LAST minute gifts that TEACHERS actually WANT!

It’s Crunch Time!!

This is the last week of school! A few months ago, you had grand plans to get your child’s teacher a gift that was both creative and personal  Perhaps you were going to order them a personalized gift or tap into your artistic side and make that School Supply Cake you saw on Pinterest a while back? And now you are thinking you definitely won’t have time to make the apple cake pops.

With only have a few shopping nights left, time is not on your side. We’re here to help you.

We asked a group of teachers what gifts they love receiving from their students, and hands down they all said, GIFT CARDS! They can never have enough. Some of the top faves; Starbucks, Tim Hortons, Cadillac Fairview, LCBO, Chapters, Michaels and  Bon Appetit.  While teachers do love gift for their own personal use, they also appreciate gifts for their classrooms or staff rooms (school supplies, books, games, coffee makers, toasters, etc).

Combine your gift card with a personal card from both you and your child, and your child’s teacher will know how much they are appreciated.

Other great gifts: Flowers/Plants, homemade cards or pictures from your child and bottles of wine!

Gifts to stay away from: Candles, Creams, Chocolate and Mugs!

Happy Shopping and Have a great summer!!
