Gift Guide: Teachers

Every year I ask myself the same thing.....What do I get for my kid's teachers? I mean, I want to thank them for educating my children, who aren't always so easy to get along with, but I don't really *know* them. So what should I get them? Without further further ado, I have put together a few fabulous suggestions from my fellow Etsyians.....

All teachers need one of these fabulous key fobs from tumpuscreations. I mean, all teachers are always losing their keys right? With one of these wristlet key fobs, that won't be an issue any longer. With tons of snazzy prints, and an affordable price, they'd make great gifts for all the teachers on your list!



Be sure to check out these fabulous book board pendants by prettytheory for your favorite English teacher. Once again, she has a wide variety of choices, so you're sure to find something for each teacher on your list. I love this French Pear pendant!




These personalized teacher note cards by staccato are just the thing for that hard to buy for teacher! All teachers write notes, correct? Wouldn't you like to get one of these cute little note cards to tell you that little Johnny has been slacking off again?




This wonderful 12 ounce coffee mug by KarinLorenc is sure to bring a smile to any math teacher's face. Math was never my strong subject, but I sure do love the shape of this mug. I mean, all teachers drink coffee (or tea) right?




How about a juicy MacIntosh Apple soy candle by yours truly? Candles are the perfect gift for anyone who is hard to buy for. Theywhen go great when paired with note cards or a key fob. Just a little something extra to say "thanks".

I Can't WAIT For Back to School!!

Tonight is our 'meet the teacher' night before my kids go back to school on Monday. I am so excited, I am almost beside myself! Monday I shall get up, get them dressed and out the door, and then blissfully hurry back to burrito myself in my comforter and sleep off the last of the summer.

I've been counting the days until my three children go back to school using one of these perpetual calendars myself, made by *THE* one and only QueenVannaCreations. Mine is a little more *cough* gothic, but my kids fight to change the date on it (maybe because it's so darn cool)!!

Our back to school shopping is all complete, but wouldn't your kids love one of these awesome pencil pouches from Rohmer? I kind of wish that I had a need for a pencil pouch like that!

Don't forget about the teachers! The ones who are taking your kids off your hands, so you can recoup from summer break. They need a special treat too right? How about this awesome beaded paperweight from RedBessBonney?

And last but not least, even though you've unloaded them for the school year, and you'll actually have what resembles a life for 9 months, even if it is only during the day, it's nice to send them little lunch box notes so they know that you're still thinking about them. Or you can remind them that if they don't do their homework when they get home from school, they'll be grounded for all eternity. These are from my paper shop, auntiescardshop. They're also good to slip little 'hunnydo lists' into the briefcase! :)

Enjoy!
