As the school year is winding down, I thought I'd share with you the most awesome gift I have ever received as a teacher. Last year a student and her mother made me a home-made cookie bouquet! It was the most thoughtful, original, and heart-warming gift I have ever received from a student.
Here's How They Made It:
- 1 block green floral foam
- Wooden kabob skewers
- Woven basket
- Tissue paper
- Plastic sandwich bags without zip closures
- Multi-colored ribbon
- Assorted, from scratch, hand decorated, sugar cookies
They attached a hand written note of thanks and the recipe they used for the sugar cookies. They also made it a "Star" theme to express that I was a "Shining Star Teacher".
By changing the cookie shape, this gift could be used for a variety of different occasions. It was an incredibly touching gift and could be used to show sincere thanks to anyone in your life. I know that I will never forget it and hope to create my own soon!
Additional themes could be:
- Quilt blocks for a friend
- Award Ribbons for an accomplishment
- Hearts for love
- Houses for house-warming
- Sports equipment for good luck or celebrations
- Baby bottles for a shower
- Wedding cakes for a wedding or shower
- Mickey faces for an upcoming trip or party
- Diploma for graduation
- Flip-Flops for summer
- Keys or cars for a 16th Birthday
Any other ideas?
