At the end of the year, it’s always great to reward your child’s teacher with a nice gift. After all, they spent a lot of time and effort educating your child, and giving a gift is a very nice way to show your thanks. All teachers love receiving gifts, no matter what it is, because it makes them feel appreciated as they should be. Most often, those gifts tend to be chocolate, flowers, or even cash and gift cards. While those are all great and welcomed gifts, they don’t have any lasting impression; you should want to give your child’s teacher a gift that will let that teacher remember your child. If you’re having trouble deciding what to gift to your child’s teacher, check out these creative suggestions that he or she will absolutely love.
Mug and Coffee
It’s a known fact that teachers, especially of younger children, drink a lot of coffee. A great gift for your child’s teacher is a personalized mug, like the mugs offered from Minespress.com. You can personalize that mug with your child’s name, the teacher’s name, the year, and even a short message or poem written by your child to show appreciation to his or her teacher. This teacher will think of your child every time he or she uses the these coffee mugs, making it an extra special gift. In addition to the personalized mug, buy some nice coffee to include with the personalized mug. This teacher will appreciate the nice coffee, as it’ll be a great break from the staff lounge Folgers.
Homemade Vase
While flowers are sort of a generic gift for teachers, including a beautiful handcrafted vase to put those flowers in makes a gift of flowers truly special and memorable. Have your child paint a vase from a paint your own pottery store, and give that vase to his or her teacher filled with beautiful flowers. There’s no doubt that the teacher will love it. If you’re feeling especially creative, make your own vase from scratch. This vase made of coloured pencils is a perfect gift for a teacher, and the teacher will no doubt always cherish that beautiful gift.
Apron
If one of the reasons that your child loved his or her teacher was because of all the arts and crafts in class, a painted apron would make a fantastic gift that the teacher will remember your child by. Make an apron with your child’s handprints, and have them paint around it to create an inexpensive, memorable gift that the teacher will love. You can pick up a blank apron at many different stores, along with stencils and sponges that can make the apron more unique.
Potted Plant
A potted plant that can sit on the teacher’s desk is a great gift that your child can give, especially if your child hand paints the pot. It will look great sitting on the teacher’s desk, and the teacher will think back to your child every time that he or she waters it. Make sure you choose a plant that doesn’t require a lot of attention, like a succulent, because teachers are very busy people and might forget to water it occasionally!
Do you give gifts to your favourite teacher? I am a bit lazy when it comes to this. Bad me.
