Target Coins

I was walking through the electronics section of Target today, when I came across a bag of these:

(These coins have a set amount, but the ones I saw didn't.)

I don't know why this got me excited. I mean they are just gift cards right?

Like gift cards, I can put any amount on it.

Unlike gift cards they are appealing to kids.

I have visions of giving these to my kids for a job well done and them puting them in their piggy banks. The piggy bank I never have gotten for them.

Hey! Maybe they can BUY a Target Piggy Bank with one of their gift coins!

Call me crazy, but I like these. What fun rewards for my kids.

Teacher Gift

This year I struggled a bit to think of a teacher gift. After teaching I ended up with lots and LOTS of gifts that I didn't know what to do with and eventually threw or gave away. So I have two rules with my kids teachers.

1.) It must be disposable. And easily too without any guilt.

2.) If it isn't disposable than it must be a gift certificate. And something they can use. Not to a random place they will never go to.

So I was trying to think of what to get the kids teachers and thanks to my sister I found the perfect idea.

Gourmet Cupcakes.

More specifically, Cupcakes from here:
There is a store locally next to the Quilted Bear in Provo. They are more expensive than a Walmart cupcake, but eating these is an experience. A blissful, private experience....

I mean, just look at them:
I'm not saying I would sell my soul for one of these, but I may consider it.

My favorites are the Coconut and the Raspberry Lemonade.

The one with the cherry is Vanilla and the one with the strawberry is Strawberry Shortcake. Both equally tasty.

Wow, I may need to get another one.

Oh and they also have cake bites and other tasty things. But it's the cupcakes that are worthwhile. I actually eat the frosting. And trust me, that is saying a lot.

I hope I've made you want one, or at the very least will leave me alone while I eat mine.
