Really cute teacher gift idea!

15 years ago

Saw this on a blog and just had to send all of you to see it. I'm sure teachers get so many gifts--is this something any of you would have liked? I've been told that the favorite teacher gift is a "gift card". Luvs

    That should be a terrific teacher gift! Next to gift cards, LOL. But seriously, this is a wonderful idea I think.

    That is cute! It would be nice along the window sill in the classroom. I had plants for years there, used to make cuttings for the kids in milk containers..Then we weren't allowed to have them anymore due to the fact that there is mold in the dirt! So many rules!
    And yes, Karen, those gift cards are wonderful..one size fits all!

    Kathleen, isn't it funny that things that were done for years and years, and all of us survived it, suddenly were not allowed anymore? I know at the banks where I worked, we used to serve iced tea and coffee along with cookies on Fridays in our lobby--then they said we couldn't do that anymore unless the cookies were purchased in individually wrapped packaging. (We always bought them at Costco.)

    These would be nice for the teacher to take home anyway--or you could fill it with lotions and such instead of a plant. ;o)

    Karen, I think they would be cute for gifts for my friends/neighbors too, don't you? Actually could decorate them for any occassion I think. I like finding cute easy ideas.

    That is a cute idea! I agree that some schools and other workplaces, can make it so hard these days to add personal warmth to a classroom or office.
    Because so many of my close friends are teachers, I heard early on to avoid anything that says "teacher" on it. My bestfriend had a large box filled with "teacher" ornaments, mugs, suncatchers, etc. Gift cards are much appreciated, though. A heartfelt letter is another special, treasured gift.
    Along those lines, my friend who's a grade school counselor joked one day years ago, that while teachers are always remembered, she'd only gotten two gifts her entire career. After that, I've always made sure that I gave our own school counselor and my DD's bus driver a small gift at Christmas and at the end of the school year.

    When I retired I donated 100 mugs and other teacher related things..! The thrift shop said it would take them 10 yrs to get rid of it. I also left a box of mugs in the Faculty room for new teachers and those who broke their mugs.
    Luvs, it would be a cute hostess gift, planted with some herbs would be nice too! I am not a fan of indoor plants..I have 2, and that's my limit.
    In school though, I had tons of them! Good to teach the unit on plants!
    Lynn, I always made sure to remember all the teachers, music, art, etc as well as the school nurse.
    Something small but useful, and nothing with # 1 teacher on it..:)
