With the end of the school year approaching, it's time to start thinking about what you can do for your child's teacher, room mom, and care provider. This is a cute little idea for someone who you think has been "SWEET" all year and deserves a personalized gift.
What You'll Need: (for each individual bag)
medium cellophane gift bag (can also use a gallon freezer zipper bag)
curly gift ribbon
scissors
computer & color printer (if you are printing out the suggested card)
Good & Plenty (4oz. pkg.)
Skittles (4oz. pkg.)
Riesen (5.5oz. pkg)
Lifesavers (1.14oz. roll)
Snickers (1.86oz. bar)
Take5 (1.5oz. bar)
Whatchamacallit (1.6oz. bar)
Extra (16 piece pkg.)
*The candy sizes are what I used in the picture. Feel free to vary that depending on what you can get in the stores. The most difficult to find for me were the Take5 and Whatchamacallit (wound up getting them both at the pharmacy). The cost of the candy was about $10.*
I placed the candy into the bag with all the names going in the same direction and from smallest to biggest. While working with it, I tried to get as many names visible as possible and then tied the bag off with the curling ribbon. Once the bag was closed I attached the card to the ribbon and added a few extra before curling with the scissors.
Here is a picture of the card that gives you the wording I used:
Everyone who received this from us went on and on about how much they loved it, I'm sure you will hear the same! :)
