snack attack

snack attack 2

Problem:  You’ve got the munchies.  You need a quick boost of energy.  You need it now.  Those 20 (give or take) faces staring at you are expecting you to perform.  Thing is, you can’t leave your classroom to grab a bite.

Solution: Reach in your drawer and grab something from your snack attack box graciously given to you during Teacher Appreciation Week by a caring, and understanding, parent.

Want to be that parent, friend or colleague?  Easy.  Because you have Garnish.

We saw this idea in a catalogue and we made it our own.  No need to use their, no offense, sorta cheesy boxes.  Use a blank slate and make it your own.  We used the squat white gable box for one of our snack attack boxes and the 4×4x4 kraft box for the other.  How fun is the packing list label on the gable box?!  Really any container or bag will do the job.

What you put inside is your choice.  Anything to curb the hunger.  But since we did ours for Teacher Appreciation Week we put the following:

Mini Chips Ahoy – Because you’re always willing to chip in with a helping hand.

Mounds Bar – For the mounds of appreciation you deserve.

Cup of Soup – Because you warm our hearts with your commitment.

Pretzels – For being someone we can count on in a crunch.

Popcorn – Because we’re bursting with gratitude for you!

Teacher Appreciation Week begins May 3rd.  Administrative Day is April 22nd.  Nurse’s Day is May 12th.  Great idea for bridesmaids and groomsmen too.  For that matter, snack attacks happen to all of us.

FYI…all the items we listed will fit in square kraft box, with the lid open.  You could always substitue some items to be able to close the lid.  For example, take out pretzels and put in Kit Kat bar and you can use the same saying.  The packing list label had to be trimmed to fit on this particular box.

If anyone loves the packing list idea as much as we did, we’ve got extras that we don’t need.  Just put in the comments section of the shopping cart the number of labels you would like and we’ll include them in your order…for free (while supplies last)!

Keep those munchies at bay, the Garnish way!

Garnish + Enjoy
