Are you at a loss of what presents to buy for your teachers? Or have you decided to make something unique for your teacher this Teachers’ Day? Well, here’s some advice!
For one, a gift certificate is never a bad idea. Giving a gift certificate and allowing the teacher to choose something for herself/himself may be of better use to him/her. Through a gift certificate, it is certain that your teacher can buy himself/herself something that he/she would enjoy and would be useful to him/her.
Try to avoid giving things like mugs, potted plants, scented candles, and those mundane common gifts. Chances are that the teacher in question has received numbers of those useless and same items over the years enough to open a store! Be creative and give something that only you can give – something personal and heartfelt – to express a sincere thank you.
Homemade food items are a hit with teachers. Things like baked goodies, preserves, salsas or sauces or even mixes in jars make simple and useful presents. You may consider adding a recipe or two and bind everything up with fabrics and ribbons, so as to make your present appealing and professional. Our Wordspace houses a medley of cookbooks, waiting to be taken off their shelves. Do check out those books for fabulous recipes you can make and give your teacher as thanks. Below are certain food items you can consider presenting to your teachers.
-Cookies
-Fancy pretzels dipped in melted chocolate and candy sprinkles
-Cheesecake
Do remember that it’s the thought that counts, so the most important thing is that you show sincerity and appreciation in presenting your gifts.
To all our sincere and dedicated teachers, Library & Publications wishes you a Happy Teachers’ Day! To all Cedarians, check out the ‘Food For Thought’ column in our blog for more ideal recipes which would make perfect gifts for your teachers!
