Assemble a “School’s Out!” Teacher Gift Bag

A special thank you to Family Christian for sponsoring today’s conversation on ideas to Assemble a “School’s Out!” Teacher Gift Bag. All opinions and ideas are my own.

 

National Teacher Day is 5/5/15. If you follow my blog on a regular basis, then you know that I try to show teacher appreciation throughout the year, but I have many friends who use National Teacher Day as a primary time to give their child’s teacher extra special tokens and gifts. I’ve been chatting with a few teacher friends of mine, and they gave me a few ideas of things that they always liked receiving when they were teaching. Kids aren’t the only ones who are excited that school is out! I am sure that teachers are ready for a break, as well. Here are a few ideas of how to assemble a “School’s Out!” gift bag for teachers.

Of course, I realize that everyone’s budget is different. If you have to purchase for several teachers, then you may only be able to afford a small idea. But, hopefully, something on this list will serve as an inspiration for you.

1. A reusable bag– Instead of sending a gift in a traditional bag, grab a reusable gift bag. Place the gift inside, and then the teacher has a bag that he or she can use all summer long.

2. A nice water bottle– Keep your teacher hydrated throughout his or her summer adventures!

3. A note pad with pen– Note pads are always handy, whether your teacher is in the classroom or at home.

4. Lotions or soaps– I like that Family Christian sells lotions and soaps with inspirational sayings and Bible verses.

5. A good book– Grab a good book from the bookstore. Books are nice for beach vacations or relaxing on the porch.

6. Something for the garden– There’s lots of possibilities here. A garden stone or sun catcher is ideal for teachers who may not be into gardening, while a flower pot or gardening tools may be good for the teacher who enjoys lots of time with the flowers.

7. Beach goodies– Think a towel, flip flops, or anything else that a teacher would enjoy taking to the beach!
