I am always on the hunt for cute, practical, inexpensive, and not-too-time-consuming teacher gifts. That is a lot of boxes to check. I am very excited about this year’s gift, because I think I checked every box. I found tea towels at Crate & Barrel for $2.95 each (on clearance). I bought 1 yard of white cotton fabric and 12 bottles of Archer Farms caramel latte drink. The pear towels were very cute all by themselves, but I thought that they needed a little something “special”. A ruffle adds cuteness to anything, including a towel, so a ruffle is what they got. Sewing the ruffles and putting them on, took very little time…just straight seems. I wrapped them around the glass latte bottles and added a pear shaped gift tag that read…
Thank you for being a “pear”fect blessing in my life. Merry Christmas!

Who can’t use another tea towel in their kitchen? If you can’t, please don’t tell me. It would just ruin all this excitement over the cute, practical, inexpensive, not-too-time-consuming gift I thought I had! If you have any other ideas that check even a couple of the boxes send them my way!

I was just telling Amy a few days ago about your thoughtful teacher gifts each year. I honestly don't know how you do it. My creativity at this point in the season is sucked dry. I can usually do a little better than a gift card, but I have never been able to get the "inexpensive" part down (although that, I realize, is relative).
