In The Studio: Back-To-School Gift Ideas with Chalkboard China
As the dog days of summer are coming to a close (although it doesn’t feel like it in Dallas, Texas with these triple digit days), this can only mean one thing. It’s time to get your family geared up for a new school year! This year, you can make Back-To-School preparations fun and thoughtful with Chalkboard China!
Here’s how you can get an A+ in gift giving this year:
1. First Day of School Gift
The first day of school is not necessarily fun for the little ones. But with Chalkboard China, you can give them a First Day of School surprise to put a little pep in their step. The night before, gather up a few of your child’s favorite pens, pencils, markers, etc. Next, fill up a Chalkboard China Rectangle Vase or Chalkboard China Daisy Vase with all of their favorite drawing and writing utensils. Then, at breakfast, put the vases in the middle of the table with names chalked on along with sweet, encouraging messages like “Good luck!” or “Have a GREAT first day!” This will get them pumped about the first day back!
2. Gifts for Teachers
Every year, Parent/Teacher Night happens within the first or second week of school. This is the chance for parents to meet the bright mind that will be teaching their children throughout the year. For a fun way for parents to welcome their child’s new teacher, why not come together and prepare a “goody basket” arrangement in a Chalkboard China Medium Vase or Chalkboard China Large Vase? Pop in things like extra chalk (for both our product and the blackboard, of course), highlighters, grading pens, etc. This will also make a great time to get to know the other parents in the classroom!
Tip: You can use tissue paper or newspaper to stuff at the bottom of a Chalkboard China Vase so things will stick out further from the vase, creating the look of a bouquet.
3. Gift for Mom (Why not?!)
We know moms do a lot…especially as the school year rolls around. Moms make lunches every day, take everyone Back-To-School shopping, buy school supplies, drive to after school activities and do so without even breaking a sweat. (Basically, moms are superheroes in our eyes!) For a joint gift from Dad and the kiddos, show Mom how much you care this school year with a Chalkboard China Cylinder Vase and an arrangement of her favorite blooms. Chalk on a touching message like “Thanks for everything you do!” and “You’re an A+ Mom!” She’ll definitely feel the appreciation from all of her hard work to get everyone ready for school.
Chalkboard China is a perfect way to celebrate a new school year as well as show your loved ones you care! How do you prepare for Back-To-School? Is Back-To-School an exciting time in your home?
