  1. We love making little care packages of items she can keep all year in the desk-mints, paper clips, gum, post its, advil, etc..

  2. So cute for back to school!
    I normally give the teachers something when we are done at the end of the year but haven’t thought of doing one at the beginning of the school year.
    Love the “smart cookie” idea :)

  3. These are so clever! I keep a list of the funny stories my daughter tells during the year and put them in a small journal for her teacher. It’s a great way to look back on the year. :)

  4. These are all great DIY low budget gift ideas for the teachers. I love the jar of gum drops and the smores idea which is so sweet. Thanks for sharing.

  5. Some schools heard doesn’t allow students giving gifts to their teachers. It just sends the wrong message as a kid and earning the favor of the teacher is a petty form of bribery. But overall i think its a nice gesture to do.

  6. I normally just DIY my kids’ teachers gifts. It’s cheaper and it’s also fun to do. Thanks for the ideas!
