It is that time of the year! Pretty soon buses will be running again and children will be headed back to school. So, why not talk about a really cute, easy, and budget friendly gift to give your child’s new teacher? Love it- let’s talk about it!

We are making this really adorable little vase with flowers:

This idea comes from Marci Coombs and Giggles Galore , and it is just so cute and clever.

What you need is:

• one clean mason jar or other clear vase (Dollar Tree has some simple nice looking ones)

• a bag of magnetic letters (you may have tons of these at your house already on your fridge and you can spare a few, or Dollar Tree or Walmart usually carry them)

• pretty ribbon of your choice

• a bouquet of flowers, either from your garden or grocery store (you can get small bouquets often for $5 or less!)

Instead of a ‘thank you’ tag as the picture shows, it could just sport a pretty bow or you could make a tag with the new teacher’s name.

Voilà! So simple and cute to boot! What teacher wouldn’t love something so sweet sitting on her desk as the new school year begins?
