I know it’s still summer and I’m in no big hurry for it to end, but I was out birthday shopping for a very special little girl today and came across these little gems. They are at Target in the dollar section right now and cost $3 each.  As you probably know, goodies in the dollar section at Target aren’t there for very long, so even though I plan on posting a “Back to School” post later and will probably write about ideas for teacher gifts at some point, I wanted to get this mini post out there so everyone could grab these up while they’re still available.

I plan on using chalk markers to write my kids’ teachers’ names on them and then will fill them up with some kind of goodies or gift cards. Once they are empty they will make great pen/pencil holders for their desk. Whether you think it might be a good idea to butter their teacher up on the first day of school, want to save them for Christmas gifts, Teacher Appreciation Day, or end of the school year these are a fun, easy, and inexpensive idea!
