As the assistant coach for the cheer team at the local high school, I am trying to find an inexpensive gift I can give to the seniors on the squad. We have 9 seniors this year! Last year, we found some small teddy bears at the local drug store that had cheer uniforms on in the school colors. If you can believe it, we only paid about $2 apiece for those. I am looking for any ideas you have to share with me. Thank you so much!
When I was in high school, (70's) the girls in our cheer squad were each given a keychain. Someone had cut out and handpainted a little 3"long cheergirl out of wood and handpainted the uniforms on them and matched their haircolor and printed each one personally with their name. A keychain was attached.
My friend did something similar for her son's baseball team. She did one scrapbook page for each young man, with pictures of each boy, and the decoration on the page in the school colors, various prints. She couldn't afford some of the 'scrapbook' papers, so she used wrapping papers, felt, remnant fabrics and trims, etc. They all came out great!
I would go to your local bead and jewelery store and buy some nice glass beads (glass beads are beautiful and inexpensive!) using school colors (or varying colors in the same color family) some jewelery wire or sting and clasps. You could make necklaces or bracelets! This is an inexpensive gift and girls love, love, love jewelry. If you make the jewelry look classy and unique it might be something the girls will always keep. It would make a found memory to commemorate their time at school and on the squad! Good luck.
