Welcome Back Teacher Appreciation Gifts to Kick Off the New School Year

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 11:16:33 -0400

Student and teachers alike feel a little nervous and anxious on the first day back to classes. It's time to get used to a new regimen after a whole summer away from school. You can say thank you in May, but in August, it's time to say welcome back! Put a smile on their face and get the year off to the right start - try one of these four ideas for surprising your teachers with welcome back appreciation gifts.

Caffeine buzz: Is any object in the teacher lounge more cherished than the coffee maker? Make the teacher's lounge, and the coffee, even nicer with brand new mugs. Outfit the lounge with a set of C-Handle 11 Oz. Ceramic Mugs. There's room to include your school's logo as well as a welcoming message. To make the surprise even better, provide bags of gourmet coffees and lay out a feast of muffins and pastries.
Hot or cold, it's ready to go: They've got their coffee in the break room, but they need coffee in the classroom, too! Travel mugs are a convenient way to bring along your beverage, whether driving in your car or grading papers after class. Something like the 16 oz Stainless Steel Travel Mug makes a handsome teacher gift with its modern, high-end look. You can make the mug even more special by attaching a note to the handle and putting a big bow on top. It can also be filled with candy or small school supplies.
A convenient carryall: You'd think they were about to go on an overseas trip with as much stuff as teachers have to carry around. Teachers are always in need of a sturdy tote bag to stay organized. The Extra Large Zippered Tote is a stylish bag featuring a large front color panel that's perfect for customizing. The Extra Large Zippered Tote is a fantastic gift all on its own, but you can make it even better by stashing some goodies inside. How about tucking in some notebooks, folders, and pens?
A place for everything, and everything in its place: Staying organized is how teachers stay sane. Tote bags with plenty of pockets, compartments, and dividers are a lifesaver. You can help keep your teachers extra-organized with an Eclipse Travel Tote. They'll love the special pockets that hold individual pens and pencils. Side mesh pockets are a convenient place to store a cell phone, PDA, or calculator. All those handy little pockets are just begging to be filled with some personalized school supplies before you give out these teacher gifts.

The first day of school is almost here, so it's time to get moving on your welcome back teacher gifts. A thoughtful gift paired with creative presentation is the winning combination.

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:41:40 -0400

Say Thanks to Teachers in Advance - with Promotional Products

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:56:50 -0400

Listen closely. Can you hear that? It's the sound of school bells ringing. Summer is drawing to a close. It's time for teachers, staff, and students to head back through the hallowed halls of learning.

The first few weeks of school set the tone for the entire year. If the atmosphere is one of energy and excitement, the feeling is sure to rub off on everyone. The start of a fresh year can be exhilarating, but it can also be hectic and stressful for teachers.

Getting students down to the business of learning after two months of sun and play isn't easy. A small gift from the school board or administration is a tangible warm welcome. Teacher appreciation gifts are usually given out at the end of the year. This fall, consider saying thank you in advance.

The best teachers are the ones who take pride in their work and in their school. Boost the morale in your school district by handing out items in your school colors featuring your mascot or motto.

Promotional products aren't just for businesses. Schools can turn to promotional product manufacturers and retailers for their gift and award needs, too. Promotional product companies offer many customizable school-related items.

Selecting a gift everyone will like might seem like a challenge. After all, your teachers have backgrounds and personalities as wide-ranging as your student population. Practical gifts are always appreciated.

For example, it's not just students that bring along their lunches. Many teachers want to eat healthy or aren't too enamored with cafeteria food. A high-quality lunch bag like the Pacific Trail Lunch Cooler has universal appeal.

Complete the set with a matching beverage container. Your teachers can keep their coffee on hand with a 16 oz #1 Selling Roadster Travel Mug. Gym teachers and coaches can tote along cold water in a 32 oz. Oasis Squeeze Bottle.

Now is also the time to start thinking about student awards. Award ceremonies aren't just end of the year affairs. Throughout the entire school year, occasions will arise for handing out special awards and prizes to students. A large, sturdy bag for carrying books and supplies will make a lasting impression.

Certificates are nice, but a bag like an Extra Large Zippered Tote lets them share their accomplishment with others. And, as a bonus, seeing a great prize like an attractive tote bag gives other students incentives to perform their best.
