print pots for teachers
We all know that teachers love gift cards (and you can easily attach one to any of these gifts!) but if you want to do something a little more personal for your child's teacher at the end of the school year, try one of these crafty ideas for teacher gifts.
Personalized Flower Pot
In this sample, the pot was made with decoupaged designs. You don't have to get that elaborate to make this cute gift. You can paint a pot you have in the garage with a bright color paint and then add the label. Pair the plant with a gift basket of garden themed treats and you're good to go. This would be adorable if it was painted in chalkboard paint and your child wrote his/her teacher a personal message on the pot.

Plastic Cup with Pencils
This works perfectly for teachers any time of the year. Buy a plastic drink holder with lid just about anywhere, line it with new pencils and fill with wrapped Hershey kisses. Add a Starbuck's gift card tied with a ribbon and you're sure to have a happy teacher.

Summer Relaxation Tote
Start with a cute tote and fill it with summer staples like a current magazine, a pair of bright flip-flops, beach towel, sunscreen and a drink holder.

Class Gifts:
Personalized Tote Bag
This is such a sweet idea and so dang adorable that it's well worth the effort that would go into making it. It does require the work of one class parent to organize and then create it. Don't be surprised if every parent in the class wants one!

Fingerprint Pictures Pot
If you have a particularly artistic room parent, this would be an adorable gift as shown. If you don't have that parent, it would be almost as cute with just the prints and names. Put a variety of gift cards inside and you'll have one very happy teacher!
