For a Special Teacher

by Bonnie

My son and I put this basket together one year for one of his favorite teachers in June when school was ending. We included a card with a message from him, and one from me, thanking her for all her hard work and telling her we knew she needed to relax after dealing with them all year! We put funny notes on several of the items and included inexpensive but useful things such as a coffee sampler, tea bags, bubble bath, scented candle, a package of note cards and book of stamps (she always hand writes thank-you's to the kids and mails them), stickers (teachers often buy supplies), etc. My son enjoyed picking things out, it wasn't expensive, and she really loved it because it was unique.
