Teacher Gifts

Another post that's too little, too late.  I told ya I'm not organized this month!

Ok, enough beating myself up over my scheduling.  Here's this years' teacher gift.

This year has been quite a challenge.  Being in a new school (a school that has a lot of activities for a room mom to handle) and setting up house and just plain being a human has been very time consuming.

I didn't have time to make gifts, but that doesn't mean I didn't put a ton of love into them.  I bought a pack of nifty pens (and I got to keep the left overs, so yay), a couple packs of owl and hedgehog sticky notes (I didn't have enough for me, boo), some chocolates  (another yay), and a notebook (double yay because I got them in the dollar isle at Target, and I got one for myself).

That's about it this year.  I wish I had been more purposeful and deliberate in my teacher gift giving, but stuff happens.  I think I did well with them.

Do you have any teacher gift ideas that you like?  I may need some for teacher appreciation week ;)

It's a Tough One

Thank you, Target, for
the awesome dollar
aisle finds!

Do you guys have people on your Holiday shopping lists that are super hard to buy for?  I do.  I stress and stress about what to get them, or what to make (since I really love giving handmade gifts).

I have a simple idea that I'm going to try out this year.  I'm going to make a list, and for each person that is difficult to buy for, I'm going to list their likes and hobbies.  I'm going to creep Pinterest for ideas from their boards, and hopefully score "best gift giver" this year (yeah, I know it isn't about being the best at it, but it feels pretty great to know you hit a home run with the gift, right?)

What about yourself?  Are you difficult to shop for?  Who said that wish lists are reserved for only the children?  I see no harm in writing out a wish list, so when asked, you can go to that list.  Or you can use it as a way to drop hints.  Just hang it on the fridge ;)

Let's give it a try!  Happy shopping!!

Christmas Shopping

These Bowties are my absolute
FAVORITE!!

Now that Halloween is over, is it too early to talk about Christmas shopping? 

This is totally a shameless plug for my Etsy shop!  Beach Bird Yarnworks has some awesome Christmas gift ideas!

We have ear warmer/headbands that are super soft and come in any color you can imagine!

Our beanies are awesome for keeping warm on those cold winter days!  They also come in any color, and can be made for guys or girls, with or without a bow or flower!

Have a friend or family member that loves a relaxing bath?  We have just the thing!  Our bath bags come with two cotton wash cloths, two cotton face scrubbies, a headband to keep flyaway hair from getting wet, and a matching drawstring bag to hold all of their bath goodies!

Stop by and check us out!  If we don't have something you want, just ask, chances are it can be done!
