Polar Bear Gift Bucket

This time of year, it’s always good to give the boys’ teachers a little thank you gift of some sort. I usually do so at Thanksgiving time, but didn’t get it done on time this year. Secretly, now that I’m done making these little buckets, I’m kind of glad I did miss my usual gifting date because I got to go with more of a winter theme!

Anyone that knows me really well, knows I can’t resist little buckets and filling them with things!  I found these recently at Target (Thankfully, after the whole security issue they had!).  I put some little goodies inside with a pen and a little notebook that looks a lot like an Oreo cookie!  I figured they’d appreciate at least a little calorie free goodness!  A gift card is always included because I know teachers need a few more things for their classrooms than what the school budget allows.

What about you?  Do you give any teachers little gifts this time or year and, if so, what gift ideas have you come up with over the years?
