Any ideas for end of the year teacher gifts?
 
Teacher GiftI would give the ice cream dipper and hang a little ribbon around with a card attached saying "Thank you for teaching my child the scoop!"
There are some other neat ideas elsewhere in this forum that have cute sayings too. Good Luck in deciding. Lori
 
A whisk with a ribbon around it and filled with kisses looks really great. You could attach a card that says "thanks for whipping us into shape".

Also, if he/she is a tea drinker a our good company tea with an inexpensive coffee cup would be nice.

Anybody else have any suggestions?

Teacher GiftI can't think of a "cute" saying to go along with it, off the top of my head, but the apple wedger seams like an obvious good gift for a teacher. :)

"thanks for giving us the (w)edge" ?? :rolleyes:
 
pizza cutter or Creative Cutters - "For a teacher who is a cut above the rest"
Season's Best - "For one of the best"
Adjustable measuring spoons - "For a teacher who really measures up"
 
Ok...I am a teacher and would love any of those ideas. What I am giving my teachers comes from the website. It is the Quick-Stir pitcher with the coffee at the bottom (under the stirring part) and a bag of cookies on top. On the handle of the pitcher that is sticking up, you put a bow. It is on the consultants corner under inspirations. LOVE IT!

If you are looking for something less expensive, you can just give them a home made gift certificate and a catalog. They almost ALWAYS order more than the gift certificate.

Okay, I just revised it using products that we came out with this summer and deleted discontinued stuff! Enjoy! I am really excited to use this. I am going to put it on my website because I am having a school fundraiser on Monday! Might help a little in sales!

Looks like they took it off the website. Now they have a basket for bridal showers and other bridal ideas.

I'll see if I saved it on my computer at home. I know I printed it out, but that won't help.
 
Season Inspiration ~ Quick-StirI tried to upload the doc but it is too large. Email me and I'll send it to you!
 
Thanks for those 41 Teacher Gift ideas...they are AWESOME and really creative! THANKS!
