How many Valentine's do you need?!?!

The first time I went shopping after Christmas I saw shelves of Valentine's Day stuff.  Don't get me wrong I love Valentine's Day but when I was still recouping from all the demands of Christmas, Valentine's Day was not in the forefront of my mind.  Besides the fact, every year I stress about who I should make gifts for and where to draw the line.
I love giving gifts, I love making gifts the most, so I can get a little carried away when I see all this cute heart paper and stickers and goodies.  First there are the kid's teachers, then you have the office staff, then what about past teachers that I still love and talk to and of course the librarian, music teacher, PE staff and the school janitors!  Then there are friends, family, neighbors, the person in front of me at the grocery store!!  Like I said - carried away!  So this year I am limiting myself and trying to set a budget.  I made the cutest little gifts for the kid's teachers that I think are perfect for those people surrounded by germy little hands all day long!  The best part is they were cheap!!  I got the idea from a blog that of course now I cannot remember!

 
!I bought the bottles of hand sanitizer and peeled off the back label.  Well low and behold it left it all sticky so I just stuck the paper on it and didn't need any adhesive!  I bought one sheet of these stickers from Hobby Lobby and it covered all four bottles with some left over.  I'm going to put them in little clear baggies with ribbon when I give them on Friday.   Like I said - affordable and I think teachers cannot get enough hand sanitizer!   I'm going to try a couple more ideas so hopefully I'll get them on here before the 'day of love' is over!
