We think of giving teachers gifts at back-to-school and Teacher Appreciation Week, but teachers would love a simple small gift ANY time of the year. Let’s face it, teachers are underappreciated and they do so much for our kids. I love the idea of making a simple gift like cookies or a small plant and giving it to a teacher to brighten up their day. Everyone loves to feel appreciated!

Three Easy Gift Ideas with Paper Gift Tags 

Here are three easy gift ideas with paper gift tags!

Simple Life Paper

I used paper from my My Simple Life line. I love the icons in the line. There are strawberries, lemons, vintage icons like pyrex bowls, mixers, even lamas!!

You’re Berry Sweet

Make a Berry theme gift! I planted a strawberry plant in a pot and created a simple tag with paper from My Simple Life Line. I added ribbon to the rim of the pot and tied the tag on!

Other berry gift ideas could be — berry jam, a baked berry pie or dessert, Berry candies in a jar, etc. There are so many possiblities!

Lemon Gift Idea with Paper Tag

The second gift idea I want to share with you is this little jar filled with lemon candies! I love lemon anything! All I did for this gift idea was wrap a jar with a strip of lemon paper from the My Bight Life line. To make sure the paper is the right size, lay the jar on top of the paper, mark the beginning and then roll the paper around the jar until it meets and mark that other end. Then cut it out and either hot glue the paper to the jar or I used glue dots.

Then I used lemon embellishment from My Bright Life line that says – every day is a fresh start. I just used a glue dot to attach that on top of the paper strip, and I tied a ribbon on the handle of the pail!

Other lemon ideas you could use for this gift idea are — lemon candies, lemon treats, even lemon essential oils!

Mug Gift Idea with Paper Tag

This is a great gift for a teacher. Take a mug and fill it with anything your teacher likes! I filled mine with paper flowers I created with My Bright Life paper and pom poms! That way my teacher can either use the mug or use the mug as a pretty focal point on her desk. I attached a tag with vintage teacups on it – that tag is on a paper in the My Bright Life line. So easy!

Other mug ideas could be — fill the mug with hot chocolate packets, out a Starbucks gift card inside, fill the mug with candies, fill the mug with a gift card to Target or an office supply company like Staples so the teacher can get classroom supplies. So many ideas!
