There are lots of fun ideas for a "pampering" gift, but I wanted to steer clear of bath gels and candles... I figure teachers get a ton of that stuff. So I found these super soft neck wraps at Kohl's that you heat up in the microwave. Regular price was $14 each, but are things ever not on sale at Kohl's? These were 60% off, plus I had a 20% off shopping pass, so they ended up being less than $5 each. Then I wrapped those up with a magazine and secured it with fun ribbon and a tag with a cute poem. By far the easiest gift of the bunch!
And though Sam won't be there tomorrow, I did want to contribute a little something for Friday's theme - which is "something for the classroom." I mentioned this CD in my list of favorite baby items. I know every dang word to every stinkin' song on this thing. It's awesome. And I may or may not listen to it at work sometimes when I'm missing my little man. So we got a copy for the class!
I had such fun coming up with these fun gifts and putting them together. Not too shabby for our first run... especially on one week's notice! You can bet your britches it's on my calendar already for next year. And it's also got me thinking about other occasions when teacher typically get gifts... Christmas... birthdays (?)... when else? He's in daycare year-round, so there's not really a beginning or end of year yet (as far as gift speak). What else do I need to prepared for? This is all new territory.

Did you get to see what other parents brought? Were they all as fabulous as yours? Were any as fabulous as yours? They are all so cute. This one and the survival kit are my favs!
