GIFT GUIDE // TEACHERPRENEURS & OTHER #BOSSBABES                 {& a GIVAWAY!}

12/14/2015

2 Comments

 
Time is ticking on the holiday countdown!  I've had so much fun putting together a series of gift guides for teachers...other special ladies....& YOURSELF!  Today I'm featuring office supplies for organization, inspiration, and productivity, with a splash of style & pizazz. Trust me, these goodies will make school, home, or other #bossbabe work much more fun.

If you still need to buy for colleagues, blogging besties, or teachers of your own kiddos, take a peek. Know other fab ladies who need some sassy office supplies? You'll love these. Better yet?? Look around for YOURSELF! This is MY personal WISH LIST as I'm redecorating my home office. I figure....investing in my teacherpreneur efforts is never a bad idea, right? I'll be putting those Christmas gift cards & cash to good use this year!  TOMORROW will feature a new gift guide, so come back for more swoon-worthy gift ideas!

XOXO -Lindsey

​
1) I will probably use the phrase #bossbabe 10+ times in this post, so CLEARLY I love this "Call me boss lady" mug with gorgeous script font. MUST.HAVE.

2) Kate Spade NY Flawless Office Stapler. 'Nuff said. It's gorgeous. It's functional. It says "Keep it together." There's no reason why this stapler should NOT be on your desk!

3) Whether you're stamping classroom library books, personal notes, or business letters, I LOVE this adorable custom heart return address stamp. The handwritten font is adorable, & I adore the custom touch to a typically boring return address!
​
4) I'm always looking for a teacher/work bag...that doesn't look like a teacher/work bag. I LOVE this mint/honey leather tote & it's shape, as well as strappy accents! WANT ONE!

​
5) I {HEART} Pantone!! This gray tin would be perfect for storing so many office/school goodies
​(photos, notecards, supplies, & more), and goes with pretty much any color scheme!
​Durable + functional + cute = WINNER!

6) Just when you think you couldn't love Erin Condren any more...she pushes beyond her Life & Teacher Planners & creates office accessories...and YES, you need them.

​7) I'm a high-tech gal, that loves to write things down. Conflicting right? I just love getting creative on paper & then making it come to life digitally. Who doesn't want a metallic gold polka dot journal to spark ideas & creativity?

8) How cute is this?
I'm revamping my home office & need something to add to my shelves that's both beautiful & functional enough to keep my books in order. These elephant book ends are perfect. An elephant never forgets...& I won't forget this gem!

9)  I always hope that Ideas Take Flight when I'm working, and with this framed artwork featuring gorgeous butterflies is sitting on your desk or wall, it seems impossible NOT to come up with something amazing.

10) ...Can't decide if I like the grey tin above in #5, or this gorgeous mint!

11) These gold stork scissors are almost too pretty to use...{ALMOST}. Imagine cutting lamination or student center work with these babies! Perfection!

12) I HATE sorting mail....but maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I could use this vintage Dachshund letter organizer.​  So cute! I would love this 
​on my desk!

13) Whether your budgeting your teacher expenses, or organizing for teacherpreneur taxes, this budget notebook and receipts journal make it easy to keep your #bossbabe finances in order.

14) I can't live without my Erin Condren planners. You may think it's crazy, but I have and use BOTH the Life Planner & the Teacher Planner. I like to segment the components of my life in order to best stay organized and not forget EVERYTHING. Life Planner for home, Gray, & social.....Teacher Planner for school & #bossbabe stuff!

15) Sometimes less is more & acronyms can say it all. I think these acronym sticky notes are da-bomb. Guess what? They also come in file folders! IDK (I don't know) about you...but this seems like it would make office work much.more.fun.

​16) Personal planners are a necessity, & Erin Condren is my fave, but I also like a nice desk calendar. The only problem is...they're usually huge & boring. This wooden stand, geometric print calendar commands attention without taking up tons of desk space.

17) Wake up and smell the...inspiration & girl power. I live on green tea, like others live on coffee. I have some standard household mugs at home, but none inspire me like this. I can imagine using this #bossbabe mug on the weekends to GSD (Get Stuff* Done)!

18) I can't get enough Ryan Gosling....period, and think his HEY GIRL memes are hilarious. The teacher versions crack me up EVERY.TIME. Darby Smart created this hilarious supply organizing pouch featuring the one-and-only Sir Gosling. In fact, they have an entire Ryan Gosling-inspired "romantics" GIFT LIST. If that doesn't make this company cool...I don't know what does!



WINNER of the ERIN CONDREN Teacher Planner:
Congrats, Tracy Felts Rawles!!

The old adage that it's better to give than to receive is well known, but why this is so is not widely understood.

For example, you have to attend and make plans for parties and you also have to contend with gift giving. If you are unaware if the other person is planning on giving you a gift, then gift giving can get tricky.
