It's Back to School Time - Great Gifts for Teachers

Summer is coming to an end.  Teachers are headed back to the classroom to organize and decorate. Adults are checking out those classroom lists.  Children are being eased back in to a routine.  And, if you're on the hunt for a unique teacher gift and need a few teacher appreciation gift ideas- I've got you covered!

Cute Fruit

A classic - ruby red transparent glass apple, with a textured green leaf, and a hand shaped wire stem - is a unique Welcome Back to School gift for any teacher.  Sized at about 3"x3", it the perfect little gift for your child's teacher.  See all the Cute Fruits here!  

Plant Stakes

Morels, Chanterelles and Red Tops! Oh, my!  These cuties tuck in to any indoor potted plant for lasting cheer and color!  Morels and Chanterelles have an attached metal stake to hold them in place.    

Limited Edition Fall plant stakes are available, too!

Personalized Pencil Suncatcher

For that extra special teacher (or new grad), order a personalized classic yellow pencil stained glass suncatcher. Mr. Getts gets lots of complements on his. (Yes, he's heard that pun...) Hang about the door as a welcome sign, or in a sunny window for extra color!

Falling Leaves Suncatchers

Say Happy Fall with a unique Falling Leaf suncatcher. Small batch crafted in my Indiana studio, each leaf features beautiful stained glass, wire veins, and a twisted wire stem for hanging. Need a custom color? Let's talk!  Intended to  hang in a window, but folks tell me they are stunning rearview mirror charms! 

The Best Teacher Appreciation Gift EVER

Truthfully, the very best gift parents can give a child's teacher is your support and thanks.  I know how tirelessly my teach friends and family are working to make sure every child can succeed in their classroom.  The "above and beyond" things you'll never see or hear about, the subtle impacts they are making, and the little (and not so little) life lessons are just as important as the Lesson Plan.  Teachers are call todo so much more than "just teach"! 

Stained glass suncatchers are a thoughtful, lasting back to school gift (and Christmas, end of school, teacher appreciation week... well, you get the idea!) for teachers, aides and educational assistants, librarians, school nurses, custodial and administrative staff.

Until next time,
Ailsa
