Finding a cute way to thank your children’s teachers is always a bonus during the holiday season!  This easy idea will have everyone smiling with joy, peace and good cheer!

I ordered mini wooden scoops printed with Joy, Peace, Cheer from Sucre Shop on Etsy.  The scoops are perfect for candy dishes, nut dishes, or ice buckets!  Place the scoops inside of a cupcake wrapper and fill with a treat of your choice!

I used colorful wrapped candies from the grocery aisles and pistachios.  Pistachios offer a welcome change from the many yummy sweet treats that we enjoy during the holidays.  I especially like the pistachios for the male P.E. coaches on the list!

I slipped the filled cupcake wrapper into a cellophane bag and tied with a ribbon.  Attach a tag to the ribbon and you are all set!

For this gift idea, you will need cupcake wrappers or some small cup, nuts or candies, wooden scoops, cellophane bags, ribbon, and a gift tag. 

These also make a cute hostess gift!  And, you can use a small candy dish if you would like to substitute the paper wrapper for more of a keepsake.

Here is a better look at the cute, little scoops!  I just love them!  I am also thinking they would be equally cute tied to a bag of bath salts!

My children go to a close-knit school with many wonderful teachers that contribute to their daily routines at school.  I am excited to be able to let each of them know we are thinking of them and that we appreciate them so much!

How about you?  How do you spread good cheer to the teachers in your lives?  I would love to hear your great ideas!  We have over 20 teachers (including art, music, PE, media, foreign language, etc.) that we are lucky to have interacting with our children each week, and I always love great teacher gift ideas!  Please feel free to share!

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time!  My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun!  Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes!  For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor!  So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child! 

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party!  For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!  So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan!  It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN!  Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”. 

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY

What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books!  I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series.  It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie!  Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way.  At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books,  and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!
