We are lucky to have a large strawberry farm close by, and we visit often during Strawberry Season!  The children love to pick the berries and have a hard time finding a way to stop because they see ripe berries in every direction!  We decided to put a few baskets together for teachers as a thank you for a “BERRY GOOD YEAR“, and I wanted to share the idea with you…simple, pretty, yummy, and healthy!

The cute baskets came from Michael’s.  I also found the gingham waxed paper there on the baking aisle.

The gift tag ideas are endless!  Here are a few ideas…

You are a BERRY good teacher!

Thank you for a BERRY good year in 1st Grade!

I couldn’t have PICKED a better teacher!

I love you BERRY much!

Have a BERRY fun summer!

You get the idea!  Or, you could do as my daughter did…she wanted to make a basket by herself and write a note but she accidentally wrote “beery” instead of “berry”– which could lead to a completely different gift idea!  Ha! 

I say, stick with the berries, and I will work on spelling with my daughter this summer!

Such a nice way to say “thank you”!  Remember to pick enough to for your family, too!
