It’s already almost that time! Summer break is almost here! WOOOO!! While it’s exciting and well deserved, you’ll probably miss those littles and want to send them off with a sweet little gift. I love a good pun, and try to be frugal with a simple, yet fun, gift. Below are some EOY gift ideas… and links for a coordinating downloadable ‘punny’ gift tag if you need it.
My go-to places for EOY gits are Amazon.com and Dollar Tree. I can usually find class sets on Amazon and the Dollar Tree has a good variety of summer themed items this time of year. Another good resource for EOY bulk gifts is Oriental Trading Company.

One of my favorite EOY gifts that I’ve done is buying a class set of The Night Before 1st grade and writing each child a note on the inside cover. Candy was included too… 🙂 If you’re planning to do a book, look for Scholastic teacher sales. Otherwise, it can get really expensive!
I hope you all had a great year and ENJOY summer break! You earned it!
