LIFE

It's nearly halfway through the school year and *finally* winter break is about to begin! You’ve probably been scrambling to finish up your work while also getting your holiday shopping done. Sure, you know what you’re getting most of your family and friends but what about your teacher?

They do a lot of work for you and you see them practically every day, and, since it's the season of giving, there's no doubt that it would mean a lot to your teacher if you showed your appreciation for them with a present. So, here are a few fun gift ideas that won’t break the bank will *definitely* make your teacher smile.

Gift card

No matter who the present is for, you can never go wrong with a gift card. Just 10 or 15 dollars to Amazon or Starbucks is perfectly fine. You can even print out or make a cute gift card holder to give to them as well!

Mug

There is *nothing* better than a warm cup of hot chocolate, tea, or coffee on a cold winter day. Give your teacher a super cute mug with a fun quote to show them you care!
