Our Top 5 Gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week {PLUS 5 Awesome Giveaways}

Teacher appreciation week is May 5-10 and we are ready to shower our teachers with love and appreciation. To celebrate the date (5/5), we have selected 5 awesome, budget-friendly gifts that any teacher would love. We are also giving away these 5 gift ideas to 5 lucky winners so don’t forget to enter for your chance to win below.

The first giveaway is courtesy of Permission Pads. Mindy started her company to help schools raise money more efficiently by selling these check-off-style permission pads. These fantastic pads allow you to simply check off boxes of the permission you need to give your child for the day and sign your name. If you are anything like me, writing a note to my sons’ teachers turns into a major morning hassle. I forget to write the note ahead of time, then never seem to have a sheet of paper on hand and the only writing utensil I can find is a paint brush or crayon – quite embarrassing! These note pads are simple, yet stylish. You can customize your pads to reflect your child’s interests or add your school’s logo and sell them for your next fundraiser. Don’t forget to add a magnetic strip so you can hang it on your fridge for easy access. Lastly, Permission Pads is extending a 20% off coupon (good until 5/15) to all our readers. Coupon Code: 11MAGLANE. Click {here} for styles.

This next gift idea and giveaway comes from Davina at MiniInk Finger Prints. Davina is giving away a Digital Finger Print Tree to one very lucky winner. I actually have ordered three of these trees to give as gifts this year. It is such a lovely keepsake and I know my teachers will be touched. I think the kids are going to love finger printing the tree as well and I cannot wait to see and hear their reactions. Check out all of Davina’s beautiful designs {here}.

Mara Oatman Designs is an innovative design studio that specializes in handcrafted wedding stationery and perfectly coordinated accessories. She creates beautiful note cards, note pads, invitations and thank you cards. Mara is also participating in our giveaway by contributing a set of personalized notecards to one lucky winner. These notecards are perfect for Teacher Appreciation Week. I am not sure about your teachers but ours always write thank you notes. I like to provide at least one set of custom stationery to all my teachers to replenish their supplies. Mara’s custom line of apple teacher note cards are perfect for Teacher Appreciation Week but you should check out all she has to offer {here}. Lastly, I just have to comment on Mara’s packaging – it is just adorable!!

Our next pick is this amazing 2014/2015 Teacher Planner from Kristina at Plum Paper Designs. Kristina designs the most beautiful personalized planners in a variety or colors and patterns. She can customize a planner by adding a photo, extra note pages, contact pages and additional months if one year isn’t enough. In addition to their standard planner, Plum Paper Designs also offers planners for weddings, meals, fitness, teachers or students. I am so in love with Plum Paper Designs Planners that we are discussing customizing an 11MagnoliaLane planner! It is obvious why this is a great gift for any teacher – check out all Plum Paper Designs Planners {here}.

Last but definitely not least is another beautiful digital print from Annaka over at Princess Snap. You may remember Princess Snap from Atlas’s Royal Celebration {click here} as she created the most beautiful first birthday chalkboard art. Annaka did it again by creating this “The Best Teacher” Chalkboard Style Printable. This would look amazing on any teacher’s desk especially in a white or brightly colored frame.
