Sticking Out with Sticky Notes

Have you ever heard about taking an apple for the teacher on the first day of school? And I don’t mean a computer here! Apparently, apples are considered the traditional present for teachers in the United States, Denmark and Sweden. Some say the practice began as a form of payment for lessons, and others believe they were given because of the good health associated with apples. Whatever the reason, it’s a short-lived gift!
This year, why not take your teacher a different gift, maybe something practical that will last all year long? We have an idea – sticky notes! Who can’t use sticky notes – especially teachers? They are great for reminders, to-do lists, hall passes and more. While I don’t have kids in school myself, I sure do know a lot of teachers. I made the sticky notes pictured in this post for my friend Katie, who teaches 5th grade. Katie is getting married next month and I thought she might appreciate something with her new last name, so I came up with these daintily designed sticky notes that say “From the desk of Mrs. Moore.” I think they turned out so well! I hope she likes them as much as I do.

What a great idea about the doing the personalized notepads for teachers. The holiday's are just around the corner and that's a great price point especially if you have lots of teachers to buy for this year.
I'm taking your idea and doing it for teacher holiday gifts. - Thanks for sharing.
