So, the countdown is on at our house…7 days until summer break officially begins! My daughter will finish up her second year as a middle-schooler and wanted to give her teacher’s a little gift for all their hard work.
So here is the Teacher Gift we came up with…
Now, middle school is not about “cute” little gifts {as I was told! }, so this simple gift incorporates all the essentials…
Coffee,coffee, and coffee!
Here is what we did…
I used a porcelaine 150 , fine tip pen to write on these dollar store mugs. I chose a definition of “teacher” ! I followed the directions on the pen for curing the lettering. You could also use a Sharpie pen to do this.
Next, I found these adorable little “Thanks A Latte” printables over at Skip To My Lou! I also cut out simple brown cardstock gift tags for my daughter to write a personal note to each of her teachers. Each mug was filled with brown, shredded paper from the dollar store, and a coffee gift card was place inside. Finally, we placed each mug in a cello bag and tied it closed with jute twine and the tags!
A fabulous gift idea to get the kids involved in as well!
This end of the year teacher’s gift is….
Simple, stylish, and not a wee bit “little kid”! Oh, and if you happen to be one of my daughter’s teachers…please act surprised when she hands it to you!!

I think this is a great middle school teacher gift. I always struggle with giving something to my Jr. High son’s teachers because there are so many of them…plus also, he rarely remembers to turn in his assignments let alone give a gift to his teacher that his mommy sent him with! But these are great! I’m sure they will love them.
This is super cute! I love all your teacher gift ideas this year!
