It's that time of the year! What to get for the person you entrust the care and education of your children to! Hope this article gives you some ideas!
Christmas is a wonderful time to show your child’s teacher how much you appreciate the time she spends with your child every day. As you shop for that special gift keep in mind that teachers receive mugs, notepads, apple paper weights and other teacher trinkets every year. It is helpful if you learn a little about your child’s teacher through the year.
Take notice if you see her drink coffee, has a favorite color or has a favorite sports team. The gift does not have to be expensive. She will appreciate the thought. Here is a list of gift ideas that teachers will appreciate and use.
- Gift cards - coffee, restaurants, book stores, teacher supply stores, department stores,
- Supplies for the classroom - games, balls, puzzles, small basket filled with pens and sticky notes
- Personalized gifts - Lotions, soft fleece throw, her favorite candy, stationary, journal
- Homemade gifts - candy, cookies, breads including recipe
- Tote - A tote that she can use for school, church or travel
- Gifts for her Home - holiday dish towels, candles
- Recipes in a jar - dry ingredients for cookies, brownies, hot cocoa mix
Buying a gift for your child’s teacher can be stressful, as you want to get them something they want and something unique. I hope this list helps stir up some ideas in your mind. Whatever you come up with, your child’s teacher will appreciate and love the gift she receives.
