Maybe it’s the color of these berry baskets that made us fall in love with them. Or their cute little shape. Either one, we knew we had to come up with something fun to use them for.
With Teacher Appreciation coming up and then Mother’s Day right after,
we’ve got a gift that’s sure to please.
Supplies:
• berry baskets (we used the pint size)
• some strawberry scented soaps, lotions or car scents from Bath & Body Works
• shredded crinkle paper
• skewer
• tag download found HERE
• white cardstock for backing your tag
• white cardstock for backing your tag
(the free download comes with tags to use for your child’s teacher, your mom, grandma and friends!!)

Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in CBH Digital Scrapbooking Freebies, under the Page 4 post on Apr. 17, 2012. Thanks again.
Is there any way to make your adorable tags so "sister". I think these would make awesome mothers day gifts for my sister and mom.
Great Tags ! Thank you so much.
These are darling! So simple and cute; what women doesn't love Bath and Body Works stuff?
Is there any way to add "Aunt" or a blank template?
Thanks for sharing your cute ideas!
Thank you for this great printable!
Is it possible to make a tag that says "secretary"? Thanks!
So cute! Love the idea! I second the request for a "sister" one. I always give my sisters a little Mother's Day gift as well. Thanks ladies!
Went and bought this stuff at Bath and Body Works yesterday. I added a small votive in the Strawberry scent to throw in the basket for $3.50 more. All that is pictured plus the candle came to $18 and change. Thanks for the great idea!
I would love a printable for an "aunt" one!
Love this idea!! 🙂
Thank you for sharing this with us. Its darling. I'm wondering about enlarging that tag and printing poster size at Costco to use on a door for teacher appreciation week. Would that work?
Anyone know where you can buy pint size berry baskets? I bought everything else but I need to make these tonight and I am not sure where I can buy them or who would sell them. Thanks!!
People where selling on Etsy for $6.00/12, you can buy in bulk. 250 for $45.00 also just search Berry Basket online. Wish I knew where locally to get them instead of waiting to ship.
these are adorable! I was thinking of doing the tag with chocolate covered strawberries??
Is it possible to get a whole sheet of "teacher"?
Thanks so much!
i wanted to say a HUGE thank you– printed these out and put them on berries we picked at a u-pick farm down the street for my son's two preschool teachers. they were a HUGE hit– and SO cute and easy.
thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
xoxo.
Thank you for posting this! My teachers' gifts turned out great thanks to you! Any chance you could update this printable for mother's day with Aunt and Nana?
I would also love a printable for an "aunt" one! Is that possible?
Thank you for sharing your printable! Such a great idea!
so love this…any chance you could add better : principal, librarian, office manager? it's super cute…thank you 🙂
Hi where did you buy the skewers? Super cute!!

I absolutely love this. I was hoping maybe you could do one printable with a BLANK and we could add who it's for. Principal, nana, director and etc. This way we could customize it for anyone. 🙂
They have ceramic berry baskets at Anthropologie in lots of cute colors (white, yellow, blue, green, coral/red) for $15. I am going to use one of those as an extra something special in this gift set. LOVE this idea. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
These are an amazing gift! I hope you will link up to my Teacher Appreciation Linky Party!

Is there a blank template out there? Wanted to do one for some of our bus drivers :)!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful idea! I made them for my kids teachers for Teacher Appreciation Day and they loved them.
Great idea! Thank you!!
This is a great idea! Thank you for posting this. It is my kids teacher appreciation week next week and I will definitely use this idea. We were going to just buy gift baskets, but they can be expensive and I can't find any gift basket coupons so this is perfect thing. What are different berry products that I could put in the basket? Thank you for your help.
Really adorable. My son is asking me to buy a Christmas present for his teacher and I'm thinking these would help nicely.
Thank you for sharing. repined on pinterest! Using for teacher bday
Love love this idea — and thanks for the printable tags!!
This giveaway is more exciting than the 1st day of school. Thanks for my chance.
Just downloaded the list. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Wanted to let you know that we're posting a link to this post on our facebook wall. We provide fresh strawberries locally and think this makes an awesome gift for teachers! Sending them over from "Lee's Produce".
I'm a teacher and would love to give these to my parent volunteers and classroom aide. Any chance you'll be adding "parent volunteer" or "teacher's aide" to a new edition?
I linked a photo of your posts {plus link} in my Teacher Gift Round-Up post today. I've already used this gift for mother's day for my mom. LOVE the idea and printables. Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
