Teacher appreciation or Appreciating teachers

Now, let me make something clear first- I don't like the concept of teacher appreciation day/week!

Why?

Because it has certain non-pleasant ring for me, like it's more of an obligation than a real appreciation. That's why whenever I can, I avoid it and I give my appreciation gifts at other times. Like now for example.

So, this year I thought of an interesting present for the end of the year for  my son's teachers. 

I asked him to draw pictures for his teachers with watercolor pencils, then I helped him to glue them to the cards.

   

Then he brushed them here and there with water and you can see the results. 

 

We recently replanted our garden and I have a lot of beautiful and fragrant hyacinths and I thought, what a nice present they'll make, especially since they are from our own garden!  My son helped me out and we put the bulbs in a nice box with explanation what they are and how to take care of them:

We had 2 bag designs :

And here is the whole thing:- bag, card and a gift card inside, envelope, butterfly, a scented candle and a notebook.

I hope they like them!! :-)
