This week is the school book fair and Ryan and I went to choose some books for his new teacher. It was a treat I received from thoughtful parents in my teaching days, so I suppose I want to reciprocate now that I’m on the parent end. Plus, I can’t resist browsing children’s literature–one of those things that makes me giddy! So glad my kids feel the same way.
To make the books a little more special we added some pretty packaging. Dollar store kraft paper makes some of the best wrapping paper.
Embellished the package with some simple twine “ribbon”, a scrap of an old dictionary page glued to a library pocket envelope, and a note written on a library index card (purchased at a school supply store).
Topped it off with a stack of bookplates (free printables here).
All ready for a special morning delivery!
And now, I’m wondering, what are your favorite teacher gift ideas? Teacher appreciation week is approaching, and one must be versed in these celebrations! 
Hi Pam! When you commented to me on the Indie Biz chat I had to pop over here and take a look at your blog. It is adorable! Your photos are wonderful and your family is beautiful. It is so nice to meet you! I would love your constructive criticism.
