Teacher Appreciation Week - Saying Thanks without breaking the bank

It National Teacher Appreciation week. Sometime it can be hard to figure out a gift for someone without spending a fortune. Well leave it to the creative woman of blog land to come up with some awesome CREATIVE ways to give without breaking open your kids' piggy bank!

Here are a few I found for you!

What about a boo-boo box for the classroom? I think this is SO cute! :) And a great way to use any FREE Johnson and Johnson First aid kits you may have picked up with coupons!
Go HERE for the FREE tutorial with FREE printable!








Did you get some free samples of coffee? Check out this Teacher's Survival Kit you can use them in!






Awhile ago there was a deal for a $5 Starbucks card for just $1. This would be a cute way to give that as a gift! Check out Skip to My Lou for the details!









You can get Scissors at Target this week for just $0.49! Dress them up for a utilitarian gift! Details HERE





There are lots of great containers out there on clearance from Easter. I know Target had a bunch of little tin buckets like this. And you can get gardening gloves, faux flower, seeds and maybe chalkboard stickers all at the dollar tree! Tutorial HERE








Do you have some freebies/cheapies in your stockpile from Bath & Body Works? Or maybe some free glade products? (I just got my coupon for a free one in the mail a few days ago!) Check out how you can spruce it up with a FREE cute PRINTABLE tag HERE! She has more great ideas with printables too for chocolate bars and more!





I think this is so cute! You can pick up sunglasses and holders at dollar tree and just add the tag if you are not a sewer! This is great for this time of year! HERE ya go!





I just love this! You could do this gift for $1 at the most! They have frames this size at the Dollar Tree all the time! Then just print the quote and gather some sticks and glue! Found this HERE

Bloggers can even make a simple bottle of hand sanitizer look like a great gift! What teacher doesn't need hand sanitizer! See it HERE










I hope the creativity bug has hit you and you have found some inspiration! Check back later this week for a Mother's Day Gift roundup!
