Looking for ideas for great teacher gifts? Here are some clever and cute ones, but according to our Facebook friends, most of all, teachers love to receive gift cards and heartfelt notes from students. As one teacher put it,"It's knowing how I reached [the students] that lasted."
Here are some fun ideas for thoughtful teacher gifts we found on Pinterest:
Summer Relaxation Kit
Package magazines, sunscreen, and beach towels in a fun tote with a note, "Welcome to summer!"
Just Add Ice Cream
Make a box with cones, sprinkles, candies, and a note with "Just add ice cream!"
Thank You for Helping Us Become Sharpies and Smarties
Fill a jar with Smarties candies and tie Sharpie pens to the top with ribbon.
Decoupage Pot
Let every child in the class contribute something to decorate the pot, include a flower and "Thanks for helping us bloom!"
Flower Bouquet
Add to a vase of flowers the following touches: magnetic letters, a vintage book, and an apple.
Notes in a Jar
Collect a personal note from every child in the class and put them all in a decorated jar.
