The end of summer is always so bittersweet. We have loved every moment with the kids and the vacations we’ve been able to take. But there is a different level of excitement for both me and the crew leading up to the first day of school.

We love our school district and have been so blessed by our teachers. We like to start the year off by bringing in a small item for my kids to wish their teacher off to a great school year. We do handmade gifts like cards or baked goods but recently, I’ve come across some sweet small shops to purchase some unique gifts. I’ve put together a list of small shops I use as my go to gifts!

If you are a teacher, I hope you have a great year!
