DIY: New Nurse "Survival Kit"

The other week, I made a fabulous gift basket for my coworker's daughter. She just graduated from college, and is beginning her career as a nurse! I thought that a basket with essential items, as well as fun ones, would be a cute and unique gift!

Items I Purchased
Basket (Goodwill!)
Candy
Mason jar tumbler (Walmart has them in a bunch of different colors!)
Sticky notes
Pens
Hair ties
Energy shot
Ibuprofen
Deodorant
Hand sanitizer
Heel cushions

All of the items that I put in the basket were purchased from Walmart or the Dollar Tree. I placed tissue paper in the basket and then filled the items in. I searched Pinterest for a cute nurse tag, but I couldn't find one. So, I used a "Hospital Survival Kit" tag found {here} and simply wrote "New Nurse Survival Kit" in a text box and printed it on white cardstock. I think that the finished product looks great, and my coworker's daughter thought so too!

Warmly,
Alexandra

DIY: Easy Gift for Coworkers

On Friday I'm leaving my aftercare job to begin teaching 3rd grade.

I've spent the last three and a half years at this job and I wanted to make my coworkers something nice and special without breaking the bank. 

So after surfing through Pinterest, I made my own cute and fun printables to give out!

{so cute!}
