Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea: Mini Succulent Planters

Filed Under: Craft Tutorials, Gift Ideas, Teacher Gifts

Brighten your teacher’s day with this darling Teacher Appreciation gift! Succulents are very easy to care for and add a pop of color to any desk or window sill. Tuck one inside a mini planter for a quick and easy gift! I shamelessly asked my friends at MyFairyGardens.com if they would send us these darling planters in exchange for sharing their cuteness with you. They agreed!

Years ago I would attempt to DIY every teacher appreciation gift that my kids presented to their teachers. Not anymore. With four children in school I’ve had to prioritize my time and energy while still making every effort to show my thanks. At Christmas we send in gift cards and hand made Christmas cards from the kids. In May when Teacher Appreciation day comes upon us we like sending in a small gift or food item (again, with a homemade ‘Thank You’ card).

If you’ve been on here for more than a minute you know how much my girls and I love fairy gardens. We are on a first name basis with our friends at MyFairyGardens.com, ha! I follow them on Facebook and saw these darling England planters that they recently started carrying in their shop. Each is named after a street in England.

They are only 3 or 4 inches in width and height, just right for a $3 mini succulent from the nursery (I found mine at Walmart in the garden section).

They’d also be perfect for holding pencils or other office supplies.

The girls each chose a planter based on their teacher’s favorite colors.

Ruby was concerned that her teacher might be allergic to her succulent because she has allergies to most plants. I assured her that this little succulent would not put off pollen inside the classroom.

We ended up ordering 5 of these darling planters and will be sending them out as Mother’s Day gifts to our grandmas as well.

I’m wishing that I had ordered one for myself. I have them all lined up on my kitchen window sill and am really going to miss them when they are gone!

This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anyti This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anytime my camera and tripod go up, he’s right there waiting. Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother for Christmas. We love this little set of round knitting looms. A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat. Linked in stories. ❤️

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!

Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas cookies this year and I’m wondering why we didn’t use them before! So cute ($1 at Target). My 9 year old decorated most of the cookies that you see in this photo. I taught her how to use a piping bag, a star tip, and a round tip last year and she hit the ground running. Check out our stories for 6 cookie tutorials for kids using the same frosting tips!
