DIY Teacher Gift Basket

My cousin recently graduated college with her early childhood education degree.  I wanted to do something really special for her that would excite her to have a classroom and students of her own.  I did a little research on teacher gifts and came up with the idea of putting a basket together for her.  These baskets would be great gifts for new teachers, teacher appreciation, Christmas, and the end of the school year!

Included in the basket I made:

·         Bulletin board boarders

·         Highlighters

·         Colored grading pens

·         “Hello my name is” neon nametags

·         “Creative Solution” pad of awards

·         Post it note holder

·         Extra post it notes

·         Starbucks gift card

·         Framed quote

·         Stickers

·         Hand Sanitizer

·         Hot Dots & Pen

·         Changing Faces Clock

·         DIY Clipboard

·         DIY Initial tumbler

Don’t forget to buy shreds for the bottom and some type of ribbon to weave through the holes!  You could also use a tote bag or a lunchbox instead of a basket.

This basket was stuffed full, but other/more ideas are:

·         Supplies such as tape, glue, scissors, stapler, paperclips, etc.

·         Student prizes like pencils and erasers

·         Sheet protectors

·         Sentence strips

·         Permanent markers

·         Dry erase markers

·         Books

·         Book marks

·         Gift cards to teaching supply stores or book stores

·         Notebook

·         Planner

·         Wipes

I hope sharing my ideas help with gift ideas for that special teacher in your life!
