Oh my goodness, I am so impressed with the creative teacher gift ideas over at Landee See, Landee Do. They really are some of the cutest ideas EVER! You have to check out all of her amazing ideas. Most of these gifts are made with items from the Target Dollar Spot. I am having a hard time deciding which one to make!
Printable Target Gift Card Holder

I just wanted to share how I turned the wooden clips that I bought from the Target Dollar Spot into magnetic clips to hold my kids’s important papers. I bought the 3-pack of wooden arrow clips for $1 and simply glued a strong magnet on the back. I thought they turned out nice!
These magnets hold my kids job charts on an organizational wall that my husband and I built in our laundry room. It holds also holds their backpacks, but more importantly it just looks really nice!
This is part of a Spring Cleaning and Organizational Bash that I participated in with other Northwest Bloggers. If you are interested in viewing the whole process I went through to clean and organize my laundry room (which also stores all my craft supplies and is the organizational hub for our family) head over to Thrifty and Thriving to check it out! Just promise you will still like me after you see how messy my laundry room was.

I love shopping the Target holiday clearance, and some of the items I like to look for are items that would make some inexpensive party treat bags. I have put together a couple examples for you.
Here are all the items I picked up at 70% off. I do my best to find candy that doesn’t have a holiday theme to it, and these Tootsie Rolls were perfect, the only Valentine theme is on the outside bag, they are plain colored Tootsie rolls on the inside.
Here are the boys items:
I used the following items to put together the boys bags for only $ .53 each!
Here are the items for the girls party treat bags:
These are the items that went into the girl’s treat bags for a total cost of $ .57.
Here are the final party items all packaged up!

Do you have a group of people that you would like to give a Christmas gift to, but you don’t want to spend a ton of money. I put together this movie night gift with items I picked up at Target, and the final cost comes in at just under $3.00.
Here is what you will need to make some of these up:
In the Target Dollar Spot you will want to pick up some of the plastic popcorn containers, make sure you look for the 2-packs, they are a little bit smaller and since there are 2 of them, they end up costing you only $ .50 a piece.
I bought the Market Pantry 10-pack of Microwave Popcorn Singles, since the box was $2.59, it works out to $ .26 each.
Next up, get a theater style box of candy. These run $1.00 at Target.
I bought some e-gift cards from Redbox, so I could put a FREE movie night rental inside of each popcorn container. To do this, you simply send the e-gift card to yourself, and then you can print each one out individually. As a bonus, when you buy and e-gift card you will get an FREE movie rental for yourself. The cost is $6 for 5, so they end up costing $1.20 each.
When I printed out the gift card, I reduced the image to 75%, so it would fit in the popcorn container better.
I took all of the items and added them to the popcorn container. The cost of everything comes in at $2.96.
To finish it off, I wrapped it in cellophane and tied it up with a bow. Cheap, easy and thoughtful!

I mentioned that I had plans for some of the Halloween candy I purchased, and I am sharing the final project with you today. Not sure why, but the tweens seem to love ANYTHING with a moustache on it. So, going with that theme I made some of these “My Stache” containers that can be given as gifts.
I picked up a couple gift tins at the Target Dollar Spot. I love this section for little containers suited for gift giving.
I used my Silhouette Cutter
Lastly, I added some of the candy I bought at 70% off and finished it off with a bow. These were super quick and easy, and super cheap too! The finished product cost me around $1.50 to make.
Anybody else have a weakness for the cute little containers in the dollar section?

Here are a couple of options for some quick and simple teacher gifts with items you get for FREE at Target. Just pick up one of the containers from the Target Dollar Spot and you can put these together for around $1.00.
Pick up the following:
Metal Container $1.00 (Target Dollar Spot)
Hershey’s Simple Pleasures $2.99
$1/1 Target printable coupon
$2/1 coupon from 8/19 SmartSource insert
Final Price = FREE
Stuff a little tissue paper in the bottom of the metal container.
Add the Hershey’s Simple Pleasures on top of the tissue.
Wrap in cellophane and add a tag to complete your gift. I always pick up my cellophane when the Christmas or Easter clearance goes 70% off.
Here is another option for you:
Buy the following supplies:
School Container $1.00 (Target Dollar Spot)
Hershey’s Simple Pleasures $2.99
$1/1 Target printable coupon
$2/1 coupon from 8/19 SmartSource insert

Add the package of pens and the package of candy to the basket, wrap in cello, tie with a bow and add a tag. Super simple!
I love using the baskets from the Target Dollar Spot to dress up simple gifts. I really love it when I got the items inside the baskets for FREE!

You can throw a party on the cheap with items you find in the Dollar Spot Section at Target. I recently had an Americana themed party, and I bought a few items from the Target Dollar Spot that I combined with items I already had at my home. Here is how it turned out:
I spent $12 on all of these items from the dollar spot.
Here is what the table looked like all decked out with my inexpensive Americana decor.
I used the $1 package of napkins to wrap up the plastic ware and put them all in a basket.
I also bought plates and cups that were only $1.00.
These fun bowls were my favorite purchase. They worked great for holding some of the food.
This large blue bowl worked great for holding the watermelon. I think it’s great to have something like this on hand, especially if you have to take food to a potluck, since it was only $1 you don’t feel so bad if it gets left behind.
We made some cupcakes with the cupcake liner and toppers that were also found in the dollar spot at Target.
Lastly, I used the 3 metal containers as handle holders for on the table. At night the candlelight shone through the cutout holes on the metal buckets.
If you have an upcoming party, make sure you check out the dollar section at your store, it’s a great resource for inexpensive parties.
