EASY PRACTICAL TEACHER GIFTS
Can you believe there's only about 2 months left in the school year?! It's time to start thinking about end of year gifts for teachers. I recently checked out Darice online and was amazed at the selection and great prices of products on the site! I was able to create 3 easy practical teacher gifts with a box of $40 in craft supplies from the site that they sent to me, with leftovers for more projects to boot!
Teaching can be stressful so I decided to focus on creating a relaxing aromatherapy experience with these teacher gifts. I was pleased to learn that Darice offers a wide variety of aromatherapy oils for use as fragrances for soap making and candle making and for creating reed diffusers. I chose a lavender essential oil because of lavender's calming effect and stress-relieving properties. The gifts I created are a mason jar soap dispenser filled with clear liquid hand soap that I scented with the lavender oil. In a larger purple mason jar, I created a pen holder that can double as a scent diffuser. You can create the pen holder with one mason jar and then use a second mason jar to create a separate scent diffuser to make this into 2 separate gifts. Use artificial succulents to top both for a calming, pretty display for teacher to enjoy on their desk.

I am a teacher and I love my students. I appreciate the thoughtfulness in gift giving, but I do not want physical gifts. I would rather parents give their children a book to read or spend time with them at the museum or sit down and really listen to them. I would rather the parents use the time, spent making a gift, for interacting with the child. Or the money spent on a gift for a good child's book. I am not unappreciative. The improvement your child will made by your investment in him/her is all the thanks I need.
