My daughter’s last day of school was this week. She has two AMAZING teachers. They are kind, caring, patient, and have made her first experience with school a true blessing. They both love their students and their jobs. They made the transition to school so easy and fun.
I wanted to get each of my daughter’s teachers something to help kick off the summer.
If I had the money, I would have bought them a day at the spa {since they completely deserve it} Since I can’t afford that I decided to make something simple, practical, and sweet for them.
Get Ready For Summer Teacher Gift!
What’s In It:
Straw waterbottle
Bag of M&Ms
Small bottle of hand lotion
Small travel bottle filled with homemade sugar scrub
{The homemade sugar scrub is literally the easiest thing in the world to make. Sugar + liquid hand soap = amazing scrub. Click HERE to see the recipe from Amy at My 3 Monsters}
I put all the items inside the water bottle. Then I made this card using my photos on PicMonkey.com and taped it to the water bottle.
Like the chalkboard background? I downloaded it for free HERE.
Did you do anything special for the teachers in your life? I need some ideas for next year!

I loved your teacher gift idea. I modified a bit.Started with similar straw cup and hand lotion, added travel pack of face wipes, body spray , mini compact mirror, and then some packets of instant Iced Tea and Lemonade. Also, for a few, I threw in a coupon for a Med Iced coffee at DD ( I had bought a package for myself and decided to rip a few out and share! ) Thanks !!! have some pictures, but not sure how / if I can upload here? Kind Regards, Robin S.
Those sound like great gifts for a teacher! Thanks for stopping by!
