What is a unique gift to give a third grade teacher for an end of the school year present?
sevenofus asked:
I have been a parent volunteer since my oldest started kindergarten in 1984 and have helped with numerous end of the school year parties. My youngest is in 3rd grade and I think my creativity has taken a leave of absence (or just too tired). I am just not coming up with any ideas for a teacher present this year. What are some good teacher gifts that you can think of? Some of the things I have done in the past are gift certificates to restaurants, teacher stores, sporting events, book stores; fabric painted sweatshirts, tote bags, aprons with kids’ names and handprints; flowers, plants, and trees; one year I did a summer survival kit with sunscreen, a book, a sun hat, etc, in a styrafoam cooler. All of these are thoughtful gifts and appreciated by teachers. Does anyone have other suggestions for truly unique gift ideas? Thanks!

Depending on the teacher’s personal hobbies:
1. A gardening bag filled with gardening tools, seeds, gloves, gardening hat, etc.
2. A beach bag filled with beach gear.
3. Gift certificate for a day at the spa.
4. Have all the kids write a short note or 3 things they love most about the teacher, and put all the pages in an album.

it’s obvious that you have give so many excellent presents in the past.. I don’t think you’ll receive any new ideas here , honestly it was YOU who gave us all nice ideas about teacher’s presents..
but’ll try to suggest something , it might help
try making a cake , cook it your self , or buy it and write something nice on it , you might ask your daughter what she would like to say to her teacher and right it on the cake

My wife is a second grade teacher, and gift cards are the definate way to go. Especially if the whole class gets together and buys a large gift card to a store you know the teacher likes. If you don’t know a store the teacher likes, try an American Express gift card, or one to a local mall that can be used in different stores.
Gift cards are always the right color.
(If you don’t give them a gift card, then give them nothing with apples on it! They already have a houseful of apple crap!)
