Pamper Your Feet Package: Beautiful, healthy feet are always in style. Grab a cute gift bag and fill it with inexpensive lotions and scrubs from Wal-mart, Target, CVS, or Walgreens. Add a toenail kit and some polish and you’re sure to put a smile on your face!
Stationary Pack: We found blank cards and envelopes in the dollar section at Michael’s! Colored pens, notepads, and pretty paper are fun and practical! You can write thank you notes and invitations, jot down homework reminders, or write friendly notes to pass between classes.
Baking Cookies and Brownies – If you like to make your own treats, the ready-to-make treats are thoughtful and delicious. From your favorite recipe, simply layer the dry ingredients in a clean jar. On a pretty card, attach instructions for making and baking the treats. We found a great recipe for Paula Dean’s “5 Layer Bars” on the Food Network site.
Gift Cards: Giving a gift card is like giving money with a purpose. Almost every store has them now, so pick one up at your local grocery store the next time you’re out. Tailor it to the recipient by choosing a place where you know the card will be used. Some great options for teens: AMC Movies, iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, and Chili’s.
