Orange You Glad It's Summer Gift Idea


Are you looking for another fun and easy gift idea? This one is perfect! We gave them to my kid's teachers on the last day of school but they can be for friends, daycare providers, family, you name it! And you can make them as big or small as you would like.

I found the idea on Coley's Corner where she has the free printable. (Who doesn't love free printables??!!)


Then I went to the Dollar Store and bought these cute orange bags (2 for $!) and filled them up with orange things I also found at the Dollar Store: silly string, Cheetos, Reese's Pieces and Orange Soda.  I spent a total of $15 on all 4 gifts.   I love it!


And voila!  Fun summer (or end of year teacher) gifts.

That is such a cute idea! I'm instantly thinking of "green" for St. Patty's Day and "red" for Valentines... love that everything INSIDE the orange bag is orange too!

That is a very cute idea, and YES, I'm glad it's summer! Also, I happen to really love orange anything. Even orange-scented furniture polish. lol
