It is back to school time! Yep I said it. In our house, those are dirty words. We are currently shopping for school supplies, new clothes, shoes, and planning a back-to-school breakfast. More on that later. Part of our preparation includes coming up with a teacher gift for back to school night. Show your special teacher just how much then mean to you. Some of my favorite ideas have been “I’m Tickled Pink That You’re my teacher” and last year’s pandemic survival kit for returning to school during this crazy time. This year, we decided to do a mix of teacher supplies along with items to combat another school year during a pandemic. Plus, I found the cutest baskets from Target to decorate. Keep reading to recreate these gift baskets and for FREE printable.

DIY BASKET
It was love at first sight when I saw these baskets at Target. The Picnic totes were right up front in the dollar spot section and I quickly grabbed several of them. I should have bought more but oh well. To start, I covered on side with a plastic bag and spray painted the other side, then switched. Once you have the yellow and white sections spray painted then tape off the pink and silver sections and apply two coats of paint. Lastly, add the No.2 and lines using paint pens.
BASKET CONTENTS
There are so many options, picking which one will be the only problem. If you know the teacher’s favorite things than that is even better. I actually took the basket back into the store to see how much would fit in it. The Born Basic Hand Sanitizer 33oz is a perfect fit in the round side of the basket. You can fill the bottom first with sanitizing wipes and tissues before adding in the rest. Here are some options but of course you are not limited to these.
