The List: 15 Creative Ways to Say Thank You

They spend as much time as you do with your kids. They teach them to spell their name, help them find their stuff, make sure they wash their hands and get huge points for patience and caring. Show your child’s teacher how grateful you are with one of these 15 Creative Ways to Say Thank You.
For the Good Communicator
Worth noting. A personalized pad of paper for the educator you admire won’t cost you much in the way of time, money or craft supplies, but will be a genuinely well-received end-of-year gift they’ll actually use. ($19.50, more)

For the Teacher They’ll Never Forget
Good teachers don’t usually stand for labels (‘gifted’ vs ‘smart’) but they’ll make an exception in this case. Gift a great grab bag with their name on it for anywhere they’ll go this summer. ($30, more)


For the Teacher Who Likes Lunch Break
We’re all familiar with the idea that good things come in small packages. Deliver on that thought with a reusable silicon take-out/lunch container that doubles as a nifty gift box for small but wonderful surprises. ($13.99, more)
