Make Great Thanks You Gifts for Great Teachers

A bag makes a great teacher gift.

Or a tote, or a handbag, or a messenger-bag, or a purse.... Anyway, you get the idea!

Potato Sack Ronda Handbag

It's that time of year again: end of the school-year, and all of a sudden we are all scrambling to give our children's teachers something meaningful to show our appreciation for taking good care of our children during the school-year....
Teachers are always carrying around lots of stuff to and from school. You may as well make it a bit easier for her/him with a fun bag or tote. If it is cute and personalized, so much the better!
For fourth grade teachers I always recommend an Idaho Potato Sack Bag, as they teach Idaho history. (if you don't live in Idaho that would not apply, of course...)
Have fun sewing! Crystelle Boutique {aka Crystelle Handbags} has some fun and easy to sew patterns available on the Potato Boutique Etsy shop.


Or how about a Washington Onion Bag for teachers in Washington?

And then for the perfect gift for the motivating fifth grade teacher who diligently taught our kids about recycling, how about the ultimate re-purposed bag out of a banner....?

What other ideas can you come up with?
Enjoy thanking your kids' teachers for the great things they contribute to our lives....

    I am going to continue reading back posts to see if you answer this question, but I live in New England and we dont have potato or onion bags like this. Do you know of a way I can get some??
    Thanks again for your sweet comment.
