Favorite Things – Teacher Appreciation Edition
My favorite gifts to give others are the things that I love to use myself. I know that they’re great products, and I’m happy to introduce someone else to something that has enriched my own life in some way. As I’m thinking about Teacher Appreciation Day and end of the school year gifts, these are the types of items I always consider first. Here’s what’s on my list this year (all light purple of course, because that’s my favorite color – but most of these are available in other colors so you can pick the best choice for your recipient). All links are affiliates. Papermate Flair Pens – These will…

Best Gifts for Teachers 2023
I’ve got one more gift guide for you this week! When it comes to putting these together, the teacher gift guide is always the most challenging. What you choose to give your child’s teacher has a lot to do with your relationship with them – which can mean that there are a ton of different variables at play. I also find it really important to share ideas that don’t look like every other list on the internet (do you know how many teacher gift lists there are that list gift cards, scented candles, and hand soap???? – Too many). Here are the items that the teachers I know would absolutely…

My Preschool Memories
Teacher appreciation week seems like the perfect time to share what I actually remember from my own preschool experience. First off, I remember both of my preschool teachers and I remember how much I loved them! The rest of my memories are very random – which makes sense as they were probably the things that were most important to 3 and 4 year old me. I remember that one of my teachers loved turtles and she had a turtle puppet that she would use to tell us stories. I remember that when there were thunderstorms, one of my teachers would tell us that God was dropping things (it was a…

Quick Teacher Appreciation Gifts
For the first time ever I get to share what I put together for my daughter’s teachers. How cute are these?! For the bouquets, my little one did some finger painting and then I cut the paintings into hearts using my Cricut. I attached all of the hearts into the flower shape using glue dots, and then I stuck them on a green straw. The books are copies of the Classroom Recipe Book that I put together when I was teaching toddlers. I was constantly looking u the same recipes on my phone and I was sick of searching for them over and over, so I complied them all into…

Today’s freebie is a great project that you can file away for next year’s celebration. This Teacher Appreciation Week Puzzle from Teaching in the Tongass encourages each child to think about what they love about their teachers, while working together to create a beautiful mural that the entire school can enjoy.

Quick, Easy Teacher Gift
Do you still need a quick gift for a teacher in your life? Whether you’re looking for a great idea for a co-worker, or your own child’s teacher, I’ve got you covered. I just made these brand new watercolor note cards, and they’re editable so you can add your favorite teacher’s name in a fun font for an easy personalized gift. If you want to add a little more, tie the note cards in a ribbon and slip in a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card for a treat that any teacher is sure to appreciate (and actually use!).

Teacher Appreciation Week – Don’t Forget about Yourself!
I’m all for celebrating other teachers (and fully believe that we need to make time to do this more than once a year) but I also know that no one knows you better than you know yourself – So this year, I’m encouraging you to celebrate all of your own hard work! Take a little time to pamper yourself or indulge in a special treat. You certainly deserve it, and let’s be honest, some of my favorite gifts are things that I’ve bought for myself! Whether you feel like making an investment in something you really want, or you’re looking to be a little more frugal, here are some of…
