The school year is almost over. Time to say goodbye to that one teacher who made all the difference. A small gesture is the perfect way to say ‘thank you for everything’. And what better way to do that than with flowers and plants? These 5 original gifts are the perfect way to thank a teacher at the end of the school year!
1
Small houseplant in a pot
Surprise your teacher with a small houseplant in a (terracotta) pot. Go for a leafy eye-catcher with real wow factor, treat them to a plant for the classroom or their desk, or choose one of these 10 easy and hardy houseplants that are always a safe bet!
Choose a small plant so the gift is easy for your child to carry. You could also write a short, personal message on the plant pot in chalk.

Edible gift with flowers
Nothing is more special than a homemade gift made with love. Get creative together with your child(ren) by baking biscuits with floral prints, making chocolate with edible Violets, and/or preparing ‘thank you tea’ using dried Chrysanthemums.
Extra fun: package the biscuits, chocolate and/or tea in a beautiful jar, tin or little box.

Homemade card with dried flowers
Make a card with dried flowers together with your child(ren). Choose ready-made dried flowers or have a go at drying flowers yourself. Then let your child write a handwritten message on the card (if possible) to personally thank their teacher, perhaps adding a treasured memory and/or photo from the past school year.
Thank you for your fun and inspiring lessons and for taking such good care of us. I made this thank you gift especially for you!

Bouquet with a personal touch
Quite literally put your teacher in the spotlight with a bouquet to thank them for the past year. Choose their favourite flowers, for example, or pick blooms in shapes and colours that suit their personality. Need inspiration? These 5 flowers say ‘thank you’ perfectly. Make the bouquet even more personal by creating the vase yourself and/or attaching a handwritten note.
