Teacher Appreciation Frugal Style!

A teacher appreciation gift doesn't have to be costly.  It's simply a small gesture to show your thanks for their hard work this year.  For those of you who remember my Thrift Store Treasures post, I found this little school bus for just .60 cents!  It was empty of course and I added these goodies...only costing $1.00 more.  The 3 clay pots I bought for a $1.00 but never used them so I added that in there and the seeds were Freebies in the Mail that I had tucked in a drawer.  I added a couple pieces of chocolate and a piece of tissue from my Christmas wrap (I buy multi-color to use all year long) and voila!  The best part is that pretty red ribbon.  That was initially on a Lindt chocolate box around Christmas which you can see HERE (I did a post on what to do with leftover Christmas candy and that happens to be in it).  I liked it so I took it off and threw it in a drawer.  It's as good as new so I added that to the clay pots.  I also printed off a free cutie Thank You for helping me BLOOM  "pick" that I stuck on one of the seeds packet.   
All together this cute little planter/seed thank you gift cost no more than $1.60!!
