DIY Gift Basket For Your Child’s Teacher!

No matter if it’s Teacher Appreciation Day, the last day of school, the first day of school, or a holiday, create a simple DIY gift basket for your child’s teacher with items you can find at your local Target, Walmart, a dollar store, or even grocery store. You can fill your basket with personal care items, classroom items, or items you think the teacher would enjoy.

Most importantly, mark each item with a special little meaning, and you’re sure to impress! Let your little one’s teacher know why you chose each item. Keep it fun and simple. The teacher will LOVE it, and your child will get a kick out of gifting it to him/her. Be sure to include your little one by take them along on the shopping trip… (or not!)
