Teacher Gift Guide - Handmade & Thoughtful Gifts Ideas
The last day of school is around the corner, and it’s time to find thoughtful present for an educator who’s gone above and beyond will put a smile on their face.
Of course, first we would think of chocolate box or maybe a gift card. As much “universal” these might seem, for me they sound like “last minute” kind of gifts, or “who doesn’t like chocolate?”
But this year, why not think outside the box with your choices? It’s fun to get creative with gift giving by presenting her with something that’s a little bit more personalized to teacher tastes—that way, she’ll/he’ll know how much you appreciate her or his hard work, patience, and commitment to the job.

DIY Without the Sweat, Glitter or Curse Words: St Patty’s & Easter Rustic Decor
One element of rustic interior design to love is when items look as if you created them with your own two hands. It takes us back to a time when one could sit at home finding creative ways to utilize the tools and materials around the house to liven up the surroundings.
This nostalgia, or perusing Pinterest, may convince some out there between work, family, and/or school obligations (not to mention an unhealthy Netflix habit), you might be able to fit a random craft or two in there. Why not?

Fall in love with these perfect fall-themed decorations!
I love fall: the crisp air in the mornings, pulling out my favorite pair of leather boots from the closet, long walks and jumping in piles of crunchy, colorful leaves. There’s nothing I enjoy more than wrapping my hands around a warm mug of tea as I read a book in my living room and watch the evening sunset arrive earlier and earlier each day.

Being the host for Thanksgiving dinner is no small undertaking – it takes a lot of thought, preparation, and sometimes a good chunk of money. If you're not immediate family, it's nice to bring a small gift that either helps the host with the dinner, or is something special for him or her.

Welcome to Jarful House
Hello, my name is Jo Torija,
I am a wife to a wonderful husband Carlos and mom to two little Westies - Nelson & Stevie.I am passionately frugal, and that is where my love of vintage and rustic decorating began. Over the past years I have learned that there are plenty of ways to create a home of style and class without breaking the bank, and that filling your home with unique treasures is much more satisfying than decorating from a catalog.
