Teacher Appreciation Week, the beginning and end of the school year, and other special occasions all provide the perfect opportunities to show teachers love. While mugs and chocolate are classic go-to gifts, the truth is that many teachers already have a cupboard full of cups. Choosing one of these embroidered products is sure to make your favorite teacher smile.
1- Provide Them With a Fun Shirt
You can use embroidery designs to make personalized shirts with teaching-related images such as apples, crayons, and pencils. This gift idea is also ideal for making matching shirts for grade-level teams. Providing teachers with matching shirts is a fun way to prep for upcoming professional development days and field trips.
2- Dress Up Their Kitchen With Pretty Tea Towels
Tea towels are fun, functional projects that everyone can use. If you’re worried about overfilling the teacher’s mug rack, then you can bet that a tea towel will be a cherished gift. You can choose to embroider tea towels with fun seasonal designs for them to use in the kitchen. Or, you might select school-related themes for teachers who’ll use the towels at their classroom sink.
3- Encourage Them to Relax With a Beach Towel
The end of the school year is the perfect time to show your favorite teacher appreciation before they head off for the summer. Beach towels are fun and practical gifts that will get teachers in the mindset for fun. After working hard all school year, a customized beach towel sends signals that it is time to relax.
4- Personalize a Tote Bag
Teachers are always toting around snacks, supplies, and other essentials. A personalized tote bag reminds the teacher in your life to smile when they remember that you and your family appreciate their hard work. Tote bags are a great gift that you can fill with treats or a beach towel for an extra special touch.
5- Add a Touch of Warmth With a Customized Blanket
Everyone loves a cozy blanket, and whipping up a few personalized ones is a fast project that you can use to fulfill many teachers’ gift wishes. You could customize a blanket with the school’s name and mascot. You might also opt to add a whimsical saying or image that celebrates the teacher’s style.
6- Make a Cute Apron to Wear During Projects
Teaching can be a messy profession, and even high school educators are prone to being exposed to paint spills and other messes during projects. Aprons are especially great for preschool and other elementary teachers who love hands-on learning. You can also embroider aprons for teachers to use at home when they enjoy cooking during their time off.
When you know that multiple holidays occur during a school year, it’s always fun to have several gifts in mind. Consider tackling several embroidery projects when you sit down to sew. After all, many of these ideas work well together. Having a cute set of tea towels or personalized tote bags ready to go means you won’t have to stress when it’s time for the next teacher appreciation event.
