Teachers are essential to our community and our children, so showering them with gifts is a great idea. Here is your inspiration for creating fall gift baskets for teachers and friends.

I enjoy putting together gift baskets for my friends and family. Finding and collecting fabulous foods, candles, and mugs and designing a pretty basket is my idea of fun.

Yankee Candle asked me to create a teacher’s gift basket with their wonderful fall candles.

So when you’re buying back-to-school supplies add a few of these beautiful candles and home fragrance gifts for your child’s teacher!

All their fall fragrances are just what I needed to inspire and create these fabulous baskets for teachers.

Do you own any Yankee Candles?

I have a few, and I must admit that the fall ones are extra special. Their fragrances align well with the fall season of apples, pumpkins, and spices. These candles immediately transport me to all the holidays and activities surrounding autumn.

It was so much fun creating these three teacher gift baskets!

How to Arrange the Baskets

Place the paper filler in each basket and then arrange items in a pleasing style. If you have color-coordinated items you’ll create a beautiful basket! And don’t forget to tie a pretty bow on the handle and add touches of fall leaves.
