One idea I have is giving teachers card from our children ð¶
P.s love your videos ððâºï¸âï¸ï¸
I've given Target gift cards in the past and/or something homemade. I love the Redbox gift card idea! I think I'll do that with some of my kids specialized teachers. Thanks! #IGStoryFam
I don't have any kids in school yet but I like the amazon gift card idea #igstoryfam
When I taught I loved it when I got gift cards or something really personal- like the kids knew I loved owls or books and they would draw a picture of something like that. #igstoryfam
My kids aren't in school yet but I like the gift cards idea. I don't like the idea of giving clutter or things they won't actually use #igstoryfam
#igstoryfam love these ideas!
I haven't had to do teacher gifts yet since we don't have kids yet, but when I taught swim lessons and singing groups getting a gift was always so nice! I think the best teacher gifts are something that show you know the teacher well. So find out what the teacher loves: candy, food, color, etc. as a teacher I always loved getting snacks/candy. And putting a cute little printable with them makes it cuter. And ya like you said, gift cards are always soooo nice! Great ideas Melea! #igstoryfam
As a teacher, I love love love handwritten notes. Gift cards with cute handmade "packaging" never fails!! And we ALWAYS need more supplies. Don't stress out over it though. We are always just glad to be thanked.
I just did really cute water bottle of the teachers favorite colors and filled them with candy and nail polish and eos and some other stuff. they loved it. #igstoryfam
I just saw today someone gave there teacher a flower plant that they can plant in their flower garden. They wrapped the pot section in brown paper wrap and put a cute twine bow around it. It was super cute and the teacher with have it forever in their garden. #IGstoryfam

I'm a middle school English teacher, and I can't thank you enough for pointing out how much some (can't say all) teachers ARE there for your kids. I'm a big sister, aunt, mom, mentor, counselor…you name it, to so many of my students. I know they appreciate it, but to hear that parents notice that too means the world! THATS the best gift: appreciation ððð
I like to splurge and get teachers a little gift bag from Great Harvest. #igstoryfam
I don't have kids, but I used to be a teacher! These are great ideas! #IGstoryfam
#igstoryfam My baby isn't in school yet but I love the idea of giving gift cards! ð
I'm a preschool teacher and gift cards are always nice. But I always love and remember the handwritten letters. #igstoryfam
This couldn't have come at a better time. My kids finish this week and I've been thinking about what to do for the teachers. love all the ideas. #igstoryfam
I've done all of these for my kid's teacher's. I think it's important to let them know you appreciate what they do! I always make sure it is something useful and/or heartfelt #IGStoryfam
#igstoryfam. melea I'm writing this igstoryfan and I've watched your stories but I'm still not familiar too well with Instagram so I'm still a little confused. however hopefully I'm entered into your drawing. not sure about the second one. I think I might be brave and do the school supplies cake for one of my kids teachers. in the past I usually buy my teachers Bath & Body Works Christmas totes and save them and stuff them with candle, hand and body soap, body spray, lotion, and a card sometimes with or without a gift card. Sometimes I just give gift cards with a card most of the time It's a homemade card from the child.
flowers and a card. #igstoryfam
I generally do gift cards because it's easiest for me and I always worry about getting something the teacher doesn't like or has too much of. I've done movie theater passes (hubby gets a discount at work), Cold Stone (discount at Sam's Club), and Starbucks. #igstoryfam
I am getting my daughter's teacher a gift card. For her speech teachers I got starbursts (she is working on the "s" sound) with thank you cards from both of us. #IGstoryfam
I love giving my kids' teachers gifts to pamper themselves: lotion, bubble bath, fingernail polish, or a gift card for a pedicure. #igstoryfam
I like giving a Redbox card! cheap and easy! #IGstoryfam
I love all of the ideas. Last year I just did a gift card to my favorite soda place. Who doesn't love a soda and a cookie? #IGStoryFam
When I was in school I never thought of a end of the year gift nor did that cross my parents mind. Now that I have a child that will definitely happen. Teachers are great human beings.
Bought a loaf of yummy bread (think Great Harvest) & printed a card that said "We ain't LOAFING around when we say Thank You!"
#igstoryfam
I do a good gift card with their favorite drink and candy for teacher appreciation . Considering that was just a bit ago , I don't understand another gift for end of year. I'm new to this since I have a kindergarten kid. I thought teacher appreciation week was when they should get gifts. Am I missing something?
I did the movie idea of my son's buddy/teacher at preschool. She's a high school senior, and I get the impression she doesn't have a lot of money, so I did some of the dollar boxes of candy and a movie theater gift card and printable that said she deserved a Time Out. We also threw in a necklace of a small heart because my son loved her so much. I've done Applebee's gift cards before, like a twist on apple for the teacher. My daughter's teacher will be getting a heart necklace as well(Jane had them for like $4 each) and a #teacherlife shirt, and maybe a Starbucks card since the shirts says something about coffee. I've done nail polish with candy in a cup and a tag that said 'mani' thanks. #igstoryfam
I always love to give gift cards…. easy and they can get what they wantð#igstoryfam
One year I made cookies and put them in a cute jar with a tag that said "I'm smart as a cookie because of you!" â¤ï¸ðª #igstoryfam
I'm super lame and usually just do gift cards to Swig or the movies! #igstoryfam
My daughter isn't in school yet but my auntie would have he teachers answer some questions about themselves for her and for I to know and when it is they're birthdays or the end of the school year we would know they're favorites.
We would usually do a candy apple of they're favorite candy. And then it really depends on the teachers likes
#igstoryfam
I wait until necklaces and charms are 40% off at Hobby Lobby then I let my kids choose a charm for a necklace #igstoryfam
I love the gift card idea. Easy, pleases everyone, etc. #igstoryfam
I do gift cards and school supplies. #igstoryfam
I love giving gift cards. My sister, who teaches, said they appreciate them so much!! #igstoryfam
well my little girl isn't in school! but I love the gift card idea especially one for like Starbucks and also giving school supplies!!!! #IGstoryfam
As a teacher I can honestly say that some of the handwritten notes were the most meaningful. I love the redbox gift card idea! #igstoryfam
My daughter is about to start preschool this year. But I think the most useful idea is gift cards. I especially love the little cute "movie basket" with some snacks and a movie gift card. So the teacher can have a day off and enjoy a movie with a friendðð»ð #IGSTORYFAM
The notification didn't come off this time for some reasonð«
Target is a great idea, And know that teachers like having gift cards that they will actually use. #igstoryfam
candles that have Rubin wrapped around them with a little card that says thanks
My sons teacher is moving right after school is out, to a different state. We got her gift cards to help with her move. We also get yummy treats from a specialty boutique, they have the best Carmel apples that I usually get them. #igstoryfam
My son's teacher was absolutely amazing so I got her a Pandora apple charm and thank you card. I also had my son write her a thank you. I got a hallmark ornament at Christmas time as well. #igstoryfam
I like to do the practical gifts they will actually use. Hand sanitizer, hand soap, school supplies etc. #igstoryfam
A fun gift to give a teacher is a gift card to a nail salon! Let them pamper themselves! #igstoryfam
#igstoryfam
I love stocking up on bath and body works soaps, gift cards and hand written notes.
As a teacher I received a simple Sonic Gift card (I don't drink Starbucks). #igstoryfam
