Teachers are a special breed if you ask me. I am always amazed at the dedication and love that each teacher always seems to demonstrate towards each child in their class. They have a special gift and I just don’t have it. I often think as I volunteer in my kids’ classes and watch the way their teachers teach and interact with their students that they are a better person than I. I thank all teachers everywhere and I love to show my appreciation all year long. However, next week is teacher appreciation week at our school and so I have searched pinterest tirelessly looking for the perfect ways to show our families appreciation to our teachers. These are some of my favorites and I am so happy to share them with you.

Check out this awesome Target Gift Card holder for your child’s teacher from landeeseelandeedo.com. Who doesn’t love a Target Gift Card? I would never turn one away.

Of course I always love gifts that have to do with anything in the kitchen and how fun is this idea from gigglesgalore.net. You can even print the adorable recipe card and write a favorite recipe for you favorite teacher.

For those teacher who love to grill, or for those male teachers who may not enjoy all the crafty gifts, this BBQ gift basket is perfect. With summer around the corner, it is time for those teachers to break out the grill and relax. Thanks for momontimeout.com

Lastly for us procrastinators or the noncrafty type, I love these gift card tags that simply need to be printed. There are three different ones to choose from and all are clever and cute.  Great idea chickabug.com
