Pair this gift tag with your favorite lip balm.

Fill an insulated to-go cup with drink packets or iced tea packets and attach this printable tag with some coordinating ribbon.

My sons teacher is expecting her first child this summer, would a baby geared thank you be appropriate for teacher appreciation gift or should we make that separate?
If it were me, I would love a baby geared gift!! It’s such an exciting time when you’re anticipating your first child 👶🏼
I think you could do either. If you really like the teacher I’d do a teacher gift and baby gift.
I’m a kindergarten teacher currently expecting and I love the idea of getting her something baby themed!
Thank you all for your feedback, she is an amazing teacher I think I’ll try to do a little something for her and baby
When I was pregnant I had a lovely shower put on by my students and parents at school. However, the best thing I received was, in lieu of cards, they requested board books where students wrote on a little nameplate. My daughter’s library was started by favorites of my “other” children. It was really special.
Perfect! Thanks for so many options.
I got boxes of chocolates ( Easter clearance but the good kind) but in the back of my head I hear my sister saying “just give us the giftcard” Hahahaha.
I love the movie and mani ideas!!
Thanks Mellisa!
Any ideas for a teaching getting married?
Anyone have suggestions for a tutor? My child wouldn’t have passed this year without a tutor so I was wondering if I should give her an end-of-the-school-year gift.
Thank you! I printed “You are the balm”..great and inexpensive, useful idea!
Thanks you!!!
Our teacher loved these gift ideas and #1 teacher certificate! We did a different one every day! Thank you so much for sharing these creative ideas and making it so easy for the parents!!
All of these ideas are so amazing. Its tough to pick which one to use. Thank you for sharing!!
Also would love to know about a teacher getting married. Should we ask the whole class to do something sweet for her?
