Every year teachers get so much STUFF during the holiday time. Mugs, candy, bags, etc. I really enjoy giving a gift that has a special meaning attached to it, but don’t usually have a lot of money to make that happen.
This year, as my husband and I started talking about ideas for Christmas gifts we came across a few posts about “minimalist gift ideas.” They are a little different then you might think. One of my favorites ideas was to focus on giving gifts that create experiences. I thought this would be perfect for a teachers gift… but how to do this on a small budget?
This is the idea that came to me::
What’s in the jar::
1. cranberries
2. popcorn cornels
3. 1 needle
4. bakers twine
5. mason jar (I thought the blue was festive)
It’s a gift of memories with friends and family. It includes all the “ingredients” needed to spend time with someone(s) special in their life. Either to make a holiday decoration, or a special snack with the yummy smells of the holiday. It’s simple, but meaningful.
