Need a Mother’s Day gift that only costs dollar? Then this is your lucky day!
When I saw these cute plastic pencil boxes at Staples for $.99 I had to think of something to do with them. Even Super Moms have to-do-lists! So I designed some cute “Super Mom” Notes for the cute box. Add a ribbon and matching pen and it makes the cutest gift!
More Recipes and Party Ideas
Besides notes, the ideas are endless for these pencil boxes!
Add gift cards, candy, sunglasses, pretty pencils, holiday socks, tea, make-up brushes or paint brushes and paint. Use whatever string, ribbon or fabric you have around the house for decoration. You can easily punch holes in the plastic with a regular paper punch.

Any chance you’d make one of these that says “Super Teacher” instead of Super Mom?

Love these! Do you happen to have the upc code on the back of one? I have tried putting in pencil case, box and nothing comes up on staples website. I would love to do these, but I am in Dubai, and we don’t have staples here. Thanks for your help and for your wonderful sharing spirit. K 🙂

This is such a great idea!! I tend to stock up on those boxes from Staples once a year and NEVER have anything to do with them but donate them! Staples runs a 1 cent sale right before school starts and I go crazy on this stuff!!
Thanks for the awesome idea!

I love these! In fact, I did the same thing…I have several of these little boxes and have just been sticking gift cards in them, but I like your ideas. Wondering….would it be possible to change the “Supermom” to “Room mom”??? These sheets happen to be our school colors and I’m thinking what a cool little gift go give all the moms who stepped up to take care of a classroom! Can you help me out???? 😉

What a great idea to add ribbon to the pencil box. I boughta box for my son I don’t think he would like it if I added ribbon. I might pick one up and make it for his teacher! Thanks for the nice notes too!
