Great Gift Idea for Teacher

This makes a great gift for a teacher, parent or grandparent. Anyone who loves kids and enjoys gardening will treasure it. This gift is designed for young children to do.

This gift is a 10" - 12" Terra Cotta pot with a plant in it. I know sounds kind of boring. But, it gets exciting when all the kids involved sign it. Use a thin permanent marker. Have them sign on the body of the pot, anywhere they want as long as it doesn't go over anyone else's name. Around the band of the pot, write the school or class and the year. If it is for parents or grandparents, write the family name or something catchy like "Oma and Granddad's kids" and the year.

Pick a plant that fills the pot. A 10" hanging basket with the hanger cut off works great. One gallon perennials are also a good fit. Try to pick a type of plant that is upright so it doesn't cover the names.

Add a fancy bow and some Sphagnum Moss to fill in around the top of the pot (if necessary) and voila! A beautiful and meaningful gift for a special someone to treasure.

Thanksgiving Flowers said...

My choice of gift idea for a teacher will be flowers. The ideal gift to give some one very special and close to your heart is to provide with fresh cut flowers. Giving flowers on different occasions has been a very long and old tradition.
