Inexpensive Teacher Gift Ideas

The picture above was taken from The Executive Homemaker. And if you go there you will find the template to print the label for these s’mores! It is just too cute to not share with my readers!

I also found the most FANTASTIC list of thrifty gift ideas – I just had to share them with you!!! These would be great to give to your children’s Sunday School Teachers, Pastors, and School Teachers.

I found these on Skip to My Lou during teacher appreciation week…

“You rock!” tag with pop rocks, rock candy, Rock Star soft drink or painted rock for a paperweight

“You have been ‘key’ to Blake’s success!” tag attached to a key ring, maybe a pretty handmade beaded one

“We are ‘nuts’ about you!” tag attached to some nuts

“You ‘float’ above the rest” tag attached to a balloon or a fun pool float for the summer

“You are worth more than a 100 grand to Blake!” tag attached to a 100 Grand candy bar

“Here is a ‘pat’ on the back for doing such a great job!” tag attached to a gift certificate for a massage

I thank the Lord for the outstanding Sunday School teachers my children have had this year. Teachers need to know that their investment in our children’s lives are appreciated. Take the time to pick up something small and let your children write out the card to show show their gratitude.

Walk with the King!

  3. I love these! My co-worker and I have started to come up with ideas to reward our team at work for the everyday good we do with our students (we work with college students at a university as advisors). These are fun, inexpensive ideas–and who doesn't love treats! : )

  4. I think these are absolutely great! I'm going to add these to my FUN FRIDAYS post today because these definitely are FUN ideas!

    Thanks for sharing –

  5. Love these ideas for appreciation. We are getting ready to do an appreciation luncheon for all the gals on staff at our church before VBS/camp season starts. This might be a great addition. Thanks for sharing, Courtney!

  6. This is a great gift idea. I am a teacher looking for parent volunteer appreciation gifts. I wish this s’more label could read “We need S’MORE volunteers like you!” This is adorable!!!
