Cherry-Picked: Gifts for Neighbor, Hostess, Teacher

December 11, 2019 By Chelsea Lipford Wolf 2 Comments

Quick Gifts for a Hostess, Neighbor, or Teacher

Teacher Hostess Neighbor Gift Ideas Under $10!

Handheld Frother

I shared my love for this $12 frother* in my Insta stories (click here to watch that highlight). But I thought I’d also share it here as a quick and easy gift idea! Pair it with a small bag of Christmas coffee and voila!

I use mine to froth my coffee creamer before adding hot coffee to get that latte feel at home!

Homemade Bread

I use this recipe from Brooke at Nesting with Grace to make bread without a machine or kneading! It takes a little planning since you have to let the bread rise for 8-24 hours. (Mix one night and bake the next!) But once it’s done…oh my goodness is it delicious! I keep these inexpensive hand towels from IKEA* in our ‘gift closet’ so I can wrap up a loaf of bread and bring to a neighbor or a family with a new baby!

I also used the same hand towels to make handprint wreaths to gift to grandparents last year! And of course, I made one for myself too! (I used fabric paint like this one*! Once it dries it’s safe to wash in the washing machine!)

Crystal Rainbow Makers

These crystals are a fun mood-lifter* for anyone of any age! They come with fishing line to hang them up. You can hang them from a small cup hook above your window or just on the window lock itself to cast fun, happy rainbows year-round!

They even come in their own little gift box, so wrapping is easy too!🙌🏻

I would love if you tagged me on social media or commented here and let me know if you use these ideas! I love giving gifts, but sometimes you just need a little help coming up with ideas. So I hope this helps make your Christmas season a little easier and more joy-full!

Thanks for Checking In! ~Chelsea

Didn’t mean for this to be #ASMR but here we are Didn’t mean for this to be #ASMR but here we are!🤷🏼‍♀️ I bought this orchid 15 months ago to use the flowers in our hair for my sister’s wedding. I’ve already repotted it once and it’s bloomed 3-4 times! Time to do it again with a pretty new pot that matches our new kitchen cabinets!🤩
.
.
Steps to repot an orchid:
1-large pot without drainage holes
2-plastic pot slightly smaller with holes
3-trim if needed so plastic pot is at or below outside pot
4-add layer of orchid specific potting mix (it looks like bark!)
5-add orchid, fill in around roots with more bark- don’t forget to add some mix under the leaves!
6-to water, soak bark and fill up outside pot, rinse the leaves too!
7-let sit for 5-10 minutes, then drain and dry the outside of your pot.
8-set in place and enjoy!🌷
New laundry, who dis? Our laundry room was a BLANK New laundry, who dis? Our laundry room was a BLANK slate after the kitchen renovation left it reconfigured too. So Dad and I tackled simple projects that make this space functional and of course visually pleasing too!👏🏻The full project airs this weekend on @todayshomeowner!

I love that the cabinets and hardware match what we have in the kitchen since the spaces are right next to each other! Synergy!
