Today I’m sharing some fun teacher appreciation gifts for any budget!
Teaching really is one of the hardest, but most important jobs in the world! I taught high school for nine years, and I can tell you, it meant THE WORLD to me when my students and/or their parents told me my work made a difference in their lives! So as Teacher Appreciation Week and the end of the school year draw near, here are a few ideas for showing LOVE to all those amazing teachers out there!
Directions for Printable Tags:
Below each image there is a pdf and jpeg file for each printable.
Download and save the file to your computer.
Print file from your home computer or send to a print shop. They will look best printed on heavy white cardstock.
Attach the tag with ribbon or glue or tape it on a dowel rod or skewer.
Have your child sign the front and write a note to their teacher on the back.
I ALWAYS saved and cherished sweet notes from students!
Teacher Towel Gift
Thank your teachers by getting them pool/beach ready! You can find the printable tags for these towel gifts and suggestions on where to find towels and water bottles here.
All Smiles
There are so many cute smiley face items out there right now! I thought this tag was perfect!
I grabbed two sets of colorful stretchy bracelets from Amazon, divided them and added them to these cards! Sure to make your teachers smile!

I had a BALL with you as my Teacher
I found this tub HERE and filled it with baseball game type snacks and drinks and an Academy gift card. Feel free to customize to your teacher’s preferences.
If you’d rather not do a bucket, you could grab a six pack of their favorite beverage, replace one spot with snacks and tie the tag and gift card on!
I also added one that says COACH instead of TEACHER! Find it here:

These neck fans were one of my FAVORITE Amazon purchases last summer!
People looked at me funny when I pulled it out of my bag at the pool, but when I put it on them, they were sold! Haha! Three speeds, adjustable, lights up and charges via USB. Teachers that are outside for bus duty, recess, practices, etc. need one of these….and of course, for their own pool time this summer!
Available in several colors HERE.
You could also use this tag for other styles of portable fans. Sharing a few below:
