Can you believe summer is right around the corner? I feel like the end of the year always flies by and Teacher Appreciation week sneaks up on me! This year was one of the only years I was actually prepared, and I absolutely love how this gift turned out!

I came up with this idea several weeks ago while listening to my 8-year-old tell that orange/banana knock-knock joke- you know the one, right? (Please don’t make me repeat it- we will be here all day!)

With this idea in mind, I went to the store in search of anything orange that my kid’s teachers would enjoy. There are so many orange items in the store right now. I ended up buying sunscreen, a beach towel, and a cute orange plant pot and put together a sweet summer gift basket with a cute printable tag that looks so cute!

You don’t even have to go all out with a large gift basket. Here are some simpler ideas –

  • Orange tumbler filled with orange candies & an Amazon gift card
  • Magazine with an orange candle and nail polish
  • Orange bowl filled with mandarins or orange treats

I love how versatile the contents of this gift can be. Keep it simple or go all out! I think this summer gift is perfect for teachers, but your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors would definitely love it too! Here is how to make it –
