Works for Me – Teacher Gifts

Filed under Read These!
I just finished my gift baskets for teachers, and I thought I’d share what I gave this year. These are super easy and inexpensive, and show a lot of appreciation to those who impact your kids.
I got the mug and basket at the Dollar Tree. You can give it just like this, or wrap it in Shrink-wrap, available at any craft store or Walmart.
In this Winter Warm-up Basket, I included:
- Easy Sourdough Bread. I promise I’ll post the recipe on Friday! You can substitute banana or pumpkin bread, or fresh fruit.
- Cake in a Cup, or you could substitute Friendship Soup Mix
- Coffee or Gourmet Hot Chocolate.
- Hersheys Whole Bean Chocolate. Ferrero Rochet or truffles are also a great addition.
What do you give your children’s teachers?
I am new to this as a giver. I used to teach school and got all kinds of things. My son is in preschool this year and so I am not sure what to give. I am seriously leaning towards a prayer journal. My mom sells them in her store and I can get it cheap:) I have one and love it!

This year I’m giving a bag of fudge and a $10 Starbucks gift card enclosed in a nice note.
I’m doing this for every school teacher (there are 3) and every Sunday School teacher (there are 6!!). And I’m doing fudge and a $10 Blockbuster gift card to the bus driver.

Very nice! Anyone would be happy to receive a basket like that. We are giving a Christmas ornament to DS’s teacher.

What a great idea! This year, the teachers will be getting handmade ornaments.

oooooohhhh… like the new blog look ;o)
OK, I’m not as generous as you. I bought a wire whisk, filled it w/ Hershey’s kissed, wrapped w/ tissue. Added a tag “We WHISK you a Merry KISSmas!

New to your blog. I am enjoying the read and interested in the Carnival. Is that still going or will it go on again?
Just started my own Mother/Daughter blog that will focus on kids/daughters and other stuff pertaining to women and children.
Looking forward to reading more

What a wonderful thing to do for the teachers–they’re just beautiful!

Very nice! My daughter is too young for teachers but I have good friends who are teachers–they say their favorite gifts are homemade food and gift cards!
