Last Day of School + Teacher Gifts = Summer Vacation

I'm always so last minute about teacher gifts. I think about them for weeks. And nothing comes. Then the day before I figure it out and start scrambling.

Here's what we came up with for this year....

A Starbucks gift card, a handmade coffee cozy made by me with a little note "thanks a latte" inspired by this post here by Eighteen25. Switching it up to make it my own.

This coffee cozy was for Blake's teacher. He asked her earlier this week what her favorite color was and she told him Red and Pink!

We also included a jar of my homemade Lemongrass Sugar Scrub for his teacher, and one for his nursing aide. These free tags were found here.  I thought the little tag 'thanks so much for making this year so sweet' was a perfect combo for SUGAR SCRUB!

Kaia has had a favorite teacher for the past two years....Mr. Beck. He is retiring this year. She wanted to give him something as a thank you. She said he loves his coffee.

I came up with a manly version of the coffee cozy using some of this sweet vintage plaid print that my mother-in-law gifted me. Add a brown button and I thought it was perfectly 'manly!'

Kaia is starting high school in August. She has a great group of girlfriends. Today they are signing yearbooks and hanging out one last time as middle schoolers.

She's handing out one of these to each of her girlfriends.....

Guess what we are doing tomorrow morning....our first day of summer break?

Sleeping in! Well at least the kids will. My internal alarm clocks wakes me up at 5:50 every morning.
