Any Time of Year Gifts

Teacher besties, where would be without them, am I right? Celebrate your awesome teammates or mentors with these funny and thoughtful gifts, any time of year (tip: a midweek surprise for no reason other than “You're the best and I appreciate all the hard work you do” can make a big difference in teacher morale!)

6. Thanks a “Latte” for all you do!

My teacher besties and I would take turns treating each other to “payday lattes.” Attach this sweet note to show how much you appreciate that colleague who is always there to support you.

7. Teammates Like You are Refreshing

Pair this gift tag with a reusable straw and their favorite beverage.

8. Donut Know What I'd Do Without You!

Sprinkle your teammates with appreciation – and donuts!

9. Something Out of the Blue Because We Love You!

Print these cards out at the beginning of the year to always have on hand. Then, you can surprise a colleague, mentor, or special guest with a small token of appreciation.
