Inexpensive Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas

The picture above was taken from The Executive Homemaker. And if you go there you will find the template to print the label for these s'mores! It is just too cute to not share with my readers!

I also found the most FANTASTIC list of thrifty gift ideas - I just had to share them with you!!! These would be great to give to your children's Sunday School Teachers, Pastors, and School Teachers.

I thank the Lord for the outstanding teachers (they can make or break a year!). Teachers need to know that their investment in our children's lives are appreciated. Take the time to pick up something small and let your children write out the card to show show their gratitude.

Walk with the King!
