Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. My kid's schools are in full swing having breakfasts, luncheons, dessert bars, & flowers for the teachers. And in just a few weeks we'll be giving end of year teacher gifts! Can you believe it? School is almost out! For the 1st time, I'm really looking forward to this summer. I used to dread entertaining the kids during the long summer days & keeping them from tearing each other up! But w/ a new baby on board, I'm looking forward to a little R&R time. And...it's my last summer w/ my 4 year old before he goes to big boy school...all day every day!

Anywho-I'd like to share some Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas w/ you. These would make good End-Of-Year Teacher Gifts as well! :)

*First, I found this post over at Accidental Mommies that shares places that are giving FREE meals to teachers this week! Yay for our teachers!

Found these cute little homemade reversible tote bags over at Mammalicious Finds.
Not sure how much you are spending on your teacher, but this would make a good Mother's Day gift too. I just love her custom vintage frames so I had to show you this from Sweet Lily Design. Ooh la la!!!
And what girl doesn't love a good candle? These soy candles can be found over at Caterpillarscandles. If you don't know all the benefits of soy candles, you can read about them at their site as well. I used to make and sell my own Soy &&B products & candles, so trust me, go soy girls!! :)
Well, I have spent way too much time browsing the internet to find these little lovelies, so I'm off to take care of my motherly duties! Have a blessed day!

P.S. A few more Mother's Day posts to share w/ you:
