What’s the Project? Get creative with this fun birthday gift idea for friends! Grab all things “teal” and fill up a gift basket, then add this fun tag “I just want to TEAL you Happy Birthday!” A very creative gift for a friend that she’s sure to love!
I just want to “teal” you how much we love this color. Turquoise, mint, teal, whatever you want to call it, it’s pretty! And I like it.
I also want to “teal” you how much we love putting together fun and simple gifts for friends-whether it’s for birthdays or as a thank you, for a holiday or just to brighten a day. But hopefully, you’ve figured that out by now.
So why not “teal” your friends “Happy Birthday!” with this cute teal themed birthday gift idea for friends. Fill up a jar or a basket or bag with all sorts of teal-colored things and add this cute gift tag that says “I Just Want to Teal You Happy Birthday!”
Or how about “I just want to TEAL you thank you!” Or maybe “I just want to TEAL you that you are a great friend!” Cheesy but fun yes?

Such a lovely gift! I LOVE teal too and the items that you have gathered are so…beautiful and teal! 😉
I have made a similar gift to a friend of mine but with her favorite color (orange!), using a small orange straw basket, which had inside a small orange hand towel, a body lotion in orange bottle, an orange soap, an orange bath lily, an orange nail file and a small sand colored brush! Unfortunately that was long ago and I don’t have a photo to share with you. Thank you for the great gift idea and printables!

Tina says
I love making gifts like this. I always use a theme for my gift. Things like bathing items or kitchen items. Everyone seems to enjoy them. Winning a Cricut sure would make making a card or tag easier.
Faye says

That’s some wicked bad punning… Not a great fan of teal, personally, but who knows, maybe I’ll warm up to it. You never can TEAL!
Cathy Hanlin says
I love your ideas, could almost call it my very own. I have been Tealing all year to my friends and family! I just finished a mug rug that was teal, and for Mothers Day, I Tealed a beautiful purse(Genda from Swoon Patterns) for my mother n law! I have made several baby blanket in Teal because the sex was not known, my bathroom is in Teal owls and our sons is Teal bubbles(shower curtain) white and brown, so pretty. Teal (darker tones) are my drapes in the master bedroom with ideas of a Teal spread in the making(fabric is bought but finishing other projects first). School is soon to start and I have the Minions in Teal for a lunch tote and bookbag for our grandson that love the Minions. I have a plate collection of John Wayne and the Teal one gave me the ideas to have spring curtains in a Western Teal Print, because of the Teal containers and accessories in the kitchen and dinning room. The winter curtains are a pine cone and Teal Green backing and shadowing. ECT, thank you for the project idea, love it and l would love to TEAL you I look forward to opening up your site! c hanlin

Hello!
This is so cute! With teacher appreciation coming up, a teacher one would be great! I’m not sure if you do custom tags but if you do let me know. I did a tickled pink that your my teacher basket for my daughter’s teacher at the beginning of the year. This would be a great way to end the year!
Amber says
I added that!
Amber says
Just kidding. I just reread your comment. I CAN add that!

I love this idea of the teal jar. One of my best friends favorite color is teal and this will be a perfect christmas present or birthday gift. Teal always brightens up the mood. Im going to get the opportunity to share my room with only my sister now and not both of my siblings and have of my room is goingmto be a color close to teal. Its just such a nice shade of blue not to bright and not to dark.
P.s. Im definitely trying this for my friends but with different colors so its different!!!! Love it so much!!!!
