August 20, 2018 by Stacy Craft 9 Comments

This back to the grind teacher gift will be appreciated by your child’s teacher at the start of the school year. Use the free printable gift tag to fix this present up quicker than you can make your own cup of coffee.

Can you believe that it is time to start thinking about back to school again? As the last few days of summer come to a close, I have school supplies, backpacks, and brown bag lunches on my mind. Once I get the mandatory items out of the way, it is time to move on to taking care of those sweet teachers! With this back to the grind teacher gift, you will give him/her the lifeblood of the school year. COFFEE!

Coffee is how I make it through the days with my two little ones. I am not a teacher but I can only imagine if I had 10 or 20 little bitty babes running around. Talking. All. Day. Long. Yes, our teachers need some fancy, free coffee in their life on the first day of school. 

Don’t miss this $1 “Back to School Would Be Totally Nuts Without You” easy teacher gift too!

Back To The Grind Teacher Gift

I like this teacher appreciation gift because you can really customize it to the recipient and based on how much you want to spend. My little girl currently attends two different mother’s day out programs and has two teachers in each class. So even though I wish that I could shower all of them with everything that they deserve, I do have 4 teachers to buy for and I have to budget.

These ideas are great because you can tie the tag to one item or make a filled cup or basket. Either way they will love that you thought of them. And yeah they will love the caffeine boost too.

Teacher Coffee Gift Under $10

A simple and inexpensive gift for your child’s teacher can be made by purchasing a single coffee item and attaching the free printable below to it.

One of my goals this year is to give more. Even if the gift isn’t perfect. It does not have to be elaborate. Or amazing. It just has to show that I care. This is a tough one for me because I am a perfectionist. I want things to look like a Pinterest masterpiece. But the truth is that I don’t have time to give as much as I want if everything has to be perfect.

I’m finding more and more that most people just love to know that you thought of them. Teachers always seem to fall into that “should be appreciated more than they are” category. So this year, I’m going to give to them. It might be something nice and elaborate or it might just be a cup of coffee. And I hope that to the person receiving the gift that it won’t be JUST a cup of coffee. I hope that they will know how much we appreciate them taking care of our babies.

So here are some ideas for single items that would work well with the free back to the grind teacher gift tag printable. These are all around $10 or less making them pretty affordable but also still a nice treat. These can all be purchased on my favorite – Amazon – because I know you are busy at this time of year!

What are you doing to prep for back to school?

Delivery Driver Christmas Gift

November 24, 2018 by Stacy Craft 5 Comments

An easy delivery driver Christmas gift for the hard working UPS, USPS & FedEx employees that bring your presents to the door. Be sure to download the free printable!

A lot of packages come to my door all through out the year. It seems like I buy everything online these days! Even our toilet paper is dropped off by one of the delivery services. But at Christmas, the amount of packages arriving at my door increase a ton. With two young kids, shopping online just makes my life so much easier. So I wanted to find a way to give a fun delivery driver Christmas gift to those that help me during the season.

Delivery Driver Christmas Gift for UPS, FedEx & USPS

These delivery drivers work so hard all year but in particular at Christmas time. We get everything from stocking stuffers to the Hot LOL Surprise Doll toys delivered to our house.

In the summer they are in the sweltering heat without air hauling packages to your door. And in November and December, they are often braving cold temperatures and bad weather to get your gifts to you on time.

These drivers work long hours and often have to skip meals to make sure they get everything done. And even though I think lots of us are thankful for their service, it is often a thankless job. They drop the packages at the door, most of the time never even interacting with the recipient in a rush to get to their next delivery.

Yes, it is their job and they get paid for this service. However, I wanted a fun way to give a delivery driver Christmas gift this year to show our appreciation. Since I planned to do 3 of these (one for UPS, FedEx & USPS), I wanted it to be inexpensive yet cute and meaningful.

If you would like to give a delivery driver Christmas gift this year, be sure to download the free PDF file Here!

Then head over to Amazon and grab a $5 printable gift card. Some other fun ideas would be a $5 gift card to Starbucks for a cup of coffee to warm them up or a gift card to a fast food lunch spot.

You can make this a free way to give by redeeming your Swagbucks points for a gift card! If you are not using Swagbucks, you should be! You earn points by doing small tasks or just by searching the internet. I have personally redeemed points several times for gift cards valued between $5 and $25. Follow this link to sign up!

Creating the Gift

UPS - FedEx - USPS Delivery Driver Employee Frugal Christmas Gift to give this holiday season

The gift is super simple to put together. Simply print the printable file. It is going to print just slightly smaller than a standard size of printer paper.

Trim the edges if you wish and then affix your gift card. I used an Amazon printable and just trimmed it up to fit. It will also fit a standard plastic gift card that you might purchase from a retail store. Use double sided tape to affix the card.

Sign the bottom & remember to add a “To” section, so that the driver knows to take the gift. I just taped the card to my window. You could also use some cute ribbon to tie it to the door knob.

Do you love to reward the service workers in your life?
