Your teacher has worked hard all year! Give them the perfect summer relaxation kit! Heather is here to tell you exactly how to make one. She is a teacher so she knows exactly what teachers want!

Hello there Skip to My Lou Readers. I’m Heather Freeman from The Lovely Cupboard, and I’m so excited to be a part of the Teacher Appreciation Series this year. Being a 5th grade teacher myself, I personally know how much a token of thanks means at the end of a long school year. The kids may not realize it, but teachers are counting down the days until June just like our students!

The gift I’m sharing today is a bag filled with items that will come in handy poolside or at the beach. Start with a cute tote and fill it with all sorts of goodies. The fun part is that your child can help pick out the things for their teacher.

I purchased all the items at Wal Mart, and it took less than 15 minutes to put this bag together. I started with the tote and then picked the beach towel. I tried to pull from the colors in the beach towel for the other items.

I printed up this little note on the computer, but you could have your child write the gift tag.
If you run out of time and just can’t get a bag together, don’t feel bad about snagging a gift card in the check out line. Teachers love them…really we do! Here’s to sleeping in, days by the pool, and no homework…(sigh). I can’t wait!
This is such a great idea that we created a printable gift tag for you!

  1. Love this idea! I could not get the free printable note. Please help. Would like to use this idea for an end of the year gift. Hope to get a reply. THANKS!!

  2. I wanted you to know I put a link to this on my website. Love the idea. I’m going to use it for a teenager getting out of school, too.

  3. Love the gift idea! Am actually going to give it to her the last day of parent appreciation. The rest of the week I gave her little goodies. Oh and Dollar Tree has beach bags and flip flops total cost less than $25 bucks.

  4. My class is going to do this for our teacher, because this is such a great idea. However, I can’t get the little note. Could you please help me out?

    Thanks!

  5. We did this gift idea for my son’s kindergarten teacher last year and it was such a hit that we will be doing it again for his first grade teacher this year on the last day of school. Our teachers are amazing and they deserve the best. Love all the other ideas on this blog. Will have to use them in the future.

  6. Brilliant idea! Now to find out if my daughters teacher is going anywhere nice on holiday (wouldn’t be much use in Northern Ireland otherwise lol). Tried to print the tag but saying the document doesn’t exist, will come back later and check again!

    Love this series x

  7. This is a great idea!! and with my extreme couponing I have about everyone of these items in my stock that cost me les than $5!!

    P.S. I tried printing the note part but it says the document doesn’t exist 🙁

  8. Love this idea. I make a first day survival kit for my kids’ teachers. I put candy, gum, hand sanitizer, water, favorite pop, money for pop machine and snack machine, granola bar, air freshner, and anything else I can think to help their first day go a little easier. All in a cute plastic tub or whatever I can find.

  9. Oh, my! I would have loved getting a gift like this! I am a newly retired teacher.
    If a parent wanted, they could pool resources with several others. Each could buy something for the tote. Wow! The teacher might end up with some outstanding homemade and handmade goodies. Remember to include a note handwritten by your child. If necessary, have the child dictate while you write. Then have the child copy the note….include your copy if needed for interpretation!
    Hey, I would start on a bag for next year’s teacher….and give it as an introduction to your child. Your child could make things for the bag this summer!

  10. I log this idea, I’m going to do it for one of our girls teachers. Loving this sieries of posts… Any ideas for a male teacher??

  11. This is a very thoughtful gift and an idea that I hadn’t thought of. Those kinds of gifts are always fun to give and receive.
