If you count, it turns out that our children spend much more time in kindergarten than at home with their relatives. That is why the educator is much more than just “looking after”, this person cares, prompts, gives advice, teaches and entertains, and when a problem happens, he comforts. To buy a gift for such an important person should be approached as responsibly as possible.
Useful Gift Ideas
When choosing a gift, the kindergarten teacher first of all wants to pick up something not only beautiful, but also useful. It's no secret that the salaries of employees of preschool institutions are low, therefore it is desirable that the present could do a good job.
Regardless of what exactly you choose, do not forget to add flowers - mainly women work in kindergartens, and they will always be pleased to receive a beautiful bouquet for their holiday.
Edible gifts can be presented to a worker of a preschool institution for his birthday. However, take their purchase with imagination, abandon the standard bouquet of alcohol and sweets - it is too banal, and not always appropriate, because we are talking about a kindergarten teacher. It is better to dwell on one of the options presented below.
- A tea set. Nowadays, in specialized stores you can buy quite original sets with different varieties of tea or coffee. They can be decorated in the form of a bouquet or cake - a woman can drink these drinks with colleagues or at home with her loved ones. Usually, each includes several tastes that can please any person.
- Muffins or cupcakes. Go to the choice of a gastronomic presentation with imagination, refuse cakes that are bored to everyone. Many private pastry shops offer beautifully packaged sets of muffins or muffins that the teacher can enjoy during the lunch break while the children are sleeping.
- Always appropriate also cheese basket and fruit and berry bouquets.
From non-food gifts, you can consider several options.
- Clock. This is not only a useful product, but also a stylish decoration that makes the image of a woman complete and harmonious. Pick up chronometers with an elegant strap for the teacher, do not forget to pack them in a stylish box. Surely such a gift would be glad to any woman.
- Decoration. If the gift is made immediately from a whole group, and all parents participate in raising money for it, then you can choose an expensive piece of jewelry, for example, a bracelet or a chain. Women are always happy about new trinkets, rest assured - such a gift is unlikely to be idle. But keep in mind that donating jewelry, even the most expensive, is not necessary - in this case only gold products are allowed.
- Vase. A useful and practical gift will be a flowerpot with a personal engraving. Often in homes there is not enough table or floor vase, and funds for its purchase are usually a pity, so such a gift will become truly priceless, just remember to give it to the woman a beautiful and expensive bouquet.
- Sconce or lamp. This thing is likely to be useful to the teacher, if she has children or grandchildren, a lamp projecting the night sky or a disco ball will be a good idea.
Some parents prefer to give presentations on their own. Here, cosmetic sets, leather gloves, a fashionable umbrella, a stylish accessory for a mobile phone, a hairdryer, a jewelry storage box or an item of household appliances will be good options.
Homemade Gift Ideas
Thinking about what to present to your beloved teacher on his birthday, you can always try to bring your kids to the presentation. Together with children, you can make many interesting gifts with your own hands, for example:
- photo collage with touching congratulations and kind words;
- postcards made by parents together with the guys from the group;
- clay figurines and other home-made souvenirs - for sure they will remain in your teacher’s memory for a long time.
A good idea would be a vase of pencils. Any kid can cope with it, and if you insert paper flowers with photos of pupils into it, you will get a very sweet and touching present for a long memory, and the brightest and most beautiful vase will decorate the group’s premises for a long time.
Can craft a spectacular panel, and in order to create a beautiful thing, it is completely optional to be a sculptor or artist. The panel can be built from ordinary cereals, dense threads, colored ribbons, coffee beans and other improvised materials.
Be sure that children will take part in the manufacture of crafts with great pleasure - such a picture will turn out to be not only beautiful, but also filled with emotions, a charged particle of the soul, so it will certainly cause only the brightest and kindest feelings in the teacher.
If you are friends with a needle and thread, sew a tilde doll. This fashionable home textile decoration, which will always be welcome, will find its place in the house. And if the doll also looks like a teacher, then the gift will turn out to be truly original and funny.
What to choose for the soul?
The work of the educator is very complicated - such a person is responsible for the life, mental and moral development of a large number of children at once. This is a nervous and exciting activity that requires considerable mental strength. That is why the teacher will surely enjoy the gift that will help her relax and take care of herself a little.
Not everyone is happy with standard perfume sets with shampoos and other bath, shower and bath accessories. After all, you can’t know for sure which aromas she will like, and besides, it’s too beaten.
However, a present for the soul and body can be made: give her a certificate in a famous cosmetic boutique. The age of the woman does not play any role at all - having such a coupon, anyone can choose for themselves something necessary!
An original gift will be a certificate in a spa or beauty salon. Surely after tiring and hard work with other people's children, any woman will be very pleased to receive a relaxing massage in their entrance, combined with a complex of care procedures.
Inexpensive and memorable options
Unfortunately, not always finances allow you to purchase expensive gifts for the teacher, but this is not a reason to be upset. There are many budget, but at the same time necessary and pleasant gifts that can be useful to the birthday girl and cause her the most positive emotions.
It would seem that a notebook or a diary is the most common gift, but the teacher constantly notes something, leaves notes, keeps lists so as not to lose sight of any details of the group’s life. And to make such notes in a stylish expensive notebook will be a joy. If possible, give her handmade notebook - for sure it will become a regular “guest” on the teacher’s desk.
It has long been said that the best gift is a book. If you know what kind of literature your teacher likes, which authors he prefers, boldly give her prose or poetry, you can even get a collection of works together with other parents.
But you should not give books about pedagogy and child psychology - the teacher can take this as a hint of his unsuitability.
A real memorable gift will be vintage photo album. Order it to the master, pick only the warmest and kindest photos - the teacher will be very pleased to leaf through it and remember her wonderful group.
For a birthday, a good teacher can be presented family tree. After all, a group is a real family, you can make a tree with your own hands or purchase, and such a gift will pleasantly amaze any woman.
A nice and inexpensive present is a hand-painted mug with a plate. All that is needed from you is to purchase a set of dishes and paints for painting on glass, as well as contours and stencils.
There is an opinion that money is the best gift. However, this issue is purely individual in nature, therefore Each parent must decide it based on their own knowledge of the caregiver. But it would be better if such an option would be considered more likely as a backup, but not the main one.
Money is faceless, so if you want to leave a really good memory about yourself, then it is better to choose something more creative. Moreover, such an offering is often perceived as a bribe, and neither you nor she needs such problems.
The choice of a gift should be approached deliberately - it will be quite out of place to ask another teacher or nanny in advance what the woman dreams of and what she is waiting for. And of course, remember that any educator is first and foremost a person, and only then a teacher, therefore, presenting your gift, do not skimp on kind words - it will not be difficult for you, and the birthday girl will be infinitely pleased.
The original cake is a great addition to any gift. Ideas for designing a sweet presentation for the educator are presented in the next video.
