The end of the year is such a fun time to celebrate and recognize all our teachers for the amazing work they have done all year. One of the best ways to show gratitude is to spoil these amazing educators with some fun themed items. You can create these inexpensive themed sea-themed gifts with your teacher's favorite things, from candy to The Happy Planner essentials. These end of year gifts will leave a lasting summer memory with your favorite educator. Be sure to download the free themed "Sea" Ya Soon Have a Fun Summer gift tags here too!
To create these fun end of the year teacher gifts you will have to gather a few themed items. These bright colorful buckets are the perfect way to craft the summer beach theme we want. I love adding this bright colorful tissue to bring the festive look to the bucket. You can add different colors to each bucket. I decided to stick with the bright pink to have a contrasting bright color. I love incorporating items teachers can use in their classrooms as well as over the summer to plan for the upcoming school year.
You'll want to make sure to print out these fun summer themed gift tagsto hang from your teacher gift. I used jute cording to tie them from the bucket handles, however any ribbon will work. I love how these tags add a fun, personal touch to the baskets. You can add your name and the teacher's name to the tags as well.
The fun part of creating these gifts is adding all the teacher favorites to the bucket. I wanted to make sure I included themed items to bring my summer sea theme to life. Therefore, I added the fun sea plush animals to each basket. These are so fun because they all have velcro that allows them to hang from the buckets. I added these large fun swirl lollipops to bring in a sweet touch to the gift bucket. To complete the baskets I added some fun teacher items including Happy Planner Washi Tape, Stabilo Point Pens and colorful notepads. Any teacher that receives one of these gifts will surely be surprised and excited to use their new supplies!
