Simple Teacher Gift

This week is teacher appreciation week.  Parents at my oldest son's preschool have organized something for each day.  Today we brought in food for the teachers.  I made homemade tortilla chips and guacamole.  Tomorrow, everyone is supposed to bring in a small gift that the teachers will enjoy over summer vacation.  I completely forgot to pick something up today and started trying to think how we could manage to stop in the morning and still get to school on time.  Then I realized that I could probably come up with something suitable that we already had.  I found some coffee samples (we don't drink coffee) and individually wrapped specialty tea bags.  I decided this could work.  What says relaxing summer vacation more than coffee and tea?  Maybe alcohol - but we won't go there.  

Now that I had gifts for my son's three amazing teachers, I had to make them look pretty.  I rummaged through my sewing tub and found some scrap fabric and ribbon.  

I trimmed the edges of the fabric with pinking shears, then tied the fabric up around each gift to create these simple little bundles.  I think this is the perfect teacher gift and it is frugal because I did not have to buy anything.
