Honor Your Child’s Teacher with Silk Flower Arrangements

Teacher appreciation week is just around the corner. From May 6 through 10, take the time to let your children’s teachers know just how much you appreciate them with a thoughtful gift. Here are three great gift ideas that let your teacher know you care. Check out these ideas for silk flower arrangements and school supplies.

Cymbidium Orchids in Acrylic Water

Silk Flower Arrangements

Silk flower arrangements make a great teacher appreciation gift. Teachers are out of their classrooms all summer long and silk plants require no maintenance over summer and Christmas breaks.  If you are looking for the perfect arrangement, consider a silk lilac arrangement or cymbidium orchids. If you have multiple teachers to honor, consider an arrangement that comes in a two-pack, such as the silk dahlia or mum.

Teacher Stock Pile

As school districts continue to make budget cuts, it is the teachers that really pay the price. Not only are they not getting raises, but when budget cuts happen, classroom supplies are the first thing to go. Many teachers are purchasing things like crayons, paper, markers, and activities out of their own personal accounts. Give them a bit of a break by purchasing a beautiful basket and filling it with classroom essentials. With one trip to your local office supply store you can easily fill a basket with construction paper, glue, pencils, pens, crayons, markers, tape, and other supplies the teacher may be running low on.

Classroom Collaborations

If there is a room mom that helps to organize special events, there is a great gift idea that you can get all the students in on. Have one parent bring in a vase. Then each child brings in a single flower. When each student comes in they can present their teacher with their stem and once every student has arrived, the teacher has a beautiful floral arrangement to enjoy.
