The school year is winding down and it's not too early to be thinking about teacher's gifts for the end of the year. I am not very organized but I do take time to get thoughtful gifts for the teachers at the end of the year. I don't spent a ton of money but I think it's a nice way to say thank you.

Giving the teacher a unique gift is a nice way to end the year and start the summer.
Here are a few ideas that I have used:

Fun Office Products
Don't get anything APPLE related. Every teacher has a closet full of apple items. Be original.
You don't have to spend a lot of cash to find something special for the teacher. A colorful holder for pens is nice. A funky box to hold paperclips is easy and useful. For $5 you can get some great stickers for the teacher at Fred Flare.

Animal or Hobby Gifts
Is the teacher an animal lover? Does he or she like to knit? A gift that reflects a favorite hobby or interest will make the teacher feel great. The pug bank in the picture can be found at Delight.com. Or you can get the cook/baker teacher a set of "dessert" erasers at Fred Flare.

Note Cards
Note Cards or Stationery are a welcome gift for anyone but especially for teachers. They need to write home notes to parents or send thank you notes, so give them a way to do it with style.
I've mentioned it before but Fabulous Stationery is one of my favorite stores on the web.
