You can grab these free printables for every occasion from Paper Coterie. I think they are cute for last minute gifts or maybe teacher appreciation gifts.
The You Make Me Smile would be very sweet to tuck into a lunch box.
There are other cute ones like- You are Fantastic, Thinking of Your and lots more. You can choose from a couple of different color schemes.
Head over to Paper Coterie to get your free printables.
Sometimes I just save things like this and send it to Staples to print. It’s about $.50 for full color on nice paper.
You can check out a few Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas I recently posted.
I had these pages as well as the “Thank you a Latte” from you and the sharpies themed tags sent to staples a few days ago. I drove 40 minutes to our nearest staples to pick them up today and they would not give them to me! They said I needed a written authorization (specifically to me–showing them the blog page with the FREE download wasn’t acceptable) from each creator. Have you ever had this experience? I’m super bummed since I was going to send the sharpie gift to my daughter’s pre-k teacher tomorrow as she doesn’t have school today. I am in no way trying to blame you. Just sooo irritated with Staples! We are in a rural area without a lot of copy and print options and I don’t have color printer ;(
Heather,
For the future there is a shipping option although Staples is 5 min away so I don’t know the cost or anything.
I think that is outrageous and I can’t believe you had to make that drive. I understand respecting copyrights but I find that shocking. No it hasn’t been my experience at all. Never once. I would really write a stern letter to Staples and I would follow that with a stern post on the Facebook wall.
Do you have any other options at all? A Costco, a Kinkos, other office supply stores or even a friend that might be willing to print something? I wonder if your library has a color printer?
I’ll check into those other options Charlene. Thanks for the ideas that I hadn’t yet considered as I’m still steaming! Of course, I had other errands (that’s where our closest Costco, etc. are) so I wasn’t making a special trip.
I had invitations (bought on Etsy) printed at Staples about a month ago and they printed them on the wrong paper (but didn’t ask me for a copyright release on that occasion) so I don’t think I’ll be going back! And I will be writing a letter once I cool down a bit.
Thanks again for your response and all you do. I’ve been loving all the gift ideas you’ve been posting!
Heather- no problem at all. You know you can upload prints from Costco and have them print them but the problem I have with Costco is they only support certain file types. I haven’t found a printable yet that was the right file type. I think it has to be jpeg and I have tried changing a PDF to a jpeg and it didn’t work.
