The end of the course is approaching and the WhatsApp groups of school parents are already fuming thinking about what to give to teachers. Although some parents do not agree to give away, most agree that the dedication, professionalism and patience of the masters make them deserve recognition at the end of classes.
However, the complicated thing is to agree on what to give: A detail made by the students, or something more practical and useful? If you find yourself in this situation within three weeks of the end of the course, we give you ideas of beautiful and original gifts for your children's teachers.
Gifts made by students
These types of gifts are usually the most demanded because they involve children in their realization and the economic cost is very low. The main problem is that it requires punctuality on the part of the children (who must deliver the material on time) as well as involvement of the parents in charge in their preparation and presentation.
Some examples of this type of gifts are:
Photo album and clippings, to collect the best moments of the course and dedications of the students
Picture frame / picture of group or an illustrated picture that appreciates the work of the teacher during the course
Boxes, bottles or boats with messages, dedications or poetry of the students. The pieces of paper can be folded in the form of earrings tied with a bow, airplanes, boats or simply stored inside individual envelopes with the student's name
Video recorded by the students, where each of them send a personal message to the teacher
Drawing made by all students to symbolize what you learned during the course or a feeling linked to your teacher. We loved this picture that represents a tree that grows strong - symbolizing the education received - made with the children's fingerprints
Song with personalized lyrics sung by all children
Story written and illustrated by students. You can tell some everyday story that happened during the course, some anecdote or just a fable that among all the children are creating
Gifts for personalized teachers
These kinds of details combine practicality with customization in the form of dedications or emotional messages, so that when the teacher makes use of it, he always remembers who gave it to him.
- Cups, keychains or magnets personalized with the name of all the students, some dedication or simply the academic year and the name or group of the class
- Cushion, towel, toilet bag, blanket or bag of fabric with the names of the children, the traces of their little hands or some dedicated drawing
- Custom jewelry with the names of children written by themselves, such as bracelets, pendants or bracelets
Uncustomized gifts
There are parents who prefer to make a gift without personalizing so that the teacher can use freely without the condition of being marked with names or dedications.
These types of gifts are very practical for the recipient and very comfortable and quick to manage for parents who are responsible for their purchase, but obviously the essence of why it is lost.
They may be simple details, such as a set of pens, a key ring, a book or a purse
OR more sophisticated gifts of greater economic value like a jewel, a watch or a spa and beauty treatment
Flowers and sweets
And a traditional gift that never fails they are flowers and sweets. We can conventionally give a large bouquet of roses or a box of chocolates, or choose to customize and even provide a creative note to detail, such as:
- Candy or pastry basket with custom wrappers
Lucky cookies with one dedication per student inside each cookie
Pasta made by children with the initials of their names or boats to store bread or personalized cookies
- Plants in a pot decorated or painted by the children themselves
- Custom gardening box, with seeds and messages of thanks
