Things You'll Need

• Here are some tips on how you can choose the perfect gift for you teacher:

Instructions

1. Select something that the teacher can use in her classroom. Many teachers spend a lot of their own money on school supplies and other items, so help her out by purchasing some of these things yourself. For example, choose books for the classroom's reading nook or craft supplies for art activities. Alternatively, give her a gift card to a store where she can choose what she wants.

2. Choose a relaxing gift for the teacher. Teaching can be a stressful job, so put together a gift basket that can help him unwind. Fill a basket with coffee or tea supplies and a few good books. A gift card to a local spa or a nice restaurant is another good option.

3. Help your child make a gift for the teacher. This is something that she will likely find meaningful. For example, let your child make a card or write a letter thanking the teacher for everything she has done. Include the card or letter with a batch of homemade cookies or brownies.
