Gift Giving: Getting To Know Your Teacher
I don’t know if you’re the same way, but I want to give gifts or make gifts for my childrens’ teachers that they really want. I don’t want to give them their 3,103rd porcelain apple (unless they collect). Last year, I created a simple form for N’s teachers to fill out that gave us some guidance on gift buying and gift making for the school year. We give for Christmas, the teacher’s birthday, and Teacher Appreciation Week, and the list made it so much easier to do.
I keep the list simple, but some of the things you might want to find out include:
- favorite color
- hobbies
- favorite food
- favorite store
- favorite restaurant
- favorite smell
- favorite candy
- least favorite food/smell/candy
- favorite weekend activities
- favorite music
- birthday
You can include anything on the list you think is important for easy gift giving that your child’s teacher will love. Just one more step in staying sane this school year!
Here’s the form we are using this year:
I’d love to hear what you would include on your list!
