As the school year winds down, it’s time to start thinking about how to show our appreciation for the teachers who have worked tirelessly to educate and inspire our children.
Simple Gift Card DIY
My favourite thing to gift to teachers is gift cards, and I love finding creative and thoughtful ways to display them. One thing I've done in the past (which our teachers have really loved!) is asking the kids to describe their teacher in 3 (or more) words). I then place one gift card in each envelope, write one of the words on the front, and attach the cards to a plant.
You can watch a quick clip of how I put this together here. It's thoughtful and looks really cute too!
If DIYs aren't your thing, we've curated a selection of unique and thoughtful items from The TKL Shop that are sure to bring a smile to any teacher's face. Here are some of our top picks to help you say "thank you" in the most delightful way.
Pencil Set - Old School Swear Words
Pens are great, but sometimes we need a little leeway. Get your first draft off on the "write" foot with this premium "Old School Swear Words" pencil set! This set of six No. 2 graphite wood pencils includes four hex and two carpenter styles, perfect for bringing a bit of humour and nostalgia to the classroom or home office.
Scissors
Take a snip down memory lane with our vintage-style cheeky scissors - the engraved words "Shear Genius" and just the cutest! These chic shears are the treasure of all office supplies and definitely don’t belong hidden in a junk drawer. With glossy taupe handles and durable stainless steel blades, these scissors are a cut above the competition and designed to whimsy up any workspace.
Shower Steamers
Whether you are just starting or winding down your day, boost your mind and body with an aromatic spa experience unlike any other! Our shower steamers are a quick, convenient, and blissful way to add some aroma to your shower routine without compromising the air you breathe. Just pop, drop, and fizz! Each tube contains six shower steamer tablets, with each tablet lasting approximately two showers. This gift is perfect for helping teachers relax and rejuvenate after a long school year.
Pocket Tape Measure
Small but mighty, this Pocket Tape Measure helps you get the job done in style. Take this handy, lightweight measuring tape anywhere you go in its stylish case. Easily pull the vegan leather tab to measure and smoothly retract with a press of a button. This is a practical yet chic gift for any teacher who appreciates functional design.
Wooden Heart Candle
Poured in mango wood vessels, our Wooden Heart Candles make beautiful gifts for friends or loved ones. Their Eucalyptus & Amber fragrance features balsamic juniper blends with emerald cypress and peppered sage for a fresh take on a classic woodsy scent. These candles are a charming and aromatic way to say thank you.
Like I said earlier, gift cards are typically my go-to, so the teacher can treat herself after a year of hard work!
