Sheets were sent home to the children with a craft that was relevant to the class for them to work on and two plain sheets of paper to make a card for the teachers which would then be bound into a book. Additionally, we were given information with both of the teachers' favorites. These were crucial!
I wanted to get his main teacher more than one gift for her insane hard work and I didn't want to get gift cards to her favorite places as I expected most families would be doing that. So moving off of interests, I began to look around.
I finally settled on a miniature succulent terrarium with a bee charm in it from EdenCondensed on etsy for her first gift. I wanted something earthy for the very earth friendly teacher that was also low maintenance. She loves bees so the bee charm was a must. EdenCondensed responded very quickly to my initial inquiry and the time from order request to receipt was very expedient. Her manner was very professional as well as the packaging.
For her second gift, I wanted to touch on as many interests as possible. Cole and I found this hand painted feather bookmark from etsy seller marymare58 and instantly fell in love. We requested a bee on a purple flower (favorite color) with a purple backing.
This is the picture that marymare58 sent me to show her progress. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the final product before gifting it, but his teacher absolutely loved it and took a deal of time to express that to Cole, pointing out all the things she loved about it. Money very well spent! I was incredibly satisfied with the speed of which the item arrived (being created upon order - it arrived in under 2 weeks), and the communication from the seller.
Finally, I asked Cole what he'd like to get for the classroom T.A. He wanted to get her a necklace because "she wears them a lot." With the information of her favorite colors and her love of art in mind, we found this necklace from etsy seller cutependants.
I was shocked at how beautiful the necklace was in person. It didn't come in particularly beautiful packaging but I re-boxed it in an unused velvet necklace box I happened to have on hand from a past gift. The seller and I didn't communicate but shipping was prompt.
I had so much fun shopping for Cole's teachers and I felt that the costs were very reasonable for the products received. I would buy all three items again.
