End-of-the-Year Teacher Gift Ideas
Teachers do so much for the children in their class day in and day out. What better way to say thank you than with a thoughtful gift? As a former teacher, I can attest to how much gifts from my students and their caregivers made me feel special and that my work was noticed and appreciated.
From my personal teaching experience, a drink tumbler was always the number one item I brought with me every day to work. A drink tumbler would be a perfect gift because it can be used any time of the year. You can make it themed to the fun of summer with a sparkling water, a gift card, bright colorful nail polish, and tied with a fun ribbon.
