Creative and Affordable Easter Thank You Gifts for Teachers and TAs

[jessicaleigh]

Here’s our idea for a little inexpensive teacher/TA thank you when we break up for Easter (we have lots of people we want to thank!)
We got a some big bottles of orange bath salts (£15, although you can make your own with Epsom salts quite a bit cheaper) and a pack of pipe cleaners for £2. Weighed 75g of salts into a sweetie cone (we already had these) and twisted the pipe cleaners round the top, then round a pencil as shown to make curly carrot top leaves. We made 13 of these at under £2 each. You could do the same thing with sweets or even stationery things like paper clips and rubber bands if that suited better.

What a great idea

 

[iphonetrabaohanh]

I thought it was sweets
I would have ate that

 

[jessicaleigh]

@iphonetrabaohanh it should have been sweets really but a couple of their teachers don’t eat them!

 

[iphonetrabaohanh]

@jessicaleigh I wasn’t knocking the idea.
I think it’s great
But maybe label them (for stupid, hungry ladies like me)

@iphonetrabaohanh hopefully the smell would put you off

 

[iphonetrabaohanh]

@fightingpain depends how hungry I was

Love this idea! Where did you get the orange bath salts from? x

 

[belga]

And how would you do it with Epsom salts? Did you mean on their own or make them orange flavoured!?

 

[jessicaleigh]

@belga to make bath salts with Epsom salts you just bung in a little bit of colouring/essential oil/ mix with dried flower petals. We’ve done it before, but I went with these for quickness. Local shop, but I’m sure Amazon or similar would provide!

These are brilliant, great idea! I would def put a small tag saying bath salts though. Even with the smell that would probably have been poured straight in my mouth
