Love these! Thanks for the tips- even though my oldest is only in preschool, I appreciate his teachers so much, and you are right, even the smallest gift can mean so much to let them know they are appreciated!
These are great ideas, love them! Welcome to Thrifty Thursday, hope to see you regularly!
These are great sayings! Thanks for sharing them!
My kids were blessed to have teachers who go above and beyond their duties. They not only teach our kids but they really show that they care about them, too. I hope that everyone will take the time to thank their kids’ teachers for all that they do.
Thanks for sharing these great ideas! With 4 kids in school, I am always looking for creative (and inexpensive) ways to honor their teachers. Thanks for passing these great ideas along!!
Great ideas, and so many can be used for lots of others we work with and appreciate. I will use them!
Great ideas!! I sure will be using some of these, like Julie said… they can be for lots of occasions/people… some would even be fun to send in lunches to surprise our kids!
Adorable! I love the combination of the two ideas & whoppers-Yum! Makes for the sweetest gift! ;O)
pair that beautiful flowers to an original heart-felt poem, perhaps. ah, now that is a heart warming gift. 🙂
