Food Gifts for Teachers

I made this for my son’s preschool teachers last year. S’mores are a classic summer treat, so it’s a natural gift for any teacher longing for the summer to arrive. I purchased the boxes and ribbon from Wal-Mart, then added some graham crackers, marshmallow and Hershey’s bars.

Teachers receive a ton of gifts at the end of the year, so why not get them something practical? A gift card is a great way to show you care, all the while knowing that it will come in handy, too. Just because you’re giving a gift card doesn’t mean you can’t add some DIY charm, though.
