Apple Teacher Gift With Links


As Teacher Appreciation Day approaches, finding the perfect gift to express gratitude to our educators can be challenging. However, with a little creativity and DIY spirit, you can create a meaningful and personalized gift for your favorite teacher. One idea that is sure to make them smile is to use turn these adorable apple-shaped containers into a thoughtful gift filled with goodies.


Materials Needed:

  • Apple-shaped container (can be found here: Oriental Trading or Amazon )

  • Acrylic paint or spray paint in red or green (optional)

  • Paintbrushes (if using acrylic paint)

  • Clear sealant spray (optional)

  • Ribbon or tulle

  • Scissors

  • Gift filler

  • Goodies to fill the container (see suggestions below)

Step 1: Prepare the Container, if the apple-shaped container you found is not already in the color you desire, you can paint it with acrylic paint or spray paint. Choose a vibrant red or green color to resemble a classic apple. If using acrylic paint, apply several thin coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Once the paint is dry, you can also apply a clear sealant spray to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish.

Step 2: Add Decorative Touches To add some extra flair to your apple container, consider adding some decorative touches. You can tie a ribbon or twine around the stem of the apple to create a bow, or attach a small tag with a handwritten note expressing your appreciation. You can also add small stickers, decals, or other embellishments to customize the container further and make it truly unique.

Step 3: Fill the Container with Goodies Now comes the fun part - filling the apple container with goodies that will delight your teacher! Here are some ideas for items you can include:

  1. Sweet Treats: Fill the apple container with an assortment of delicious treats such as chocolates, candies, or cookies. You can even make homemade treats for an extra special touch.

  2. Stationery Supplies: Teachers always need pens, pencils, sticky notes, and other stationery supplies. Fill the container with a variety of colorful supplies that your teacher can use in their classroom.

  3. Gift Cards: Show your appreciation by including a gift card to a local coffee shop, bookstore, or restaurant. Your teacher can enjoy a treat or a meal on you.

  4. Handwritten Notes: Encourage your child to write a heartfelt note expressing their gratitude to their teacher. These personal messages will mean a lot to your teacher and show how much your child appreciates their hard work.

  5. Classroom Supplies: Teachers often spend their own money on classroom supplies. Fill the apple container with supplies like glue sticks, markers, or stickers that your teacher can use in their classroom.

  6. Earrings: Here is the link for the cute teacher and Fri-Yay earrings I placed in my apple.

With a little creativity and thoughtfulness, you can turn a simple apple-shaped container into a thoughtful teacher appreciation gift that your favorite teacher will cherish. Personalize it with paint, decorations, and a heartfelt note, and fill it with goodies that will bring a smile to your teacher's face. Remember, the most meaningful gifts are those that come from the heart, so be sure to express your appreciation sincerely. Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! #teacherappreciation #teacherlife
