Big Brother headed back to school this week (a 1st grader!!) and took a little back to school gift to his new teacher, hoping for a “smoothie“ year! 😉 
We had already taken in the school supplies in the cute DIY teacher chalkboard tote bag, so I thought something not quite so “teacher-y” would be nice. Cups like these are my favorite! And, it seems like you can find them everywhere these days (usually ranging in price from about $4-$10)! So, we chose one while we were back to school shopping. Big Brother of course picked blue, his favorite color! Ha! 😉 Inside the cup, we added a couple of gift cards to Jamba Juice. 
Really, gift cards to any sort of place that does good smoothies would work with the saying! All I did for that is just grab some free “smoothie” clip art and make a little tag that says, “Hope we have a smoothie school year!” 🙂 Put the gift cards inside the cup and tie the tag on with a little ribbon! That’s it! Simple and sweet! 
Big Brother was pretty excited for the first day of school now that he has a year under his belt! He looked so grown up and sweet carrying it in to his teacher! 
Do you send any gifts for the teacher during the first week of school?

My son goes to a small charter school. The first day I school I baked a tray of Cranberry-Orange biscotti for the teachers and staff. I had a sign that said,” Welcome back. Here is an afternoon snack.” It was a big hit.
