TEACHERS (GIFTS) COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES

Chuck the apples (with and without worms), rulers and blackboards marked “A+” when selecting gifts for your child’s teachers. Imagine how many of these a seasoned teacher has received over the years!

Instead, think “out of the classroom” and the great gift ideas are endless. For women, teachers of any age like to be in style. If you happen to know her well, zero in on something that matches an outfit you saw her in or that reminds you of her personality—earrings, bracelets, or chunky necklaces for summer accessorizing.

If you feel jewelry is too “personal”, almost everyone enjoys a blissfully scented candle, triple milled soap or other aromatherapy item because pampering items are not usually purchased for oneself. So, for $25 and less, you can make her feel relaxed and appreciated.

Got a guy teacher? You know he’s going to be flooded with gift cards from Starbucks and Barnes and Nobles, which will be spent and forgotten. Think “unique and useful” somthing he will enjoy using and remind him of his year with your child. May we suggest conversational desk organizers like our twin Buddhas letter holder, photo paperweights and multi function keyrings—or well designed travel items (teachers go places on all their breaks and summer holidays). Again, there is lots to choose from in that $25 range.

Finally, don’t forget the final touch…. a card with short handwritten note of appreciation from you and your child.
