Back to School Gift Guide
For the teachers, coaches, and sitters who get your kids through the year — and for the household starting the routine over. One Boodle, 9 local businesses to choose from. Delivered by email.
There are two lists this time of year — the crew who gets your kids through the year, and the household gearing up for a new one. A Boodle covers both.
Teachers, coaches, tutors, bus drivers, sitters, daycare staff — a local card they can spend on themselves.
9 local businesses — coffee, lunch, books, supplies, a treat. Their pick, not your guess.
Delivered by email. Dollars go straight to local Van Wert businesses.
These Van Wert businesses accept the Boodle Card — whether you're thanking a teacher or restocking your own school year.
For the week nobody has the energy to cook, and for the coach who stayed late. Van Wert’s kitchens, their pick.
