I looked at the calendar today and realized there is just a little over 100 days to go until Christmas! ACK! Now that both of the kids are in school, this means lots more “little” gifts to be purchased for teachers, and that adds up fast! Both kids have 2 teachers, plus all the teachers they see for extra classes, like computer, music, etc. I am a teacher myself. At the risk of sounding terrible, DO NOT buy your child’s teacher another mug with an apple on it! Walk away from the apple mugs! Check out LoveIt Notepads instead!
LoveIt Notepads is NOT just a place to get teacher gifts, but dozens and dozens of other adorable choices for mom, kids, brides, shopping/to-do lists, and more! The best part is, for the same price as that apple mug that is going to become a dust collector, you can get something your child’s teacher will really use and enjoy! From the website: “We just LOVE notepads, so that is all we make! We mix modern and fresh designs with humor and creativity…..you can add your own humorous quotes, favorite taglines, Bible passages, wherever your creativity leads you!” Stephanie at LoveIt Notepads was so easy to work with and kindly sent me five different notepads to try out.

This one is my favorite! ADORABLE!
They are all fun, bright, cheerful, and functional. The kids loved theirs and immediately put them to use. Without any suggestion, my son left this on his daddy’s keyboard for him to find when he got home:

How cute is this? Can he stay little forever?
My absolute favorite (besides the Family Pad) are the stick figure notepads. These are completely customizable…you can change hair color, choose different faces to most closely resemble the members of your family, even adding glasses if needed! The options are whimsical, sweet, and endless. After getting my notepads from Stephanie, I immediately used one of the “From the Mom of” notes to let my son’s teacher know he was ready for his make-up test after missing a day of school. When she saw me she said, “I love those little notes you have!” Guess what she’s getting for Christmas? One hint: It’s not an apple mug! A few of my friends and I exchange gifts for Christmas and birthdays, not too pricey, and I think the notepads are perfect! LoveIt Notepads has lightning-fast processing time and sends you a proof to make sure everything is correct before they print. LoveIt Notepads offers precious options for kids too which I think make cute stocking stuffers or Easter basket fillers. I will most definitely be back for more LoveIt Notepads in the very near future.
