Basically we have two things going on here: personalized mugs and personalized jars.
The personalized mugs are all over the internet these days, so...no big surprise there.
If you want to make them, just draw with an OIL paint Sharpie, such as these beautiful markers...

Sharpie Oil-Based Medium Point Paint Markers, 5 Fashion Colored Markers (1770459)
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for a half hour and...it's supposed to stay on through the dishwasher and everything. Who knows if it really does or not, but it looks pretty though, don't you think? We're going to put gift cards inside.
Our next teacher gift which I will hopefully not ruin the surprise by posting here are gift jars:
We filled it with white tulle and this DELICIOUS chocolate (another affiliate link). Not only is it incredibly yummy, but it's 70% dark. That means it's ALMOST DIET FOOD!!!! Or at least it qualifies for the South Beach Diet. Maybe Atkins too, who knows?
It's good stuff at any rate:
Theo Chocolate Organic 70% Dark Chocolate Sea Salt -- 3 oz
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! A link to the free printable. Obviously, I left off the name of my own kid, so it could have your kid's(s') name!
Chanukah picture books also make a great gift! Click here for a big list of over 25 Hanukkah picture books!
Have a happy whatever-winter-holiday-you-celebrate folks!
These are cute gifts and I like the idea of putting a gift card holder in them :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy!
ReplyDeleteFound you on Treasure Box Tuesday. The ideas are adorable, and I haven't seen the mug idea all of the net. What a cute and easy gift! Thanks for sharing the book ideas too I'll be passing the on to my daughter in law
ReplyDeleteHappy Hanukka!
ReplyDeleteI use colored sharpies to stencil designs on my Ford Truck.....they truly are the wonder pen of our age. So many uses.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judee and Mark!
ReplyDeleteRight Bruce? Love Sharpies! :-)
I LOVE the "Thanks A Latke" Gift! Too Cute!
ReplyDeleteI must go out right now and get me some almost diet food! (and I love that printable. I've worked as a Nanny for lots of Jewish Families - where were you then?)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mandee!
ReplyDeleteFunny Dana! I'm considering an all chocolate diet. :-) Well...maybe chocolate and alcohol. :-) :-) :-)
omg, the Thanks a Latke gift is AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had people to give it to, it's that cute!!!!
And I love the mug idea. You've got some creative juices flowing this Chanukah (my favorite and standard way of spelling!) season!!
Thank you Andrea!!!! I was kind of proud of drawing that latke (in Photoshop), because the Chief of Destruction actually recognized it! I could tell because she pointed out "Dere's a latke!" :-)
