Thank you, thank you notes!

As teachers, we are lucky in so many ways. One of those ways is being on the receiving end of generous gifts!  I go through SO MANY thank you cards during the year. It's always important to give thanks for gifts, but it can really add up!

This is where my obsession with VistaPrint.com comes in handy! VistaPrint is a website you can order lots of personalized items. It's mostly thought of as a promotional or merchandising website for businesses, but there are so many ways it can work in the classroom.



I typically get thank you cards from Dollar Tree, but even 8 for $1 can go quickly. Last year, I decided to design my own online postcards and it has been awesome!

I logged into VistaPrint to get started. Under "all products" choose "marketing materials" and then "postcards".  There are hundreds of pre-made designs. Looking through them and deciding on a design was the hardest part!  I went with stripes and decided on my message for the front. I left the backside blank for me to write on.

I ordered 100 for $9.99. It sounds like a lot, but I haven't had to reorder yet. I love them! They're a great way to quickly write a thank you note and they're special because they're personalized.

Before you order, watch for sales and coupon codes. They almost always have some sort of promotion going on . As an added BONUS, when you order, VistaPrint sends you a coupon for your next order!

These are just one of the many, many ways I use VistaPrint in my classroom. Keep watching for more!
