School started this week and my boys are both settling in with their new classes and new teachers. I have such love and respect for the hard important work teachers do, it is fun to come up with neat ways to share my appreciation with a teacher gift, like this globe-topped candy jar. The globe is darling alone, but gets even better when it’s set atop a darling vintage-inspired candy jar filled with treats.
I shared the full DIY over on the World Market Discover Blog, where I’ve loved contributing each month. Whether in the classroom, or on a desk at home, this candy jar will be a sweet reminder of how teachers open up the world for their students. Attach a sweet ” I can’t wait to explore with you this year” note, and you’re starting the year off just right. (Even if you forget to bring the teacher gift the first day of school and give one in the first couple weeks instead.)

I also talked to my mom this week who was excited about making one for my youngest sister who began college this week. A globe candy jar filled with study treats is such a fun idea for a student gift as well!
