WFMW: Valentine's Day Gifts for Teachers

I love Valentine's Day! All that pink and red... In addition to all the grown-up romantic plans, I plan fun activities for my boys that day... heart shaped pizza, strawberry milkshakes, gifts, etc.

Just like you, we have many people with which to "share the love" on Valentine's Day. In that list of special people we count our boys' teachers. We will be sending a simple gift for them to enjoy with thier families on Valentine's Day.

The teacher gifts are pretty and simple. I wrap up a boxed cake mix (special Valentine's Day mix or red velvet), a tub of icing to go with the cake mix, and a Valentine's Day dishtowel. (Red hots or pink M&M's can go along with this too.)

Pretty and simple. That's what works for me.

Leave a comment and then head on over to Shannon's to catch up on some more great tips.

You're ambitious. I didn't even get around to doing Christmas gifts for the teachers.

Thanks for your comment on my backpack rack. I LOVE to use it for my purse, too. There are 8 hooks on it, that all adjust up and down so there are a ton of options!

Ohhh, to be a teacher for your kids! That sounds awesome and I'm sure the teachers definitely appreciate it, too!

As a former teacher, I know I would have been absolutely delighted with a gift like that! I would store the cake mix, give the icing to my husband to eat with his Ritz crackers, and scarf down all the M&M's!

Cute, cute, cute! Our Wal-mart has some gorgeous red and pink heart dishtowels, I'm so copying you!
