As a little thank you to the children's teachers for all they do, I put together these Summer In A Basket gifts for the last day. Inside I tucked a few of my favorite summer things: Sparkling Clementine Izze, a striped straw, Essie polish, a Barnes & Noble gift card and my favorite snack of the moment- raw almonds + dried cranberries.

With a little tweaking you could make this work for pretty much any occasion. A housewarming basket would be really fun to put together. . .

lovely gift! if i was a teacher, i'd be so excited. thoughtful and sweet.
that is darling!
cute! i think i need to stock up on those baskets!
So cute! I did a Spring in a Box kit a little bit ago. I LOVE the idea of a summer kit!!
I need one of those. It is mighty HOT in Brazil!
summer in a basket? perfect. izze, striped straws, that nail polish (my fave brand!) love it all!
I can't get over how creative you are. You're amazing!
What a thoughtful gift! I bet they absolutely loved it!
What a great idea. I love that polish. I have the really pale pink and it looks like a French manicure when it is on.
So cute, I love this and may even use a version of it for my photo contest winners! Thanks for the idea. :)
This is outrageously wonderful! How do you come up with these things? Beautiful.
Hello!!!!!! What an amazing gift!!! Brilliant!
Lovely as always Danyelle. And what lucky teachers! One thing I really miss about having stores like Hobby Lobby around me is stumbling upon cute little things like that. You dressed those baskets up beautifully.
I love your ideas! Any good fathers day ideas for us?? :)
I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to hire you to do my teacher gifts next year ;) Just kidding. Kind of...
What an adorable and thoughtful gift! I love the almond and cranberry mixture especially - equal parts homemade, sweet, and delicious!
I used to be a teacher and I can tell you that the teacher getting this is going to appreciate the effort you put into every little piece... A lot more thoughtful than just a Starbucks card (I got 18 of those for Christmas one year and I don't even drink coffee!)
i love this!
I was feeling so good about the boxes of See's Candy I sent to my children's teachers for end-of-the-year thank-you's...up until now.
Adorable gifts! And I promise, my self esteem wasn't too damaged by this post...lol!
I love the gift basket, especially the striped spool of ribbon in the picture. Where did you find that ribbon?
Aw, we have such kindred craft spirits ;) I totally just did a "summer in a bag" diy for a book submission and included a bottle of nail polish too. Love your basket idea! xo.
I love love love this. I suspect your children's teachers are feeling very spoiled right now! Gift baskets and are a wonderful idea because so easy to personalise - making it special for the recipient and the gifter too!
Those are the gifts we were talking about last week. So thoughtful and appreciated. -nicole
Love this! You continue to out do yourself! Thank you for always sharing.
This is such a cute gift idea for teachers! I wish I thought of this when I was younger and in school. I'm sure they'd have loved it!

super cute!!
That is such a cute idea! I don't need teacher gifts anymore, but I'm using this for my VT's. :) Don't you love Izzy. Sooo good.
As a teacher I have to tell you I would be thrilled! This is adorable and so thoughtful!
This is such a sweet idea! I'll be homeschooling, but my mom is a teacher so maybe my daughter and I could make one for her one day =)
