Does your school do Secret Santa?
Every year during December my co-teachers and I exchange a week's worth of gifts. It's so much fun! We spend a week shrouded in mystery and receiving a small surprise in our boxes. Trying to guess who our Secret Santa is, enjoying our fun treats, it brings such joy to everyone on campus. So I created these simple tags for easy to find and give gifts.
Day 1: Those easy to find foam ornament making packs could be used for multiple things! Does your Secret Santa have a little (or littles) at home? They can spend a night creating Christmas memories. Or your teacher friend can have an easy classroom activity or early finisher activity.
Day 2: Tea, Coffee, Coke products, any caffeine will do! (also included one without caffeine!) I also pick up a new Tervis or other insulated drink container to add with this tag.
Day 3: Paper Plates! Holiday plates are super easy to find as well as cost efficient and your Secret Santa will love no dishes for a night!
Day 4: And who doesn't love a gift card? Find out your teacher friend's favorite store and get a gift card. The amount is up to you. I usually do about $10.
Day 5: And finally I make a batch of my favorite Chewy Cookie Bars with red and green baking chips and place in a Tupperware dish, tie some curling ribbon, and attach this tag. I place it all in a glass or ceramic 9 x 13 inch baking dish, along with a yellow cake mix and Christmas baking chips, include the recipe, and I may add a dish towel or oven mitt themed for the holidays.
In the past, I've glass etched the baking dish with the family name using my Cricut, some vinyl, and glass etching paint. SUPER EASY BTW.
That's it! All together I spend about $25 on Secret Santa Gifts. You can find a lot of stuff at the Dollar Tree (including glass baking dishes!!!) and possibly Target's Dollar Spot. Other things I've stockpiled from after holiday sales from previous years.
