Get Winter Ready In Florida

Florida has one of the mildest winters in the continental United States. In fact, this city doesn’t experience typical winter.  It doesn’t get to snow so you don’t get to use fireplaces. However, there are a few ways through which you could create your very own ‘winter’ so that you don’t feel deprived of the season. Check them out below.

Get cozy with a winter film

Just because the temperatures are high doesn’t mean you can’t embrace the spirit of winter inside your home. Simply turn your AC down, grab a cozy blanket, and get your favorite Christmas movie running. This will get you feeling all winter-ish in no time. You can begin with some classics like A Christmas Story or others from your collection. Don’t have any winter movies? Not to worry, just do a quick web search and get some ideas of what to buy or stream.

Hit up the ice rink

One of the common features of the Christmas movies shot during winter is skating at the rink while holding hands and laughing. In fact, this is a classic winter activity that you should undertake. To get this feeling, get your scarf and gloves on and go for a skate at the ice rink. This will not only cool you down amid the Florida heat, it also gives you an opportunity to experience good old traditional winter fun that takes place across the rest of America. And make sure you get good company as you plan for this.

Attend snow festivals

Florida hosts multiple snow festivals that accommodate just about everyone who desires to celebrate winter spirit in t-shirts and shorts. This place is especially great for families. One of the popular festivals around this time is the Snow Fest in Sarasota. The festival features a snowman building, amusement rides, Santa, arts and crafts, as well as snow globes. This is a great way to enjoy winter, spend time with your family, and have your picture taken with Santa.

Winter Treats

You can also get into the winter spirit going by embracing baking recipes for cookies and cakes at home. You can fill the house with the smell of warm cinnamon and vanilla because that is what winter is all about. You can make sugar cookies, cinnamon rolls, gingerbread cookies and even Nanaimo bars among others.

Visit a sub-zero ice bar

If you’re over 21 years, you can pop into a sub-zero ice bar. Orlando’s famed Icebar is the world’s largest permanent ice bar. It is made using 70 tons of carved ice. This bar is a great place to experience a North Pole atmosphere in Florida while you enjoy your favorite cocktails. You only need to make sure you book ahead of time because the waiting list can be pretty long.

Well, although Florida doesn’t naturally experience winter, it takes a little effort and creativity to experience a winter in this state. You just need to look around and see how best to make the most of the opportunities around you.

DIY Holiday Teacher Gifts

Teachers work hard and relentlessly to guide and educate kids. Therefore, it is only fair to appreciate them for the good work they do and for their dedication. And what better time to appreciate them than during holidays! Even then, finding the perfect teacher gift can be hard. Well, the good news is that you don’t have to break the bank to show appreciation to the teachers. Instead, you can opt for some amazing Do-It-Yourself (DIY) crafts that will melt their hearts. There are a number of meaningful DIY gift ideas you could consider. All you need to do is gather your supplies and get started. Check them out below.

Personalized stationery set

This is an excellent choice for the teacher as they can use it to organize their tools of the trade. From the pens to the many notes they send students home with, a stationery set will let them have all their stationery organized well in one place. You can also consider including a DIY thank you card to go with it making it even more personal.

A monogram tote bag

A monogram tote bag made with a freezer paper stenciling technique crowned with a cute gift tag is another awesome DIY teacher holiday gift idea. Of course, every teacher would appreciate the gift of a day-to-day bag to help them lug around graded papers and handouts, among other things. Be sure to play with the words on the cute gift tag so that they can connect with it.

Mason jar school supply organizer

Teachers often use mason jars to store most of their student supplies such as pens, pencils, and coloring pens. Therefore, a mason jar school supply organizer makes for another excellent DIY teacher gift that will help the teacher to stay organized hence they will definitely appreciate it. You can personalize it by including the teacher’s name on it as well as prepare some labels for the jars to complete it.

A personalized mug

You don’t have to stick with DIY gifts that are directly associated with teaching. You could consider doing a personalized mug by simply transforming a plain mug with some form of art. To do this, you will need oil-based paint pens and a good scrapbook sticker. You can then use a monogram design you like from the scrapbook sticker. Carefully stick it on the mug and use your colored paint pens to fill the area around monogram with multiple dots. Once you have the design you want, you can then peel off the sticker. This will leave you with a desirable mug your teacher will definitely fall in love with.

There are many simple DIY ideas you can embrace to appreciate teachers over the holidays. You just need to identify one that you can flourish in and implement it superbly. It would also be nice if you could find out your teacher’s preferences before choosing what to prepare for them. And most importantly, have fun while making your gift!
