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

Closing your curtains during the day while you’re away can keep the heat of the sun from warming up your house and costing you money. Less heat coming in means less energy used to run your air conditioner!👏🏻
