Every day to teach kids something new, to be a strict mentor and at the same time a good friend, able to understand and comfort a child in the absence of a mother is a difficult job of a kindergarten teacher. What to give as a sign of gratitude to your favorite teacher, read in this article.
Selection rules
Choosing a gift, I want with all my heart to thank the teacher, who is affectionate and attentive to each child. In order for the gift to be necessary and sincerely pleased the addressee, it is necessary when choosing to remember some important subtleties.
The teacher is not a mechanical iron nanny, but a living person. She has her own problems, her personal life and family, which he also cares about. If you treat your teacher carefully, with the help of a gift you can solve his certain life problems.
A teacher of any age is primarily a woman, and like all women of the weaker sex, she will not remain indifferent to the things that touch the female heart.
Do not give the tutor too much personal things that each person chooses only to his taste.
- Cosmetics. Visually, it is difficult to determine what type of skin a woman has, if she has an allergy 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 an educator.
- Perfumery. If you do not know what fragrances a woman prefers, do not rush to buy perfume for her. It will be ugly on your part.
- Expensive decorations. Jewelry may not like, and jewelry - too expensive and not always appropriate gift.
- Clothing. It is not necessary to give the teacher outerwear, no matter how expensive and stylish it may be. No need to buy as a gift underwear and tights.
It is not worth giving the dishes or cutlery, and not at all because it is a bad omen. If your teacher has been working in kindergarten for a long time, he will probably have a whole collection of dinner sets, bowls and other dining and kitchen utensils at home. No need to give souvenirs, figurines, watches and other trinkets, which will uselessly gathering dust on the shelves.
Do not give the teacher money, especially on traditional holidays. This will put the mentor in an awkward position. It is better to present expensive gifts from parents for an anniversary or graduation holiday.
Be sure to prepare an interesting greeting to the teacher from the graduates themselves. A farewell song, a small play about the life of the group, touching poems, postcards made by the children can be a gift from children.
Find out what your teacher is interested in. A gift with the interests and hobbies will not leave her indifferent. Be interested in the professional problems of the garden and your group. A good teacher is always living problems of their children's team. Your participation and help in their decision can also be a wonderful gift for the educator.
It is not worth giving books on self-development of such a plan from parents - “how to become better”, “how to be kinder”, “how to learn to love children”. This can be taken as a hint of lack of professionalism. Also offensive can be perceived publications on the topic "how to become beautiful", "be happy" and other books with a similar theme.
If the teacher is categorically opposed to gifts personally for yourself, make a gift for the group that will be interesting to the kids and useful for the employee of the children's institution. By this you will greatly please the caregiver 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 for the gifts offered here, you can choose something for your teacher.
Sweet surprise
Eating something sweet is sometimes very helpful. This is a great way to cheer up, so giving an unusual sweet surprise to a caregiver is an excellent idea. Order a bouquet or a sweet composition for a teacher from a good designer.
To present an ordinary, even the most expensive box of chocolates is not as interesting as presenting a stunning beauty with a sweet surprise.
Variants of sweet compositions are very diverse:
- chic hand bouquets;
- awesome 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 by craftsmen are so realistic that they can be confused with live ones, so the bouquet presented by you will please the teacher for a long time after the sweets have been eaten.
Handmade chocolate
For your favorite tutor in the pastry shop you can order wonderful figurines made of chocolate, paintings and chocolates with the inscription you wish. The filling and the chocolate itself can be chosen for every taste: bitter, dark, milky, white. You can order chocolate products without sugar.
Unusually beautiful handmade cake
Everyone knows that a product made by a highly professional pastry chef is not only amazingly tasty, but also very beautiful. Develop a stunning cake design with the master, and your caregiver will be simply overwhelmed by its beauty.
You can give a cake for a birthday, anniversary, March 8, both from yourself and from the whole group, by ordering a product with a photo printing on edible paper with the image of a caregiver and children.
Fruit bouquet
Food floristics are not only bouquets from sweets, but also from fruits and vegetables. If you want to surprise the caregiver, give a fruit composition of bright, ripe and fragrant fruits. You can do this for any holiday. It is not only creative, but still very nice and tasty.
If desired, you can combine sweets and fruits. The decorations made of fruits, 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 your favorite caretaker's flowers, especially if they do not bloom at this time of 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 just keep for memory or be happy to use. 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 tutor 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 give the coveted treasure.
Love for animals is one of the greatest feelings on Earth. When finding a new friend, the teacher will thank you for this wonderful gift and will keep his life in his heart.
Toys
You can give an original handmade toy as a keepsake. Remarkable fluffy little animals, made of wool or knitted, do not leave anyone indifferent.You can buy such a wonderful hand-made article in the stores where handmade goods are sold, or on the trading floors of craftsmen on the Internet.
Emotions and impressions
A dream come true is a great gift for a preschool teacher. You can consider the following options:

Umbrella
This is not the most expensive, but very necessary gift that your teacher will use with great pleasure. The colors of umbrellas are so bright and varied that you can choose a suitable accessory for every taste.
Thermocup
The work of the teacher requires a lot of attention and vigilance. It is impossible to leave children, therefore the desire to drink hot tea or coffee remains beyond the limits of the possible. Your gift - a mug that keeps the drink hot, will solve this problem.
It will be convenient for the caregiver and safe for children.
Flower vase
Cute flower vase is always useful. It will decorate the room and will please the caregiver. You can give it along with a modest bouquet. Even the most simple flowers create a cozy atmosphere and good mood around.
Room flower
Without indoor plants, our homes seem soulless. If the teacher is a keen florist, present a plant with which she will gladly replenish her collection. Potted flowers will perfectly decorate your group if the caregiver leaves the pot in kindergarten.
CD with records
Favorite music will give joy and great mood. In his free time from work, the teacher will be happy to listen to the disc presented by you.
Certificates
Gift certificates for a certain amount - a very convenient gift option that allows you to choose the recipient that he wishes. 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 meet the tastes of the woman herself.
A gift certificate for a book store purchase would be helpful. The teacher will choose interesting and necessary books for him.
