-esome
i cut this label into a tag shape.
put some chocolate in a bag... and tied it all with a bow around the top of one of the bottles.
quick. check.
cheesy. check.
hope these ideas come in handy!!

eta: please find a list of all the fonts used HERE in this post.  :)

Hello! We are crating treats for 65 teachers (the hole staff)> Wondering if there is a way I could get just one phrase on a sheet multiple times? Does this make sense? :) THANKS!

CM2  – (January 18, 2011 at 11:21 AM)  

I love quirky and these are great, too bad I'm no longer in the education profession or I'd be putting them to work for my former colleagues. However, I saved them to use them for church thank you's, that always seem to crop up!
Appreciatively, CM2

Mary Ickert  – (May 9, 2011 at 2:50 PM)  

Okay this is just too adorable. Great idea and so creative. This helps me a ton to get out of my usual teacher gift rutt of candles and Starbucks gift card. Thanks for sharing.

Laura Miller  – (May 18, 2011 at 12:20 PM)  

I love these ideas, but I am so frustrated...I can't find a 3" circle punch or a 4" scalloped punch anywhere! I have checked Hobby Lobby, Michaels and scrapbooking stores. Where can I find them or am I mistaken on what I will need? Thanks!
Laura

Petals  – (May 26, 2011 at 8:42 AM)  

I love all of these. Perfect for my crafty classes my shop hosts.
Adorable!!

Britanny  – (December 6, 2011 at 3:19 PM)  

Where did you find your 4" scalloped punch? I can't seem to find one that big. Thanks for the cute ideas!!!

Tleshia  – (April 17, 2012 at 9:45 AM)  

Thank you, thank you, thank you, I was JUST asked to head up a group of mom's to do small gifts every day for a week during teacher appreciation for over 70 staff members at my daughter's school! This will make it super easy!!!
