Christmas Shopping at the Dollar Store

rebeca Wednesday, December 7, 2011

In the spirit of my sister’s tradition, I took my 4yo son to the dollar store to pick out presents for his teachers and family members. It’s always so much fun to see what my niece is going to give everybody and I couldn’t wait to start this tradition with my son. It’s such a fun and inexpensive way to share a child’s love and personality at Christmas. I just hope the recipients accept their gifts with the same enthusiasm for which they are given. I gave my son free rein, with very little guidance, so it comes to no surprise to me that he mostly picked child-appropriate toys and books. But to keep things interesting he also selected a few cleaning supplies. The best gift of all was the bag of stones he chose for his teacher.

“Oh, The Places You’ll Go” End of School-Year Tradition

It’s not too much longer till the school year comes to a close, so I wanted to share this amazing idea I found on…you guessed it…Pinterest. You all know the book Oh, The Places You’ll Go from Dr. Seuss. It’s a great graduation gift. But, Lisa from Lisa’s Workshop suggests grabbing a copy when your kid is young. At the end of each school year, give it to your child’s teacher to sign or write a note. When you’re child graduates (hard to think of!), you’ll have a lovely gift to give him/her. Lisa has even included some lovely tags in her blog post, so make sure to go check it out.

For more clever ideas like this, make sure to follow me on Pinterest.
