What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD

Fun and creative locker ideas for the coolest kid in the hall. School locker organization DIY on Frugal Coupon Living for Middle and High Schoolers.

Locker Ideas for the Coolest Kid in the Hall

Pin to Pinterest

Middle school can be intimidating. The big halls, the switching classes, feeling like a little fish in a large pond… but come on, when it comes to the locker (only), you know you wanna go back. To me, decorating a locker is like the graduation of decorating your childhood doll house. You have graduated from the dolls/Barbies, but this gives you your unique space to have fun and call your own. While my girls are still in elementary school, I had fun with this post. I love the rungs, the chandeliers, the shelving, the decor, all the little touches that would make your little (excuse me, big girl) feel special on the first day of school! And you know what mom, a lot of it is still fun and juvenile just to keep her from growing up too soon!

Locker Party Idea: with some of these homemade locker crafts, consider having friends over a few weeks before school starts. You could buy plush fabric and make your own locker carpets. You could also buy all the supplies you need to make some of these DIY locker decorations. It’s a fun way to celebrate and bond before the first school bell rings.

Ok really, how easy and adorable are these DIY Glittered Clothespins? Frugal, easy, and a fun locker accessory! I love that you can do them yourself in a day. You know our little girl will take pride in them too. | The Proper Blog

A school locker essential might be a fun dry erase board. We love this Locker Zebra Dry Erase Board from Pottery Barn Teen. You can find more HERE.

Have your subjects stand out with these printable binder covers! Easily see each subject without digging in your locker! | The Preppy Greek

In your locker, magnets must be strong! Take a look at the best locker magnet. This one can hold a lot of weight without slipping! | Lockers and Magnets

The floor of a locker can get gross – especially after the dozens of students that have used the locker before you! Pick up a fun locker rug – a Locker Lookz Shaggy Rug!

Your daughter is going to love personalizing her space! Take a look at these fun and creative locker wallpapers! No one wants to look at ugly metal! These prints come from Pottery Barn Teen.

Just walking inside a Hobby Lobby store gives me inspiration. If you need a look to inspire your creative locker juices, take a look at this adorable locker! | Hobby Lobby

Chandelier in your locker? We say “Yes please!” Let there be light. | The Container Store

I love this color coded key for keeping track of your subjects and classes. Notice how each binder is a different color and the chart on the locker door lists the color-coded subjects. | Source Unknown

Is staying organized difficult. Take a look at this homemade ombre command center, perfect locker decor! | She’s Kinda Crafty

Batteries Not Included – Practical Battery Gift Tag for Christmas

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

July 5, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Christmas, Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Batteries not Included. Download this free Battery Gift Tag and become a child’s superhero this Christmas season with this practical gift idea! Or encourage someone with well wishes of ENERGY through the holiday break.

Battery Gift Tag for Christmas

On Frugal Coupon Living, it’s the year of the practical gift. In year’s past, we shared with you our Fleece Navidad Blanket (that was a hit) and our M&M Mason Jar Poem. This year we brought you the Gift Wrap Printable and our latest one, a Battery Gift Tag. Both are found in our list of Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Neighbors.

Okay, so it seems like a silly gift but how many times has Christmas morning arrived and you lack a battery for a toy? I cannot tell you the numerous times this happened to us. I am lucky enough that I stock up on Amazon Basic Batteries with our monthly Subscribe & Save, so luckily we have a battery box I can always run too, but others might not be as organized as you when it comes to remaining on top of your Amazon Prime needs (wink!)

Battery Gift Tag

If you want to be a super hero this holiday season, gift batteries. The kids will thank you when they can enjoy their new toys on Christmas morning. You can gift this to neighbors, co-workers, friends, teachers and more! It can be a small part of a larger gift if you just feel silly handing over batteries. Maybe you gift it with a child’s toy too!

Battery Gift Tag Supplies

Not many supplies are needed for this craft. I actually used curling ribbon I keep in my gift wrapping drawers. Seriously my favorite part of wrapping a gift is sliding the blade of my scissors along the back of the curling ribbon and Voilà – there it is, an adorable curl!

You obviously need batteries. Like I said, we have a stockpile of Amazon Basic Batteries but they don’t gift as well (unless you wrap with gift wrap.) They come in a cardboard box which could make a pretty wrapped present. I picked up these batteries at my local grocery store – just a quick add to my shopping cart!

Battery Gift Tag Directions

I print my gift tags at Staples Copy Center, more on that below. We order our four gift tags for under $1! In your free download, are gift tags for those that celebrate Christmas and those that use more of a generic term like holidays… you can gift this for all!

Use ribbon you have on hand and tie your Battery Gift Tag to your batteries without wrapping or you can wrap in a small cardboard box ( the Amazon Basic Batteries will come in an easy to wrap box).
