“School’s out for summer” – almost, believe it or not! Wondering how to tell your schoolhouse staff they rock? Here are seven thoughtful, no-fuss gift packs that teachers are sure to appreciate, hot off the press of the latest issue of Disney FamilyFun magazine.

Stamps of Approval: These sweet stamps let teachers say “great job” with ease, and they come together fast from cork and adhesive-backed craft foam.

Happy Travels Car Sachet: Stuffed with a sweet scent, this little luxury makes a great gift for a teacher who may be hitting the road this summer.

Favorite Reads Photo Bookmark: thank the teacher for making reading fun with a bookmark that lists your child’s new
favorite titles.

From the Whole Class – Sow Giving Tree or Give a Crate (or a barrel!) of bulbs: Surround a potted plant with a grouping of card stock envelopes shaped like flowers, or pack up a gardening kid for an all-natural way to say thanks for helping kids thrive.

Mother’s Day is coming up in a couple of weeks and some of you may be looking for stylish, yet inexpensive jewelry for your moms or for hints to drop to your own family (wink, wink).

We were sent a gift set from Cinderella’s Jewelry called, Pearls and Glitter, that is very nice and priced just right; only $18.00. It is a necklace and pierced earring set. This set is sold out but she has other styles available. You may also contact her for information on custom orders.

Pearls and Glitter (I used most of her description with my opinion sprinkled in since she describes it to a “t”)

This elegant pendant is a splash of light purples/ pinks, light sprinkled glitter throughout, with is a cluster of diamond- like gems in the center as the “pollen”, strung on a 16 inch strand of natural fresh water pearls and a few silver rhinestone spacers. The clasp is different from what we’ve seen before, but I find it much easier to clasp and unclasp than the usual clasps on necklaces. The earrings are made with posts and are very comfortable to wear.

Featuring favorite lip balms housed in a reusable lip tin, the Bee Keeper gifts let you stock up on your must-have balms in a fun, festive way. Choose from the “Classic” tin (packed with four original beeswax balms) and the “Mixed” tin (two originals and two other favorite flavors) ($9.99 at BurtsBees.com). They also have alot of other inexpensive gift sets as well.

Our family uses Burt’s Bees and it is a very effective lip balm for chapped lips. Our children tend to find that the peppermint stings as it does its healing wonder though. Just so you moms are aware. This is a great idea for older children or even a family gift for friends and neighbors. It won’t break your wallet either.

Looking for beautiful, classic, and affordable gifts for the kids on your summertime birthday list? Mudpuppy delivers with puzzles, sticker sets, games, and accessories you’ll be proud to give!

Every new mother knows, baby is bound to need a change of clothes most desperately just when it’s least convenient–at the mall, in a restaurant, or on your way to introduce the little darling to friends or family you rarely see. Often, parents are reduced to packing half the baby’s closet into the diaper bag in an effort to stave off disaster, eventually resulting in a jumble of mismatched clothing that takes up too much space and weighs you down.

Enter Sparewear! Neatly packed into sleek, travel-friendly pouches, each complete outfit is the perfect “pack and forget” addition to your diaper bag or your child’s daycare/preschool cubby. Many sets feature both a long- and short-sleeved top, and all include comfy, coordinating pants and a travel case designed to hold the dirty duds until you make it home. Each set is sized to cover you for a full six months (or longer for toddlers up to 4T), so you’re sure to get your money’s worth, too!

To start shopping, visit Spareware’s online storefront, where you can find their full range of products, specials, and free everyday shipping.

LaPlates has child-safe plates that are colorful, hip and personalized to your taste. Choose from a variety of colors and designs to match your kitchen or just for a special occasion.

I got a personalized Gingham Plate plate from LaPlates to match my kitchen, with my daughter’s name on it in orange. She uses it all the time. I love it because it really goes with the feel of my Chef-inspired, cafe style kitchen. Plus, it’s pretty much indestructible. I’ve been using it for months and it hasn’t chipped, broken, scratched, or anything.

I think LaPlates personalized plates would make a great Mother’s Day Gift or a really cool Birthday gift. They’re great for any occasion because you can personalize them.

drugstore.com has unveiled a brand-new fashionable collaboration with in demand designer Jenni Kayne. Get the Jenni Kayne designer bag FREE filled with samples of products for baby & mom when you spend $75 at drugstore.com. While supplies last.

Beauty.com has garnered quite a following for its fabulous collaborations with top fashion designers, and now for the first time, sister site drugstore.com is partnering with fashion designer and new mom, Jenni Kayne, who designed a chic, portable bag filled with eco-friendly products for mom and baby. The stylish Mommy Bag, available for a limited time exclusively at drugstore.com with a purchase of $75 or more, is a roomy canvas pouch that Jenni created as a compact yet practical alternative to a more traditional diaper bag.

Kayne, who welcomed her first child Tanner late last year, wanted to create something large enough to store products for a quick outing and small enough to stash tidily into a stroller or slouchy handbag. The washable, durable bag has elasticized pockets for bottles and snacks and offers a reliable way to keep baby travel basics separate and accessible. “When I was pregnant I was looking at diaper bags and thought there should be more options for busy new moms,” says Kayne. “Diaper bags can be so cumbersome and sometimes when you’re going out for a walk or need to run a quick errand with a baby, a giant bag doesn’t make anything easier.”

This functional, fashionable design by Jenni Kayne is one of many unique incentives for customers to save time and money by shopping on drugstore.com for their health, beauty and household products. Moms will receive the stylish Mommy Bag while taking advantage of the convenient bonus features on drugstore.com including automatic shipping and 5% back, helping them in managing a busy schedule and more time to enjoy with their children.

The Jenni Kayne Mommy Bag is valued at over $50 and comes filled with full and deluxe-sized samples for Mom and Baby, many from the drugstore.com Green and Natural store:
