Swim Teacher Awesomeness
During the summer months my kids always have swimming lessons. Ok, maybe not ALWAYS, there was that summer that I forgot to sign them up. But let's not dwell on that one! I made up for it this year with FOUR straight weeks of daily swimming. It was amazing. My daughter started out unafraid, but definitely NOT a swimmer. Now she's practicing an unassisted freestyle stroke with side breaths and everything! My timid son is now boldly jumping off the diving board….in the DEEP end. For THAT, dear swim teachers, you get a whole-hearted thank you!

Thank you gift idea
The idea began with the phrase “Thanks to you, I'm swimming like a fish,” that came to me in the shower one morning. {Why do all great ideas come at such random times!?} What could be more classic {or cliche?} than Swedish fish and Goldfish crackers? Pretty much nothing! And since they are both students, I knew snacks would be well received!
Gift bag makeover
Now to make it cute….I started with a plain white gift bag, because these things are amazingly versatile. Since I'm a huge color nerd, I found 3 {almost} coordinating tissue paper blues in my tissue paper hoard drawer to create the look of water cascading out of the bag.
Finishing touches
Added a cute tag I matted in light blue and double-stick taped to the front. And the finishing touch? A little fish hang tag my kiddos could sign, cut by my Cricut Explore Air. Could that have been any easier!? Absolutely not!
This classic swim teacher appreciation gift is simple for you and easy on the wallet! Do you give swim teacher thank you gifts? Some say we are getting a little gift crazy these days. But I'm all about making memories from the everyday moments. Our lives are the sum of these every day actions. What do you want to be left with?
