I’m a last minute teacher present planner. Maybe it’s partially because we homeschool and they only spend one day a week with another teacher other than me (so it tends to be an oversight), and partially because I’m just a procrastinator at these kinds of things. I’m totally always ahead of the game for Christmas presents for everyone, but these little here and there occasions pretty much slip by me. It’s almost always a last minute idea.
I had originally thought we could bake something, but who am I kidding, these days are busy and there was no time for that. Then, I thought we’d buy special pastries, but I really didn’t want to drive a half hour to pick them up, so our fave donut shop up the street was the way to go. I had the girls make a card with a play on words special message and there was that. Tada! Plus, presentation always makes the difference right?! So we wrapped them up in red gingham fabric and attached the cute message. Done, done, and done.
Dear teacher,
“Donut” you forget to have a great summer!
You can see here what we did last year. It was totally last minute too. Heck, we even used the same containers. Those little turquoise baskets have definitely come in handy.
I love the fabric! Cute packaging! Now I want a donut.
Oh, I think this is an adorable idea! I would love to receive donuts as a gift. It may have been last minute but it was cute!
Oh that is so cute! Where did you get those little containers from??

i can’t remember. it was a wholesale supplies place a few years ago. i have like 100’s sitting in my closet because it only came in bulk! hahaha
as a teacher, I have to say that any gift with a handmade card/artwork from a student is the best. oftentimes at christmas parents send a generic greeting card that was obviously signed by the adult (who you may or may not have ever met)… those go straight in the trash. cards that involve drawings by any of your students… those go up on the wall. 🙂
that is so true!!!
super super cute idea! love it!
Oh that’s so cute!!
i would be SO happy to get those donuts as gifts. YUM!!!!!
So cute it doesn’t seem last minute at all!
So sweet! As a teacher I would have been oh so happy if presented with these!
Oh I just love this idea – and the one from last year. I used last year’s idea this year for my son to give to his teacher – it was perfect! Love your inspiring blog!
