This year we made easy and cute baskets for the girls' teachers with my contact info and just a little blurb about our child (this is an especially great idea if you have a child with allergies, etc.!)
I was inspired by these adorable caramel apple boxes that I found on vacation! You can check your local cake/candy supply store, I also found some online here.
In the baskets, we placed a Bath & Body Works Apple Hand Sanitizer, a little pack of these SUPER CUTE (& free!) printable cards from Posh Pixels Studio, and a Caramel Apple.I'm sure you've all made caramel apples before, so I won't insult your intelligence! I will say that I love Peters Caramel Loaf--it is SO GOOD for any candy and especially apples. After the apples are dipped in caramel and have set up on wax paper, we like to add...
CHOCOLATE AND SPRINKLES!
(in our school colors, of course!)

You can entirely dip the apple in chocolate...
or just add some fancy drizzles...
All ready to be boxed up and sent off to school!
The girls loved this easy project (and so did I!).
I'd love to hear any back-to-school traditions you have! Are you ready/excited for school?

This is a super creative idea for teachers!!! I will have to borrow it!
How nice to give the teachers a present at the beginning of the school year.
I LOVE this idea. I never thought to give a teacher gift at the beginning of the year. Thanks!
Super cute! Where do you find the caramel loaf? I made them once with the little squares and the stinky caramel slid off the apple within a couple of hours even in the fridge.
yuck!
Peters makes all kinds of great confectionery-making items--I buy the caramel loaf at our local cake/candy supply store.

(or just Google it and there are a bunch of stores that sell it).
It comes in 5-lb loaves and is FANTASTIC!!!!
Absolutely adorable! Being a teacher myself, these gifts are our absolute favorite! Love that the contact info and a little blurb is attached. Very useful! :)
Cute! I always have my girls give their teacher an apple on the first day of school because I always did growing up. Next year I'll have to use this idea!
Love your adorable baskets. As a teacher, I'd be thrilled to receive one!
Ahhhhdorable... And so is the basket!
