Gifts Under Ten
Dollars
If you've got two or
more children in school, it can become expensive at Christmas or
at the end of the school year when it is traditional to give teachers a well-earned
thank-you. You don't have to impress anyone by buying out the
florist's shop. The idea is to put together a thoughtful gift that
conveys your gratefulness for putting up with little Johnny's
antics all year and it doesn't have to cost a lot.
 For
the tea lover, this gift box is packed with a glazed ceramic mug,
a package of 50 tea bags and some cherry chocolates. You can
substitute a small package of cookies for the chocolate, if you
prefer.
Total cost - $4.00
The cook on your gift
list might appreciate a new set of kitchen tools. Simply line the
metal utensil holder with a tea towel and fill with your choice of
kitchen tools. The wooden items were a dollar for two
pieces. Also included is a silicone spatula, a soup ladle, slotted
spoon, regular spoon and an egg turner. The matching pieces all
have comfortable rubber handles with an attractive metal insert.
This gift, as shown costs $9.00, including the gift bag.
Gift a gardener with this fun item. The
colored metal pail is filled with a metal trowel, garden shears, a
metal garden spike, three packages of seeds for a dollar and a
pair of gardening gloves. The total cost of this gift is only
$6.00 and you can interchange or add to these items with a variety
of small touches like a package of garden ties, a colorful
kneeling pad or a small garden statue.
Even if you can't get
your head around giving gifts from the dollar store, use these
ideas as a guide when shopping for practical, substantial looking
and budget-minded ideas for teachers, coaches, aunts and uncles or
anyone else that you want to remember with "a little
something."
