For a Remarkable Teacher

If you ask any teacher what school supply they need the most, they'll usually name dry erase markers. A box of whiteboard markers is not only inexpensive but makes a practical and oh-so-thoughtful gift — a win-win-win in our books. Wrap up markers with a bow and top with our free printable tag to help start or end the school year on a re-mark-able note.

Cheese, Please

Who could say no to this mouthwatering goodie basket? Fill an inexpensive or upcycled container with artisan cheese, crackers and spreads from your local co-op, farmers market or specialty grocery store and package it all up with a cheese knife and board. Get extra credit by including a handwritten or printed menu that lets the recipient know exactly what delicacies they'll be enjoying.

Self-Care Kit

Give your deserving teacher the gift of total relaxation. Pack a bucket (we found ours at the dollar store) with soothing face masks, a delicious scented candle, colorful nail polish and more for a night of much-needed R&R.
