Default Some Gifts For My Grandsons Teachers
Since school is ending down here .. my grandson ask me for a gift for his principal and teacher ..

After thought .. I decided on a simple box from Hobby Lobby .. stained with a minature carving on top ..

Needless to say he was pleased .. just a idea for a simple gift

What a wonderful idea Gene. I'm sure they will be excited to receive such a great handcrafted gift. I'm afraid that if I was in your Grandson's shoes, I'd keep the boxes and give my teacher and principal a card or something. But that's just me. Great job.

Very cool gift ideas. You are a very good Grandpa and I bet the teachers are glad not to get another typical teacher gift.
