Gifting Options
- If gifting an experience, choose a gift card (e.g., spa, movie, restaurant) and pair it with a small, related item.
- For practical classroom supplies, select quality versions of items teachers often need, like pens, sticky notes, or a planner.
- If crafty, consider homemade items like artisanal cookies, preserves, a potted plant, or a hand-sewn tote bag; ensure food safety and consider allergies.

- Assemble and present the items beautifully in an attractive basket, decorative box, or reusable tote bag, using nice gift wrap and ribbon.
- Encourage your child to participate in the gift-giving by helping select items, making the card, or presenting the gift.
- Time the gift thoughtfully, considering giving it outside of Teacher Appreciation Week for greater impact.
