Hellobee Boards

Our daycare teachers do not pay for additional supplies.

I think your gift idea sounds really lovely, but instead of school supplies, I would maybe do something like a hand cream or mini manicure set or something more for them and not related to school.

Here, giving gifts to daycare teachers is completely not the norm. They were totally surprised last year when we gifted them right before school closed for the holidays. That said, I plan on gifting them again this year to show how much we appreciate them.

@Mrs D: love the tote but agree with others about not doing school supplies!

I think the tote alone would be enough but if you want to put something in it maybe baked goods and their favorite beverage?

When these come back in stock, I'm getting them this! If it doesn't come back in stock, I'll get them the tote bag. http://www.weestructed.com/collections/all/products/copy-of-raising-tiny-humans-is-exhausting-travel-mug

@youboots: haha agree. I'm not a fan of scented body products it but most are. I don't do Sbux anymore because most of their teachers don't drink coffee. Target GCs are my go to now unless I'm doing a themed gift.

As a teacher, we love getting gift cards. I do spend my own money for classroom supplies so a gift card 'frees up' my money for me to pick what I like for me and for my classroom. Actually, not just as a teacher but in general I always give gift cards for anything. To me it is personal because I want the gift receiver to get whatever he or she wants. One year the class got together and gave me a basket of gift cards and it was the best! Macy's bbb Duncan donuts bath and body works. I think it's awesome that you love join teachers so much you are thinking of this in October! Also a sincere note of appreciation is always treasured!

I think the 3 primary teachers may appreciate some classroom supplies but definitely not the floaters. I know they have always asked for things like hand sanitizer and hand lotion for the teachers in the classroom (because they wash so often).

One other thing would be a magazine subscription. Our preschool teachers love to have them to bring in the room for the kids to cut up. So maybe something she could read and then bring to the room (Southern Living, Good Housekeeping, etc).
