I know I should’ve posted this winning pin a week or two ago, but I kinda forgot about it! I remembered when I was flipping through the pics on my phone and saw that I had taken a picture just to feature this. This is a great DIY teacher gift or party favor. I got the idea from Cortney when she featured this on her blog, linking up here at Pin for the Wednesdays! Here’s a link and photo to my original pin (which goes back to Cortney’s post).
As usual, mine’s a little different from the original. Here’s how these gifts turned out. I made one for Sophie’s school speech language pathologist and school occupational therapist.
I bought these tumblers at the Christmas Tree Shops for a really great price, then I filled them with drink packets – lemonade, flavored tea, fruit punch, etc. Finally, I put a picture of my cute little Sophie inside each tumbler as well. Since she’s going to a different school for kindergarten, her therapists from preschool will have something to remember her by. So I ended up with a cute, functional gift for Sophie’s therapists. This idea would also make a great party favor, I think!

I did this for Emmaline’s Pre-K teacher. She almost cried because since she is a teacher that comes to people’s homes once/week, she said she never gets gifts. I was glad that something so simple could make her that happy!
Posted early this week!!
And that is a great teacher gift. They get WAAAY too many mugs (especially if they are non-coffee drinkers), and those tumblers are great. Speaking of non-coffee drinking teachers, you should have your kids spy out their teachers each year to find out if they drink coffee before buying them a Starbucks gift card. I have given away so many gc’s to SB I lost count!
Good job!
My husband got one of these this year! It had a tag attached, saying, “Thank you for quenching our thirst for knowledge.” He’s used the tumbler every day since school got out. Great gift!
Great idea to use these for a party favor!
Better late than never. I like those tumblers btw.
