This video is so spot on! I'm a teacher and anything my students gift me makes me burst out into tears. Even a hug or a handwritten note! Makes the long nights of planning and grading so worth it!
I was thinking instead of the letter you could also glue on a little flower or do some sparklies or bling. Super idea! Teachers are special. How can you thank someone who has done so much and work so hard for these kids! Many thanks and hugs to all teachers!
As a middle school history teacher I can confirm, yes all these ideas are amazing and I would love all of them! I can also confirm we teach because we love it so even a hug or note is very much appreciated. I have several that my students have wrote me over the years and I still cherish them!
I didnt know you were a teacher but I am SO happy to know that you are one. Those kids are sooo lucky to have you as their teacher! Thanks for all the ideas. I LOVE my kids teachers. They are awesome! Teachers are God's Gifts - I truly believe that
Your Chanel has been huge money saver for me. I run on a tight budget because of other obligations. Yet I like to give some gifts to my kids teachers and bus drivers for their work. These small tokens of appreciation mean a lot to them. I have a budget of max 10$ for each person and am able to give some lovely gifts to them. Starbucks 10$ gift cards are a great idea.
I absolutely LOVE your channel. So many ideas and EXTREMELY affordable. I'm a single mom of a 16, 12 and 7 year old and your videos have pushed me to do what I have been leaving for "later" --- I am very creative but needed that little shove. :) Plus, I just got my last dollar and 94 cent container/basket/tray haul from Dollar Tree and Walmart. My bedroom closet and kitchen are done!! I should send you pictures!!
Thank you for the video and ideas! I almost cried when you said that teachers love their kids. That is so sweet and I appreciate all the work teachers put in teaching the kids. ♥
I'm a middle school principal and a former middle school History teacher. I'm also a crafter and teacher deserve to be appreciated, especially the ones who work with 11 a 14 year olds. I love this, thanks for the ideas!
I crochet so my son's teachers always get a cowl/scarf from me. They are always so thankful for handmade things. And when I'm at school for various things and I see his teachers, they always say "I wore your scarf to hockey last night and all the other moms were asking about it". So that makes me feel good. I get really nice acrylic yarn (no wool because of allergies) that are usually really bright fun colors at Joanns using my coupons. This year's yarn was cost me about $4 a skein. (the scarf that I picked uses only 1 skein so it's a $4 gift for me, minus my time).
love the pencils in a jar idea for my daughter's 3rd grade teacher! 😊 thank you for sharing this idea... and for the work you do, it's definitely not said enough how important and appreciated teachers are!
Thank you for this! This is my first year with a school age kiddo and I LOVE his teachers.. like seriously could cry I am so grateful for how kind and great they are lol. I especially like the stationary idea!
You prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
omg.....I think it would be fun and would love to see a Spanish class like video that would be awesome. I love your organization videos. all your videos and tips and tricks are awesome. thanks for all you do. It is inspiring and helps me out especially since I am ADHD and I don't do organization that well. I am working on new ideas you have posted to get my spring cleaning done....😉 Thanks again!!
Awww, now I think everyone wishes they had you for a teacher! I love the badge and pencil jar idea, so thoughtful:) Thanks for joining us for CRAFTmas!
Great ideas and bless your heart for teaching middle schoolers!! As a mom to 4 ...each one was crazier than the last during middle school.....sighJust found your channel and LOVE it!!
These are some really great ideas! Thank you for taking the time to do this video. It is very helpful to think you don't need to spend much to make a meaningful gift.
love love love these recommendations! please a video for families maybe?? have a family of 7 to gift a present and idk what to do I'm on a tighter budget this yr
I also loved Christmas ornaments that a child made or picked out for me. I did love the gift cards. 1 Mom made a small dessert sized plate of pieces of cheese with crackers. It was perfect for a lunch.
Very interesting - didn't know you were a middle school Spanish teacher! I'm a preschool teacher! I can relate to loving the kids so much that it doesn't matter and any little gift is the cutest and most appreciated thing! And God bless you for working with middle schoolers - definitely not my age group of choice, haha!
Thanks to this "craftmas" collab, I've found some people I hadn't been aware of before. I've just subscribed. They're WONDERFUL ideas for any types of little thank you gifts or party bags perhaps!! Thank you so much for sharing. Definitely going on my list. Have to share it too. Thanks.
You have the energy, enthusiasm and the warm and fuzzy personality that seems more suitable for PreK / Kinder. I'm surprised that you are a middle school teacher. Not that Middle schoolers don't need warm and fuzzy. In these days and times, they REALLY do - but they always want to appear to be so grown up. Have you ever done Prek/Kinder?
You have such a sweet heart and soul and it shows in all of your videos. Thank you for the tips! And thank you for your hard work as a teacher! I am sure your kids love you. How could they not? Merry Christmas.
Great video. This was very helpful. I'm an intern and my last day is approaching and I was looking for some nice gift ideas to show my appreciation. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness!! So many great ideas. Loved them all. Kathryn, I love all of your videos!! I cannot believe how many incredible crafts and ideas you come up with!! Seriously, amazing!! Love u so very much!! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family :)
Great ideas! The badge holder would even be great for someone who works in a hospital, I'm a clinical dietitian and that would be great for my ID/badge!
middle school Spanish teacher is maybe the last class I pictured you teaching lol I thought elementary school, maybe because how great you are with Carson
+BoomBangPow Haha! I love the little guys, too-- but I do 5th-8th grade. They are SO fun, and I love how different it is than spending time with Carson :)
I'm giving my daughter's teachers stationary & pens from Target dollar spot with another item or 2. Thank you for letting me know it was a good idea. I thought it would be too cheap.
I wanted to hit "like" just from the title of this video! Great suggestions! BTW, I sent my husband to the Dollar Tree for Christmas items. He picked up a variety of festive Santa hats for our guests to wear at our get together. Sadly, they are all way too small for our huge heads and southern hairstyles. lol
+Jeanne' Gates: my mom uses those dollar tree Santa hats as valances- she just safety pins them together & attaches them to the existing curtains or the curtain rod- maybe you don't have to let your husbands purchase go to waste!
Fabulous idea! I was gong to make or order a banner (bunting) for my dining room window. I'm going to try the Santa and elf hats. Your mom is so clever! :)
Thank you for the sweet ideas! Would it be possible for you to update the Etsy link for customizable stationary? It says that the item is no longer available.
I had no idea you were a middle school Spanish teacher! :D I've done some teaching in the past. Went to Spain for a school year once to teach English. :) Really loved it and made me appreciate teachers so much more! Cute gift ideas! ^_^
Eres profesora de Español??? Qué fuerte! Yo te sigo desde España!! In the next vídeo, could you give us a big Hola! to your Spanish followers?? Love your videos!
Hey Kathryn, lovely video as usual. Yo estudio espanol en el instituto y Me gusta mucho tus videos! Do upload Spanish teaching videos, I would love to learn from you :)
This video is so spot on! I'm a teacher and anything my students gift me makes me burst out into tears. Even a hug or a handwritten note! Makes the long nights of planning and grading so worth it!
+According to Andrea So true. YES!
You brought tears to my eyes when you said you love our kids!! We love you and all your work!!
Oh I am a Spanish teacher too. I teach from Kinder to 8th Grade and I love it. Thank you for your ideas.
I was thinking instead of the letter you could also glue on a little flower or do some sparklies or bling. Super idea! Teachers are special. How can you thank someone who has done so much and work so hard for these kids! Many thanks and hugs to all teachers!
All of your teacher gift ideas are budget friendly and practical. Once again you nailed it my friend! Muah!!!! :)))
it is teachers like you that truly make an impact on students and their futures. Thank you for being you!
+Natalie Lopez Aw, that's so sweet. Thanks, Natalie!
As a middle school history teacher I can confirm, yes all these ideas are amazing and I would love all of them! I can also confirm we teach because we love it so even a hug or note is very much appreciated. I have several that my students have wrote me over the years and I still cherish them!
Even at my age, I STILL have fond memories of various teachers from my youth as far back as Kindergarten! Thanks for the wonderful ideas! (as ALWAYS)
+beth f That's awesome, Beth!!
DoItOnaDime Do you have an email address where I can get your opinion on organizing an odd shaped pantry with photo attached?

I'm a teacher's aide and I can tell you, teachers don't get paid what they're worth, but they truly love what they do. Great ideas, thanks!!
Thanks for this awesome idea! I made a badge holder for my son's teacher for Christmas and she used it all year!! So easy to make and personalize!
