It’s important to us, here at Garnish, to offer ideas and inspiration. So we bring you a new series called “What I Like About You”. Today, we bring you what we like about teachers and end of school teacher gifts.  I enjoy being able to volunteer in my boys’ schools. But I also really enjoy being able to leave.  I think it must be akin to being a grandparent!  My sons’ teachers rock.  They really do.  We are so fortunate to have them guiding my young men through their lives.

Here’s what we like about these teacher gift ideas.

I think just about every teacher will tell you that while receiving a gift from a student is extremely generous and thoughtful, they do not need anymore mugs!  Think consumable.  Think function.

Something good to eat: We put a tomato plant in a wood pint berry box with a gift card tucked in behind.  Twine and circle label complete the look. Cute, right?!  Each time she/he enjoys a BLT this summer, they’ll be thinking of you. Note: font is a font with serifs via dafont.com

Something fun to do: Pay it forward.  It might be the end of the year, but your teacher will need some supplies to get going after summer vacation.  School supplies are always needed.  Using the squat gable box to house it all, we put in hand sanitizer, sharpies,  post it notes in a medium glassine bag, clips and rubber bands in the small translucent deli container.  All of the items (minus Sharpies) can be found at the dollar store.  Extra bonus! Note: font is heartquake via dafont.com

Something good to drink: It’s hot out and thirsts need to be quenched.  Place a small bottle of lemonade, fun sparkling water, or drink mixes in the lined tie top bag.  Maybe some little muffins too. On the outside of the bag we attached a medium glassine bag, perfect to hold a note and striped paper straws. Note: font is american typewriter

What do we like about all these teacher gift ideas?  They’re easy on the eyes, wallet and time.  They’re big on impact, thoughtfulness and function.

Isn’t it fun to say “thank you”?!
