I love this time of year. Fall is my favorite season and for me fall begins with back to school. I love school supplies and shopping for them. All those fresh, new folders, unsharpened pencils and blank notebooks make me happy! Even before I had kids, I would shop the sales to get great deals on office supplies this time of year.

If you have been reading this blog for a while, you may have found out that I have a weakness for pens. I am actually a bit of a pen snob. 

Sharpies have to be one of my favorite types of pens/markers. They have so many colors, they are permanent, and they write beautifully. I really love the new Sharpie pens that don’t bleed through paper. They are awesome.

I know teachers love and use Sharpies just as much as I do. I think it can be a nice way to start off the year by giving the new teacher(s) a little gift to show our appreciation for how hard they work.

I was shopping at Staples, my go-to store for office and school supplies, because I knew I would find a huge selection of Sharpies. Had my husband and kids not been waiting in the car for me, I could have spent at least a half hour perusing all the pens. But this time, I knew exactly what I wanted – some regular Sharpie markers – so it didn’t take long to find what I needed. I got the assortment pack of 12 pens in both the fine and ultra-fine size. The ultra-fine ones are my personal favorite.

I came up with a cute printable to go along with my teacher gift. See below to print your own! (Six tags will print per sheet.)
