What Teachers Might Actually Like!
Teachers are the unsung heroes of our society. They dedicate their lives to shaping young minds, and anytime there's an opportunity, let's show them some love! Back-so-school is always a little emotional and believe me, it is a rollercoaster for teachers as well! Teachers have been planning this new school year all summer long... likely without a decent break!
As we gear to return to a new school year, a quick little welcome gift with sure be a surprise. But I often ask, what do they really like?? With my kid's teachers, I like to get them something they would actually love and that is personalized! I created this free Teacher Survey, which can be used to get to know your teacher as you get back to school this Fall! Feel free to print it out so the kiddos give to the teacher and have them return it back. I think you'll really take the guess work out of what your teacher might like.
Even if they don't fill out the survey, below are some great gift ideas any teacher would sure enjoy! Check out my fun Amazon Store front if you want some quick and quirky gifts or check out my Back-To-School Collection for some more customized gifts.
