"Hipsters" to the Rescue: What are your "Hip" Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas?
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Thursday, April 28th, 2011 at 4:30 pm.
Can you believe that the 2010-2011 school year is nearing an end and summer break is right around the corner!?! As you may already know, during the week of May 2-6 many schools will be honoring their teachers with Teacher Appreciation Week! Every year at this time, I struggle to come up with a unique AND affordable gift to present to my kiddo’s teachers that my kids can also participate in creating…a “hip” gift that their teachers will enjoy and appreciate 
. Over the past few weeks, I have received many emails from Hip2Save readers who are also trying to find ways to create a meaningful “Thank You” gift that won’t break the bank.
I was browsing around on the web in search of some cute Teacher Appreciation gift ideas and came across a few super cute and affordable ideas, courtesy of Tip Junkie.com! Here are a few of my favorite ideas…
*Pencil flower vase (as pictured above)
*Dollar Store Flower pots with a packet of seeds
*A Gift to Enjoy Summer with beach towel, magazine subscription, tanning lotion, etc.
*Extra Special Gift bag stating “Thank you for an extra EXTRA Fun year!” including a pack of Extra gum (as pictured above)
I have some very creative Hip2Save readers 
, so once again, I am asking YOU to share your ideas for how to create affordable yet meaningful gifts for teachers in the comment section below! Or if you’re drawing a blank, you may want to check out the comments section from the previous Teacher Appreciation posts here or here for even more tips and ideas. And, if you’re a teacher, what gifts do YOU personally enjoy receiving?
To all of you teachers out there….THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You are so valued and appreciated!
(Thanks for the “Hip” tips, Tip Junkie!)

Pay It Forward Day: Random Acts of Kindness
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Thursday, April 28th, 2011 at 12:52 pm.
Did you know that today is Pay it Forward Day? As I’ve mentioned before in previous posts and in this Follow Me Monday Challenge video, I truly believe that paying it forward with random acts of kindness can have a powerful impact on your own life and the lives of others! So here’s a challenge…why not pay it forward in some way today?
Here are some ideas to get ya thinkin’…
* Be a coupon fairy and leave a coupon behind in a store
* Walk someone’s dog
* Babysit for free (gotta love that one 
)
* Clean someone’s house
* Give a lottery ticket to a stranger
* Treat a police officer to a cup of coffee
* Bring some goodies to the fire station
* Pay the highway toll for the person behind you
* Donate food, clothing, and money to the needy
* Smile at every person you meet today
* Raise money for a person who lost their home to natural disasters or fire
* Hold a garage sale and give the proceeds to an organization who helps others
Or if you’re looking to Pay it Forward online, you may be interested in this…
If you could help organizations to fight cancer, child abuse, homelessness, animal cruelty, and more with just 30 seconds or less of your time each day AND with no cost to you, would you jump on board?! Well, this is the idea behind Click to Give. With Click to Give, you browse the menu of causes and select which great cause(s) you’d like to help with a simple click of your mouse. When you click on the ‘Click to Give’ button associated with each organization, a click is then registered in their system of which every dollar made by the advertising shown on the ‘Thank You’ page goes directly to that charity you are wanting to help. (Click here and then click on the “Follow Our Progess” link in the left sidebar to view the clicks and donations that have been generated in real time.)
As a Click to Give member, you can view the impact your clicks are making (in your Members Control Panel, click ‘View My Impact’ to see exactly how your clicks are helping), receive FREE merchandise for clicking, and more! Interested in becoming a member? Just head on over here and sign up!
With that being said, I truly believe that what goes around comes around. How do you pay it forward?
