“A great teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, and touches a heart.”

The end of the school year is almost here!! Do you have your summer plans in place? Taking a great vacation? Checking out some summer camps? Just checking out in general to get away from the structure of the school year?

And most importantly…have you bought your teacher gift?!

These sweet people have had our children for nine out of the twelve months of the year….that’s like being pregnant with multiple babies that constantly need your help and individual attention….all. the. time!!!

So, let’s let them know how much we have appreciated the school year and how much we celebrate each and every one of our teachers!

swoozies

One of my favorite places to shop for a special gift is Swoozies! It literally has all price points, and you can always find something that a person doesn’t necessarily need, but it is fun and whimsical and nothing they would buy themselves! These are some of my favorites!

 

Instacart membership

When a teacher has spent his or her entire week with our children, they deserve to be able to decompress and not have to go run around and grab groceries! A great idea would be to give the gift of grocery delivery so that they can head home and relax while someone else does the shopping! Heaven only knows how much I love mine, and it is a great group gift to share with other families! And as long as your deliveries are over $35, they are unlimited!

stitch fix gift card

The end of school marks the beginning of summer. The season change is perfect for a wardrobe refresh! And did you know that Stitch Fix offers both Womens and Mens?! You choose your budget, fill out a style profile, and the stylist takes care of everything else! It is a gift that keeps giving because now you can sign up for a one time annual styling fee! You can get as many Fixes in a year as you would like, and you only pay for the styling fee one time! That is a great gift to a teacher! Then they can choose the budget where they are comfortable!

Gift cards…Duh!

Well, duh! Everyone loves being able to shop guilt-free! And what I love about a gift card is that you can use it in store or online! Some people prefer to see, touch, and feel, while others prefer to shop at their convenience…aka with a glass of wine in their jammies!

Nordstrom has a promotion going on right now that is for Mother’s Day…buy $150 worth of e gift cards and receive a free $20 gift card for yourself! You don’t have to puchase a $150 single gift card. You could purchase several smaller increments and give those out as teacher gifts….or use this as a class gift and collect money towards it! I won’t tell if you keep the $20 gift card for yourself!! :):):) Click on the Nordstrom card to purchase this one!

 

 

Summer grab bag

It is always fun to head into vacay mode with the cutest accessories! Treat your teacher to this amazing summer inspired swag!

library donation

Books are knowledge. And knowledge isn’t limited to economics. All educators share a love of learning and sharing knowledge! What better way to honor that love than to donate a book to the library in their name! Again, this is a great group idea to grab a collection of books that are age appropriate for the age level your teacher represents!

personalized stationery

There is always a place and time where this comes in handy…for any teacher…at any time! This is a timeless gift! It can be fun and cutesy or classic and clean! Be sure to think about what he or she would most prefer before making your choice!

 

 

a little pampering

 

a little bling…a little personalized…a little bit of fun

I mean….who doesn’t love a little bling?! …or just a great accessory??

and a few add on ideas…

Lottery Tickets – “I won the lottery with you as my teacher!”
Jar of cookies – “Your crumbs of knowledge made learning a treat!”
Flowers – “You helped me blossom this year!”
Mini potted herbs – “Thank you for your Thyme!”

 

Thank you to all of our wonderful teachers!
