A lot of people on my Facebook feed posted these elaborate Pinterest inspired gifts. Shadow boxes, shapes made out of pencils, banners, a “teacher tower” (made from office supplies…)
All were lovely.
But not something that I would ever make. I am a NC (non-crafter) after all.
So what did my children’s teachers get?
Yup.
Chocolate.
Chocolate for all!
Because who doesn’t like chocolate?

Hey, if I were a teacher I think I'd prefer a chocolate bar over a tower of supplies any day! Plus, who are these people who have time to come up with these elaborate gifts? I can barely bathe myself.
ReplyDeleteI don't ever remember Teacher Appreciation Week when my kids were in school. Is this a new Hallmark holiday? The teachers received gifts at Christmas....I don't remember if the kids gave them anything at the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteYou can NEVER go wrong with chocolate, in my humble opinion!
I would give every kid an A who gave me chocolate!!!
ReplyDeleteSeems like the perfect thing to us! :) YUM!-The Dose Girls
ReplyDeleteNot a teacher but if I were, chocolate and coffee and gift cards all the way!
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with chocolate!
ReplyDeleteChocolate is always a win in my book!
ReplyDeleteI think they appreciated the chocolate just as much as they appreciated everything else! :-)

ReplyDeleteThat is the first time I've seen 'NC' lol! I am a WC (wannabe crafter). Chocolate is a great gift, always!
ReplyDeleteAh we are so similar. I filled a jar with candy. Your note looks like a good idea too, so thank you for the extra inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYou know I bet the teachers like your gift just as much as the others as really, who doesn't like chocolate? Now have to go eat some.. mmm
ReplyDeleteMy kids teachers got leftover Valentine's chocolate. You beat me by a mile.
ReplyDeleteSounds fine by me - a lot better than another glass apple
ReplyDeleteThat is okay. You know what is important.
ReplyDeleteApples may be the hallmark for teachers...but I bet there isn't a teacher alive who didn't wish it were chocolate instead. Good work!
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone would complain about chocolate!
ReplyDeleteChocolate is a great gift!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea it was teacher appreciation week! Good choice for a gift :)
ReplyDeleteI don't even like kids, but after reading your post, I'm considering becoming a teacher just so I can get chocolate as a gift.
ReplyDeleteIt tastes so much better when it's free.
Can I teach your kids? I'd love to get chocolate. I get office supplies from the school, that's how office supplies work. Give me sugar to get me through the day!
ReplyDeleteConfession...I fully expect my husband to buy me chocolate (or something equally awesome) for teacher appreciation...I teach our kids...it counts, right?!
