I love it! Those are the cutest bags and I am sure the teachers loved them. I am the class mom for my son's preschool and I had to do the gathering of money from the class and it almost kills me to go out and just get them a gift card (funny enough from Target) and I threw in some candles from my stockpile with fun summer scents so that I wouldn't have to pay as much out of pocket but we have 6 teachers to do it for and I have such a problem making equal gifts and using my stockpile. I can't wait for next year when I hope it won't be all the parents working together and I can do my own thing! These look awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree making the gifts equal can be problematic. But it sounds like you did a great job! :-)
DeleteI feel you pain. Three years ago I went in on a group Mom gift to the teachers...it was the WORST! I swore I would never do that again.
In this case the Mom group wanted to give each teacher (there were 6 teachers) a Starbucks gift card. I happened to have (6) $10 gift cards due to an earlier Groupon deal to start the ball rolling. We all signed cards and a SB gift card was placed in each envelope for the teacher.
I was kinda excited and inquired as to how much we raised for the teachers and how much did each teacher get. I could never get a straight answer from the other Mom's (who by the way make way tons more money than I do). Finally 3 weeks after the fact I learned from one of the teachers that 12 Moms had given each of the 6 teachers a $15 Starbucks Gift card ....and $10 of it was mine!!! That was it for me on group gifts to teachers.
