We love our teachers! We love to spoil our teachers! Here is an easy way to be creative and give your child’s teacher exactly what they want… a gift card! This teacher appreciation gift idea will make any teacher feel amazing!
Now, I have seen some ADORABLE ideas for teachers like beach bags full of summer fun supplies and giant popcorn buckets filled with movie-going goodies and whatnot. But, when I see these things, all I can think about is how that poor teacher then has to carry all of that out to his/her car on the last day of school along with all the other junk stuff he/she received and I just can’t fathom it. I HATE carrying loads of stuff to my car so my empathy kicks in and I can’t do that to these poor teachers. Unscientific studies have shown that really, all teachers want is GIFT CARDS, GIFT CARDS, and more GIFT CARDS. Why do we stray from this? Because we want to give them something cute and creative, that’s why.
So today I’m sharing a cute & creative Teacher Appreciation gift idea to give a Target gift card to your child’s wonderful teacher! This can be easily thrown in his/her purse or pocket so she/he can be on their merry way.
Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea Supplies Needed:
- A printout of the card trimmed to a 4×6 size, preferably on cardstock.
- A piece of black cardstock cut about 1/4 inch larger than card.
- Corner rounder (optional)
- Baker’s twine (or ribbon)
- Adhesive
- Scissors
- Exacto-knife
- Target Gift Card
Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea Instructions:
1. After trimming card down to size, use exacto-knife (on cutting surface) to cut a slit for the gift card. Follow the line along top edge of the white part of the target. Only cut the slit wide enough for the card to fit through snugly. Not too wide.
2. Round the corners of the printed card and black cardstock (optional).
3. Adhere the printed card to the black cardstock. Note: Do not put adhesive where the gift card will be.
4. “Cute up” the card by wrapping it in baker’s twine or ribbon.
5. Slide gift card in and give to your child’s teacher!
I’m hoping this makes the end-of-the-year craziness just that much easier!
