DON’T FORGET YOUR TEACHERS

It’s been said that teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions. These extraordinary individuals educate us. They motivate us. They inspire us. They lead us. And, when the time is right, they follow us … so that we can become the leaders. Show them you care this holiday season with a little something from the heart.

HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS

They’re personal, they’re seasonal and, best of all, they serve a purpose (unlike paperweights, etc.) Whether store-bought or DIY, your teacher will remember you every year he hangs it on his tree.

HOMEMADE COOKIES

Allow her to enjoy your gift at her convenience. The Curious Cookie Company packages all the high-quality ingredients she’ll need in a decorative jar so she can easily make this treat from scratch when she’s ready. curiouscookieco.com

GIFT CERTIFICATES

Snoop around a little in advance to see if you can determine her preferred nail salon or his favorite coffee shop. Teachers are usually so busy taking care of their students that they neglect themselves. That’s where you come in.

THANK YOU NOTE

Albert Einstein once said, “Out of clutter, find simplicity.” Your teacher doesn’t need another ceramic apple with an inspirational quote on it. Instead, take a moment to write down how much you appreciate everything he has done for you.
