Every day to teach kids something new, to be a strict mentor and at the same time a good friend, able to understand and console a child in the absence of a mother, is not an easy job of a kindergarten teacher. What to give in gratitude to your beloved teacher, read in this article.
Selection rules
Choosing a gift, I want to wholeheartedly thank the teacher, who is affectionate and attentive to each child. In order for the gift to be necessary and sincerely please the recipient, it is necessary to remember some important subtleties when choosing.
The teacher is not a mechanical iron nanny, but a living person. She has her own problems, her own personal life and family, which he also cares about. If you relate to your teacher carefully, with the help of a gift you can solve his certain life problems.
An educator of any age is primarily a woman, and like all the fairer sex, she will not remain indifferent to things that touch a woman’s heart.
Do not give the teacher too personal things that each person chooses only to his taste.
- Cosmetical tools. Visually, it is difficult to determine what type of skin a woman has, whether she is allergic to the cosmetics that you present to her.
- Alcohol. You can give a bottle of your favorite wine or champagne only to a well-known or close person, but not to the teacher.
- Perfumery. If you do not know what aromas a woman prefers, do not rush to buy perfumes for her. It will be ugly of you.
- Dear jewelry. Jewelry may not be liked, and jewelry is too expensive and not always an appropriate gift.
- Clothing.You should not give the teacher outerwear, no matter how expensive and stylish it may be. No need to buy underwear and tights as a gift.
Do not give gifts of dishes or cutlery, and not at all because it is a bad omen. If your teacher has been working in a kindergarten for a long time, he probably has a whole collection of sets, vases, and other dining and kitchen utensils at home. You do not need to give souvenirs, figurines, watches and other trinkets that will be dustless on the shelves.
Do not give money to the teacher, especially on traditional holidays. This will put the mentor in an awkward position. Expensive gifts from parents are best presented for an anniversary or graduation party.
Be sure to prepare an interesting congratulation to the teacher from the graduates themselves. A gift from the children can be a farewell song, a small scene played out about the life of the group, touching verses, postcards made by the hands of children.
Find out what your carer is doing. A gift, taking into account interests and hobbies, will not leave her indifferent. Get interested in the professional issues of the garden and your group. A good teacher always lives with the problems of his children's team. Your participation and help in solving them can also be a wonderful gift for the educator.
Don’t give parents books on self-development of such a plan - “how to become better”, “how to be kinder”, “how to learn to love children”. This may be taken as a hint of lack of professionalism. Also offensive may be perceived publications on the topic "how to become beautiful," "be happy," and other books with a similar theme.
If the teacher is categorically against gifts personally for yourself, make a gift for the group that will be interesting for the kids and useful for the employee of the institution. This will greatly delight the educator and make his work more enjoyable and fruitful.
Choose a gift with a feeling of sincere gratitude and deep respect for your teacher, and then your gift will bring only joy and the most pleasant emotions.
Original gifts
Unusual and original gifts always make a vivid impression. Among the creative options presented here, you can pick up something for your teacher.
Sweet surprise
Eating something sweet is sometimes very healthy. This is a great way to cheer up, so giving an unusual sweet surprise to an educator is an excellent idea. Order a bouquet or a sweet composition for a teacher from a good suite designer.
Presenting an ordinary, even the most expensive box of chocolates is not as interesting as giving a stunning beauty a sweet surprise.
Options for sweet compositions are very diverse:
- chic hand-made bouquets;
- stunning compositions in baskets, hat boxes;
- very unusual bouquets on transparent glasses;
- cute animal figures: hedgehogs, bunnies, bears;
- cars, carriages, hearts;
- compositions in the form of books and musical instruments.
Flowers made by corrugated paper masters are so realistic that they can be confused with living ones, so the bouquet presented by you will please the teacher for a long time after the candies are eaten.
Handmade chocolate
For your beloved teacher, you can order wonderful chocolate figurines, handmade paintings and sweets with the inscription you wish in the confectionery workshop. The filling and chocolate itself can be chosen for every taste: bitter, dark, milk, white. You can order chocolate products without sugar.
Unusually beautiful handmade cake
Everyone knows that a product made by a highly professional confectioner is not only surprisingly tasty, but also very beautiful. Develop a stunning cake design with the master, and your teacher will be simply shocked by its beauty.
You can give a cake for a birthday, anniversary, March 8, both from yourself and from the whole group, ordering a product with photo printing on edible paper with the image of a teacher and children.
Fruit bouquet
Food floristry is not only bouquets of sweets, but also of fruits and vegetables. If you want to surprise the teacher, give a fruit composition of bright, ripe and aromatic fruits. This can be done for any occasion. It is not only creative, but also very nice and tasty.
If desired, you can combine sweets and fruits. Fruit ornaments carved using the carving technique look amazing in compositions.
Flowers
A bouquet of flowers for the holiday seems to us a traditional gift. If you order a commercial bouquet, assembled by a good florist from the teacher’s favorite flowers, especially if they do not bloom at this time of the year, emotions about this simply cannot be expressed in words.
It will be like a real fairy tale if on March 8 or New Year you give a woman a bouquet of lilacs, peonies or lilies of the valley.
Handmade soap
A set of original handmade soap is a wonderful souvenir that you can simply keep as a keepsake or use it with pleasure. Be sure to choose a good quality product with a neutral smell with the addition of natural and healthy ingredients.
Animal
If you know that the teacher dreams of a pet, and you are absolutely sure that at the last moment he will not give up his desire and will gladly accept a living creature as a gift, you can safely present the desired treasure.
Love for animals is one of the greatest feelings on Earth. Finding a new friend, thank you for this wonderful gift, the teacher will keep his whole life in his heart.
Toys
You can present an original handmade toy as a souvenir. Wonderful fluffy animals, knitted from wool or knitted, do not leave anyone indifferent. You can buy such a wonderful craft in stores where handmade products are sold, or on the trading floors of craftsmen on the Internet.
Emotions and impressions
Fulfillment of a dream is a wonderful gift for a preschool teacher. You can consider the following options:
- give a ticket to a theater or a concert of your favorite artist;
- buy a certificate for attending a master class that a teacher would like to attend;
- organize an excursion to an interesting place for the teacher, where he dreamed of visiting;
- order a gift edition of books interesting to him.
Budget options
If you want to make a gift personally from yourself, you can choose an excellent budget option for a presentation.
Umbrella
This is not the most expensive, but a very necessary gift, which your teacher will use with great pleasure. The colors of the umbrellas are so bright and varied that you can choose the right accessory for every taste.
Thermo mug
The work of the educator requires a lot of attention and vigilance. It is impossible to leave the children, so the desire to drink hot tea or coffee remains beyond the possibilities. Your gift - a mug that keeps the drink hot, will solve this problem.
It will be convenient for the teacher and safe for children.
A vase for flowers
A cute flower vase will always come in handy. She will decorate the room and will please the teacher. You can give it along with a modest bouquet. Even the simplest flowers create a cozy atmosphere and good mood around.
Indoor flower
Without houseplants, our homes seem soulless. If the teacher is an enthusiastic florist, present a plant with which she will gladly replenish her collection. Indoor flowers will perfectly decorate your group if the teacher leaves a pot in kindergarten.
Record Disc
Favorite music will give joy and good mood. In your free time, the teacher will be happy to listen to the disc you donated.
Certifications
Gift certificates for a certain amount are a very convenient gift option that allows you to choose the recipient what he himself wants. You can give a certificate for the purchase of small equipment: flash drives, disks, spare batteries are never superfluous.
The teacher will be pleased with the certificate for the purchase of cosmetics. You can choose a cream, mascara, lipstick, powder. Let the purchase be small, but worthwhile and meeting the tastes of the woman herself.
A gift certificate for a purchase at a bookstore will be helpful. The teacher will choose interesting and necessary books for him.
Newspaper or Magazine Subscription
Give your mentor a subscription to a magazine or newspaper necessary for work. Most teachers write professional periodicals to improve their skills.
Subscribing to your favorite magazine for the soul will be a pleasant and welcome surprise.
Tea or coffee gift set
