Cute First Day of School Gift for Teacher with Printable Tag
July is already half-way over! And that means its time to start planning for my son to head back to school. One fun way to prepare for back to school season is by purchasing school supplies. But kids aren’t the only ones that need supplies! This year, help your kid’s teacher out by purchasing her some extra supplies, too. This cute first day of school gift for teacher is a great way to help her out at the beginning of the school year.

Giving your child’s teacher gifts is a great way to get to know them and help show your appreciation for everything they do throughout the school year. But I think teachers receive so much stuff they don’t really want or need from parents! That’s why I love thinking of practical ways to show you care throughout the year.
My favorite types of gifts to give teachers is gifts of food. If you’re looking for a fun food gift for your child’s teacher, check out these posts:

Another great way to show your child’s teacher some appreciation at the beginning of the year is with school supplies. There are tons of supplies teachers need throughout the year, from notepads to highlighters. And giving them something useful ensures they make the most of the gift you give them!

What a clever idea for a teacher. I don’t ever remember getting any first-day gifts as a teacher. This would have been a great way to know a child right off.
This is such a cute and thoughtful idea! I always loved getting handmade, thoughtful gifts like this when I was teaching! So cute!
I’ve never heard of a First Day Gift! I don’t have kids, sooo…! This is an adorable and thoughtful little gift I’m sure teachers will appreciate!
I love how practical this present is combined with how easy you make it to add a few special touches. The little details count.
I love the idea of giving teachers a small gift to start the year off on a good note. . . and what a great idea to give them something they can really use in the classroom! I love this idea because it’s affordable, practical, and your tag makes it really cute as well.
