Better than a Bright Red Apple

Sorry to tell you but you’ve got more presents to buy.

It’s the end of the year and teachers need to be thanked.

Don’t be the only mom at nursery school graduation without a lovingly chosen teacher’s gift in hand. (And what’s up with the three year old’s ‘graduating’ anyway?)

To help (‘cause that’s what we do), we’ve found some items that just might fit the bill better than a giftcard from that big bookstore chain.

Our first choice? A set of note cards from Haute Note, our new fave modern paperie. The designs are exquisite and the packaging is a testament to the theory that “presentation is everything”. We especially love the Dream collection—it’s all about summer.

Click here now, order ($24 for 8 cards) and wait for them to come in the mail. Your social graces have never been better (or easier)! You might even order a few extra while you are at it for hostess gifts this summer.

Want to get the kids involved in this gift-giving program? Take them to your local bead shop (in Toronto, we like The Sassy Bead Shop) and help them string up a beautiful necklace. Choose some bold colourful beads for a great summer look (keep it simple—you might have to help out with this craft) and this is one stylish hand-made-with-love gift.

Our final suggestion…teachers get some time off in the summer so think fun and entertainment with a hand-selected outdoor entertaining pack. Pick up a couple of Rotera lanterns (at $4.99 each) and some colorful napkins on your next IKEA run, wrap them all up together (add candles or some special BBQ sauce for extra impact) and you’re all set. Maybe you’ll even get invited to the party.

Don’t get caught in the playground without the goods. Buy now, thank us later.
