The first day of school brings excitement and new beginnings for both students and teachers. It’s a great time to show appreciation for educators! A thoughtful teacher gift can set a positive tone for the year ahead. This post shares my favorite first day of school teacher gift along with a free printable!
Thoughtful Teacher Gift for the First Day
Who wants to come home after the first day of school and cook dinner and do the dishes? Definitely not teachers! This thoughtful first day of school gift can be used with any food gift card, but a pizza or food delivery gift card works especially well! Here’s how to put it together!
Directions for Gift:
- Purchase a small package of paper plates and paper napkins. These are available in a variety of colors and prints at almost any dollar or grocery store! I think the smaller drink size napkins work better for this gift since they are a little smaller and easier to stack and still see the plates!
- Purchase a food gift card in the amount of your choice. Pizza gift cards are a great option! Many grocery stores carry a variety of gift cards or you can even save time by purchasing the gift card online and printing it.
- Print off the free printable gift tag and help your child sign their name and/or write your families name.
- Add some cute ribbon to tie it all together and give to your child’s teacher on the first day of school!
