This is a straightforward DIY Thank You Gift that would work great for almost anyone you need to give a small thank you to! We made these up to give to some teachers and school staff at the end of the year.

The thing I love the most about this thank you gift is that you are also helping the Girl Scouts out in the process! One of my daughters was a Girl Scout this year. I bought extra Thanks-a-Lot cookies to use as gifts! We used some at the open house at my husband's office last month, and I am using the rest to give to teachers and staff!
HOW TO MAKE AN EASY DIY THANK YOU GIFT
This is truly a DIY project that only takes minutes to make. Who doesn't love cookies?
PUNCH OUT TAGS
I started off using a large tag punch. This is an effortless way to cut out tags. I just used a sheet of white cardstock for the tags.

PRINT MESSAGE
Next, I typed my thank you message in Word and printed it on colored cardstock. I cut the cardstock down to fit inside the tag. I used a corner rounder to round the corners of the message to make it look a little nicer!

HOLE PUNCH TAG
I used a hole punch to put a hole in the top of the tag. I used scrapbooking adhesive to adhere the message to the top of the tag. I wanted to make the tag a bit snazzier, so I added a tiny sun with a rhinestone. I just used a small sun punch I had and a self-adhesive rhinestone.
ADD RIBBON
The last thing I did was add some ribbon to the tag and attach the tag to the cookie package using silver string. You could also use a regular ribbon, gift wrap ribbon, or a decorative wired edge crafting ribbon to attach the tag to the package. Using ribbons with wired edges makes it easier to create beautifully shaped bows or intricate designs so your thank-you gift stands out even more. to attach the tag to the package.

WHO DO YOU NEED TO THANK?
Here is the finished product! The girls were excited to take these to school on their last day and give them out to teachers and staff that they cared about!

I don't think thank you gifts always have to be big and expensive. I don't know very many people who wouldn't love to get a package of Girl Scout cookies! This was an easy DIY thank you gift that shows we care! It was also nice knowing that the money we spent on the cookies goes to help a great organization!
