My daughter is in preschool this year and so teacher gifts are on our holiday gift giving list this year. So when Dollar General asked me if I thought I could create a holiday gift basket for $10 or less, I was all “I totally can do that!” Because A) our teachers specifically asked for classroom supplies and school supplies are a purchase that can be made fairly inexpensively and B) because I am incredibly competitive. Please see: Adventures In Rock Climbing. I was Rocky and Dollar General was my set of incredibly long stairs to conquer.
I decided to make Mason Jar Crayon Holders, which are basically the easiest thing to make ever. The steps include putting crayons in a mason jar and putting sparkly ribbon around the lid. You’re welcome for the detailed tutorial. Actually, you can watch me make it in fast-forward speed in the little video below.
Here is a little video of everything that I purchased (including some really beautiful ornaments for $1 and a mug for ONE PENNY that is pretty much the best mug ever) and how I made the gift basket:
And here is what it looked like after!
I ended up spending exactly $10 on the gift, on account of how I let my four year old choose something special to add to it and she chose a $1 tube of Hershey flavored lip balm. She has good taste, that one. No pun intended.
It’s time to get Merry! Who is on your nice list this year? Find more Dollar General Holiday Inspiration here!
