Don't our teachers need some recognition and feedback for a
job well done? Don't they mean a lot to the success of our
children's present and future? Then let's show our
appreciation for our teachers and tell them just how
important they are to society. Why wait until an important
holiday to give them a gift, let's do it now! Let's just
think of some unique occasions to take them some presents.
There are many gifts that will bring big smiles, and
nothing to out-of-this world, let's keep them economical,
but something they'll like too.
What are some fun and unique presents to take to teachers
that don't require much money?
Anything homemade will be much appreciated. Whenever it's
"the thought that counts", homemade gifts do the job. They
say, "We care about you, you are important, so important we
invested our most valuable resource, time, to make you
something to express our appreciation for you and what
you've done."
So what kinds of homemade gifts can I make with my children
to take to their teachers?
Crafts will last a long time and the teacher can adorn his
or her desk with them to remind themselves that she's loved
and doing a good job. Craft-making is fun and a wonderful
way to spend quality time with your kids. However, since I
don't make a lot of crafts myself my other suggestion for
great teacher gifts are decadent desserts. Craft-making and
creating desserts are similar, except desserts taste
better! They are easy to create and don't take much money
to make. You should already have many necessary supplies
with which to make the dessert gifts, if not all of them.
You just need to purchase the ingredients. Deluxe sweets
and candy gifts make for tasty treats and are beautiful in
presentation so your child's teacher will get a triple
effect of satisfaction: the surprise of receiving the gift,
enjoying the attractive presentation of the dessert and
finally the pleasure of the treat tantalizing his/her taste
buds.
Some desserts that taste great, are easy to make and can be
made many different ways are cookies or cupcakes. Cupcakes
can be more elaborate than the normal, boring chocolate or
vanilla. There are some "upgraded" kinds of chocolate and
also a variety of other cupcake flavors. Chocolate covered
treats are also easy to make from strawberries, cherries to
even coffee beans, but by far the most attractive are
chocolate covered apples that can be sprinkled with all
different kinds of toppings and mixed and matched with
white and dark chocolate as well as caramel. You and your
child will have a great time making these desserts
together, but the best time you'll have is when you see his
or her teacher smile from ear-to-ear from the joy of seeing
how much he/she is appreciated.
So when would be a great time to take teachers presents?
Just be creative, spontaneous gifts are always well
received because the element of surprise is very effective,
however, there are some unique instances to make up some
great excuses or reasons to give gifts for our teachers.
10 Occasions for Teacher Gifts
1.Long Weekend: Right before a weekend with a minor holiday
attached to it, you could include a "gift message" that
says something to the effect of, "It took my mommy and I a
long time to make these yummy cookies, I hope they last a
long time until we have classes again. Thank you Mrs.
Gibson for helping me achieve high grades."
2.The Start of a Holiday Month: During a month that has a
popular holiday in your country built around a distinct
theme, for example, Thanksgiving in the US, or Halloween.
Take Mrs. Jones some Halloween cupcakes with a message
like, "Trick or Treat Mrs. Jones! OK, no trick this time,
just treat. I know it's not yet the 31st, but I couldn't
wait until then to bring you something good to eat. My
mommy and I made these for you. Thanks for everything
you've done. Hope you enjoy eating them as much as I loved
making you them."
3. Good Grade (Mark) on Exam: To celebrate your child doing
well on a test take the teacher a gift with a message
similar to, "Thank you Mr. King for everything you do to
help my son Timmy and all the other kids. He really admires
you and respects you. We thought we'd celebrate his good
test results and show you how much we appreciate you. Hope
this Chocolate Cookie Cake gets an "A" too, at least for
effort!"
4. Milestone Year at Same School: Whether it's Mrs.
Carter's 5th year at the same school or Mr. Thomas' 20th,
show you're paying attention to their accomplishments.
5. Milestone Year as a Teacher: Maybe Mr. Peters has taught
for many years at different schools. You could find out by
simply asking him and then later deliver the gift to
congratulate him for his great contribution.
6. For Hometown Team Winning a Championship: Everyone in
the city will celebrate, but use this unique opportunity to
thank him/her for the extra hours after classes they
invested in helping your child with personal attention.
7.Change of Seasons: Teachers love to decorate their room
for the change of season. Whether it's about to snow, the
leaves are starting to change colors, the temperature is
getting warmer or the rain is coming to soothe the long
drought, use this time as an excuse to bring the teacher a
gift to rejoice in the new weather ahead.
8.After Important Class Project Finishes: The big sigh of
relief, no more agonizing over researching or creating, the
project is over and everyone can relax. Congratulate him or
her on finishing the race.
9.Get Well: If Mr. Robinson was away for a while getting
better from an injury or illness. A heart-felt gift is
probably the exact medicine to help him to get better.
10.Teacher Appreciation Day: Many countries have one and
they're on different dates.
Enjoy making our teachers across the globe feel special!

It's true - a gift is more memorable when given on a non-holiday or event.
