You’ve probably seen elaborate teacher gifts all over the web or in your classroom?
Well, I saw a note when I picked up my little one that the child center was having their “back to school” open house and figured I needed to not show up empty handed! However, I seriously had a grand sum of five minutes to put something together while Dad distracted the baby, and I had zero time to shop.
Fortunately, I try to stay stocked up on small things that can build a variety of spectacular-looking or sounding things in a snap.
So… What did I make?
5-minute hand scrub: Coconut oil, raw sugar and lavender oil… That’s it. I used roughly equal parts sugar and coconut oil until I liked the consistency. I evenly portioned the scrub into 4-ounce canning jars, printed a quick label, tied it on… and voila.
As it turns out, one of my son’s guest teachers is British and loved the lavender. Who knew? 🙂
My thoughts… These ladies wash their hands a million times a day and might appreciate a luxurious and moisturizing scrub to pamper themselves with. Bonus: I had enough to keep some on my own sink counter!
