As part of my plans in the lead up to Christmas, I like to get a head start on the 60 or so gifts that I'd like my children to give their school and kindy mates and teachers. I like it to be a heart felt gift from my child so their involvement is imperative. Most of the other kids give candy canes and that's okay but my kids finish up eating candy canes until June so I just like to give something a little different. It's usually something sweet as well but maybe with a small message. I've got nearly 30 for school and over 20 for kindergarten. There's also 3 school teachers and 4 at kindy. Busy days ahead. Here's a few ideas I've pinned this week.
Reindeer food
Coated marshmallows (or sugarplums if you like)
Thank you note stationery with child's personally drawn image
Chinese takeaway container full of fortune cookies
Hand cream holder
Marshmallow poop
Recycled containers full of sweets
Gumdrop (or soft jube) Christmas Tree on a stick
Gumdrop (or soft jube) Santa on a stick
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Noses
Macaroni Christmas Decoration

Love these pins, Anne! They're all so cute - especially the reindeer noses and snowman poop :) Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteClever ideas! You're committed to make so many! I'd go with the rudolph noses - nice and easy ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the reindeer noses Anne!
ReplyDeleteThey are all such fab ideas, I thnk I want to do every one of them he he he!
ReplyDeleteWhat great ideas! Now to decide which ones to make!
ReplyDeleteSnowman poop! Priceless! Great pins :)
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely ideas! My favourite is the reindeer noses...I might do some of those myself. Thanks so much for linking up xxx
ReplyDeleteThey are all awesome such brilliant ideas :-)
ReplyDeleteI am off to bookmark a few of these. Such great ideas.
ReplyDeleteohh great ideas! i need a present for a teacher this week actually so i think hand cream with some hands is gonna be it.
ReplyDeletegood one thanks!
I've done those marshmallow pops. They are easy. THe sticks are expensive here though. Craft and baking supplies are so expensive here, it's cheaper to just buy something already made. Of course, it's not nearly as nice.
ReplyDeleteIf it were me, I'd tackle the one I want, but have some supplies on hand for the simplest in case I decided to scrap it all and just go read some blogs. :)
Great ideas Anne! Kids are delighted with anything having to do with poop so I'm sure the reindeer poop would be a huge hit!
ReplyDeleteThe suits are expensive here, though. Crafts and cooking utensils are so expensive here, it's cheaper to buy something already made. Of course, not so nice.
