I can't even begin to say how much I appreciate his teacher this year. He is phenomenal. Absolutely amazing and deserves much more appreciation than I'm able to convey with a few gifts through the year.
Sticking true to myself I waited until the last possible minute to figure out what I was going to take for the end of year teacher appreciation gift. Trusty Pinterest didn't let me down. I did change how I packaged the gift but the overall idea originally came from a pin I saw on there.
Armed with that info I went to Wal-Mart to see what I could come up with. I found the drink dispenser and fell in love with it. This one in the picture is a 2 gallon capacity and plastic. There was also one half that size that was actual glass. However, the drink mixes wouldn't fit through the opening at all on the smaller one so I decided on the larger one and added a second drink mix.
I opened the graham crackers and layered the little packages in the very bottom. I put the bag of marshmallows on top of those and then tucked the candy bars into the front and back. The glow bracelets I just thought were a fun little bonus as he has young kids that will probably enjoy them if they spend an evening outside around a fire making s'mores. I stuck those in the back. My only problem was getting both drink mix containers in there. I'm really hoping he can get them back out. They are snug!
Printed up a quick Thank You on cardstock and asked my kiddo what he wanted to say to his teacher. I told him how to spell the words as he wrote it. Tied it on with a ribbon and it was complete. I hope he enjoys it and takes a much deserved break this summer to just enjoy a little time to himself and with his family.
