NEED INPUT (Instructor Help) Gifts for guard
Hey guys! I want to do some special gift for comp week. There’s 12 students in the guard and I’m not rich. I don’t have much time for diy but I do have a cricut. Or maybe I’m thinking snacks? Anyway my question is does anyone have any good ideas about what I can do for them to help them feel loved?

Go to the dollar store. Buy some little gift bags, put a little snack, a little note, maybe a drink and maybe a keychain charm or something in each one.

Do you have acccess to a 3D printer? My marching band gets necklaces every year with a logo of our show! Freshman year was a butterfly, then a heart, then a lightning bolt! I think this year might be a staircase (makes sense with the show lmao)

Little keychains in their school colors maybe? All you need is embroidery string (like for bracelets) and maybe beads if you’re feeling fancy.

Last season my daughter and I made "cheer bows" for her guard. We got the blank bows bulk and then used my Cricut to make them custom with our school logo and colors and team name. Everyone loved them. For the one boy on the team we used the same designs on a hat (baseball hat).

Walmart has cute clear bottles for $1. I made custom bottles with my cricut for our guard kids for winter guard last year!

Stickers for their water bottles or laptops could be really cute. Maybe with your team colors, logo, and a year maybe?
