I didn't forget the teachers in my wave of Valentine's craftiness last week. My sister and I worked much of the day last Friday to create V-Day treats for her co-workers (doctors' office) and Abigail and Cooper's teachers. Again, I mostly copied this idea from another blog.
We started off with these hand sanitizers. We found them in cheap bundles at Target and also resorted to picking some up at the Dollar Tree. Either way, they were each just $1. However, some labels were more stubborn than others. Kelly Ann was a rock star when it came to removing all the labels and any leftover adhesive.
Michael's Arts & Crafts was the source of our decorating accessories. This fun ribbon was perfect to add to the Martha Stewart stickers and tags we used.
We added the stickers and this cute tag.
I also dressed up a few bottles of lotion to give as sets to teachers.
The bottles turned out so cute that we ended up making some for my mother's clients and a few of my mother-in-laws co-workers. In the end, we were a Valentine's sanitizer factory. Nothing say love like germ fightin' gel!

Those are so cute!!! I wish you would have posted this last week! HAHA We just decorated cookies. I actually have a plan that at the end of the year I'm going to get them each one big nice gift card somewhere. Valentine's completly snuck up on us this year.
Looks like you had a lot of fun.
As a teacher I LOVE this gift idea! I'm totally going to steal your idea for Maddie's teachers:) Sounds like you had fun making them!
This is such a clever idea and I totally would have copied you had I known sooner. Ya'll did a great job with these!
What a great idea! I'm with the others...I think that I am going to steal your idea!
For those of you wanting to steal the idea, try the rub-on designs. They look much better than just the craft stickers. But, I ended up making 44 of these in one day last week, and the stickers made much more sense than the more time-consuming rub-ons.
The scrolly rub-ons in black and gold turn a practical gift into something cute on a teacher's desk.
