Deborah Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 My sister will be homeschooling her 10th & 8th grade boys and her 6th grade daughter... YIPPEE! :hurray: I'd like to mail her a great big huge and wonderful gift basket filled with all kinds of necessary and not so necessary school goodies. I'm thinking supplies, gift certificates etc. She is a teacher, has read the WTM years ago and I think she is leaning towards K12 What would YOU toss in that box?!?

Beach Mom Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 What a nice sister, and what a great idea for a new homeschool mom. I would throw in a couple of my favorite curriculum catalogs, a box of cinnamon tea, some gift certificates (Barnes and Noble, Staples, Panera (big kids around here love to have school at Panera)), some nice pens and pencils (I am a fan of the Bic Liquid Expresso pens:)), and maybe a pizza gift card for those days that don't go as planned and dinner doesn't get made. I am sure she will appreciate your thoughtfulness and encourgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
