I have something to share with you.

Every December and every May I start thinking about appreciation gifts for our teachers. Even though we give money towards a “teacher fund” through the school, we like giving our teachers a little extra something to say Thank You for being so great.

I asked some friends for their favorite teacher gifts and included a link to some of my favorites from Pinterest.

Michelle from Atlanta:  I watch the Today show for the Steals and Deals segment with Jill Martin and look for gift sets that I can break up into smaller gifts.  Last year I found a Bliss Spa set with 8 items and gave a lotion and a body wash to four different people!

Marilyn from Dallas:  I order personalized stationary for the teachers so they always have a pad handy with their name on it!

Dalina from Santa Barbara:  I think gift cards are the best!!!  Our teachers can get a massage or facial, Starbucks or a great meal at a local restaurant.  Sometimes we do a piece of jewelry-  a bracelet or necklace…. something fun and different!

Michelle from Dallas:  My favorite gifts for our teachers are coffee mugs with Starbucks gift cards and personalized tote or makeup bags from Swoozies!

Other Ideas:
