you knew there would be a coffee day right? :) it's day 2 of *teacher tag* with geeta, lori and me! we are each sharing our teacher appreciation gifts each day this week. today my projects are *caffeinated*, just the way i like them! :) this gift card is for my oldest son's teacher, who is a guy. i am so used to my kids having female teachers, it was definitely an adjustment for me when it was time to give him a gift. for teacher appreciation, i thought we could give him a starbucks gift card. i was totally inspired by this super fun and creative gift card holder from julie. i love how she used a coffee sleeve as the holder so i decided to try it! once i sealed the bottom, covered it with paper and decorated it, i attached it to a 4 bar notecard. perfect fit! my son will write a nice message on the inside and we are good to go! :) also, starbucks has been selling insulated plastic cups that i absolutely *love*! they are dishwasher safe, they come with a hard straw, and the lid screws on and off. we bought a bunch of them and i use one everyday for my water, i just carry it around with me and refill it all day long. they are really great. you could also take them to starbucks and get your cold drink in them. i thought they would also make a fun teacher gift so i picked up a couple extras. for this teacher gift, i made the same gift card holder out of the sleeve but didn't attach it to a notecard, i just stuck it right into the cup. :) be sure to check out what geeta and lori have for you today, and i will be back tomorrow with another teacher gift! :) thanks for visiting! :)
Get OUT! We both did guy stuff! And I have an idea for one of my gifts using an empty see-thru cup! CRAZY! We think alike :) This is perfect!

I am enjoying your teacher ideas. I've been so busy with Everything Rosy that I didn't make anything for teachers this week. But, I'm going to get a start on the end-of-the-year gifts. TFS!

Absolutely forehead-smacking-great idea! Quick question - can you please elaborate on the supplies needed to do that "thank you" quote bubble? Is that a punch? Thanks so much!
