Teacher Appreciation Gifts


Today was Miss Kiki's last day of pre-school and this past week I have been crunching my brain about what to get for the teachers. Let me rephrase that: I have been rigorously browsing Pinterest for ideas for presents for her teachers. They have all been very caring and supportive of Miss Kiki's at school, and Miss Kiki loves them all. I am a very grateful mother for that.

I wanted a gift that is useful, memorable, and from the heart. After browsing different ideas, I decided that the gift should be personalized with the teachers' names. Now it's just a matter of what it is.... Mugs? Tumblers? Or...?!

Lucky for me I have a network of wonderful, talented, smart, supportive, and simply awesome ladies from my alma mater, Santa Ursula High School. One of them owns Pintal Home, a home decor business that can do custom design orders on pouches, totes, pillows, and more. So this is what we came up with...

A pouch about the size of a mini iPad, with one of Miss Kiki's paintings as the front design, and the back is personalized with the teacher's name. With the painting, we added a quote about teachers.

I've mentioned in a post last year that Miss Kiki takes drawing lessons,  so I chose the latest painting she did, a water colour piece.


The left one is the teacher's painting and the right one is Miss Kiki's
And these are the end results...






I love them! Miss Kiki was very proud to tell her teachers that it was her artwork, and they were all very happy too. All in all, I think this was a good idea. If you want to contact Pintal Home, you can email pintalhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +62 811 888 6414 

Please don't forget to tell the nice lady that you found her through me :)

For the administration staff and the helpers I found nice Terry Palmer towels and have them embroidered with names. I think they are also nice... For the male helpers I got Batik shirts.




I am quite happy with them all.... If you have any ideas or suggestions for other gifts for teachers, please do not hesitate to let me know! :)

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
