School ends here next week and today we are putting together our annual end of the school year gifts for my kids’ classmates and friends.

This year they agreed (shocker!) on the same gift idea: Pop Rocks! So I created these simple gift tags with two phrases to tape to the individual pop rock packs.

No baggies, ribbon, hole punching, etc this year (woohoo) and I love how cute and fun they are!

I love how thoughtful my girls are!

They take the time every year to make gifts and write thank you cards to their friends and teachers.

We found the best deal on the Pop Rocks at the Dollar Tree where they sell 3 individual packs for $1.25. You can also find them on Amazon, Party City, and Walmart.

Can’t find or don’t want to give Pop Rocks? You could also gift Rock Candy sticks or small bags of Chocolate Rocks and still use the Summer Rocks tags below.

I created two phrases for the free gift tags below:

Hope Your Summer Rocks! and Hope Your Summer Is Poppin!

Print out both or just one. They come in small 10 to a page or large 8 to a page.

My girls hard at work signing their names to the bottom of each cut out gift tag.

It’s optional but I think signing your name or adding a little note makes it more special and personal!

Now add tape to the back of the tag ( I used double sided) and place centered on the Pop Rocks pack.

The small size tags fit nicely on the bottom front of the packs and the larger tag fits perfectly on the whole backside.

All done and ready to gift!

With back to school right around the corner, I wanted to make a fun first day of school gift for my girls.

We enjoy baking together so cookies were an easy gift idea and I made them even better with these adorable Smart Cookie cards and tags to attach to their sweet treat!

Scroll down to download and print the cards for your back to school kiddos below!

I have included both gift tags and a card on one sheet for you to print and use.

The card is perfect for putting in a lunchbox, gift basket, or simply adding to a plate of cookies.

The gift tag has a space to punch a hole and tie a ribbon on top to attach to a treat bag filled with cookies. 

My sweet girls (aka Smart Cookies) loved their back to school treat! 

Happy back to school! Be sure to save yourself a cookie (or two)!

Print your tags and cards!

It’s almost the end of the school year and my kiddos can’t wait for summer fun! One of their favorite outdoor activities is playing with bubbles .

So for their end of school gifts for their friends and classmates we made bubble gift tags and attached them to bubble wands and bottles of bubbles as kid friendly summertime presents.

I have included two different printable gift tags below in both small and medium sizes.

Scroll down for the links to print. 

Also check out these End of the School Year Summer Themed Gifts and Tags!

Print, cut out, punch a hole on top, and tie with ribbon on bubbles for an easy and affordable gift!

Larger tags tied on the bubble wands make a nice gift for a close friend or special class mate.

For the girls classmates (they each have 22) I bought smaller bottles of bubbles and tied on the mini gift tags.

These bubbles came in an 8 pack for around $3.

Have a bright and bubbly summer!

 I hope your summer bubbles with fun!

Sweet Stella makes friends everywhere she goes.

She is always ready for fun and my bubbly and happy girl!

Thoughtful Ava has always been a gift giver. She makes cards, drawings, and homemade presents for all her best friends and family members on their birthdays.

She wanted to make sure we had bubbles for all her classmates and her teacher too!

My girls each had to try out their own bubble wand (of course!) before they gave the gifts to their friends.

We had a great time in our yard after school blowing bubbles and chasing them. It’s the simple pleasures in life y’all!

Enjoy these pics and comment below with your gift ideas for the end of school.

Print your gift tags!

These larger size round gift tags are perfect for tying on a gift bag or bubble wand.

They also have space on the back for writing a short note!
