Five Awesome Grandparent Gift Ideas

Hi! It's Jilly. A couple months ago I was part of the Gift It! Series on my friend Kim's blog- Bugaboo, Mini, Mr, and Me. It's a great series that I love participating in!

Christmas is coming up soon. (I know...I said the "C" word before Halloween...) Sometimes it's hard to think of a good gift for the grandparents--sentimental, but something they'll actually like. Ha ha!
 I've compiled some ideas for you. You should be able to find something in this list that the grandparents on your list will go gaga for!

Teacher Gift: Summer Goodies Cup + FREE Printable!

Hi! It's Jilly. Today is the LAST day of school! Hooray! I wanted to say "Thanks" to the kids' teachers, so I put together this little gift for them.

I found these cups at Dollar Tree and filled them with goodies! I included a set of polka dot notecards, a Sudoku book, a pencil, some packets of True Lemon, SweeTarts, and some minty lifesavers.

Then I tied on a tag that says "Have a REFRESHING and RELAXING Summer!". Click HERE for your FREE printable! There are two tags per page. I printed them on cardstock for extra sturdiness. :)

I hope their teachers like them! These would also be fabulous gifts for family, friends, neighbors, or girls you visit teach (for our LDS readers).

Father's Day Bookmark

Hi! It's Jilly. Need a fast, easy, inexpensive, AND meaningful Father's Day craft? Well, look no further!

I'm in charge of planning mid-week activities for the 8-11 year old kids at church. I wanted to think of something outside of the "coupon book" box for the kids to make their Dads for Father's Day.

I was inspired by these bookmarks my kids gave me a couple years ago. I love them so much that I have them taped to the inside of one of my kitchen cabinets so I can look at them all the time!

Wanna make one? Here's how.

1) Cut a piece of scrapbook paper the size of a bookmark.

2) Have the kids write on the "plain" side "I love my Dad because...", and have them fill in reasons they love their Dad. Don't forget to write the date on it!

3) The bookmarks I got from my kids a couple years ago had their pictures on them, but I was unable to do that with my kids from church. But, you could just glue a small picture on whichever side of the bookmark you'd like if you wanted to.

4) Laminate the bookmark so it stays nice.

5) Ta da! Give it to Dad with pride!



I love how cheap and easy this craft is! Let me know if you make one!
