Show your child’s teacher how amazing they are with a fun End of Year gift!
Today I’m sharing another idea for showing your appreciation to your child’s teacher at the end of the year (you can see my other idea for a Target gift card HERE)!
I am a big fan of giving gift cards since they are small (easy for the teacher to get home) and useful (teachers LOVE gift cards!). But my creative side cringes at the blah-ness of a regular ole’ gift card. I’m sure many of you can relate here.
So here’s a cute little way to give a gift card using a small tin bucket I found in the dollar section at Target!
Everyone loves checking off things from their bucket list, right? Side note: if your child has already gone skydiving I guess you need to find a red marker and check that one off as well. 🙂

Here’s all you need to make this Teacher Gift Idea:
- small bucket
- Bucket List tag printed out and trimmed (K-6th grades available), download HERE.
- black cardstock for matting the tag (optional)
- corner rounder (optional)
- hole punch
- ribbons, twine, etc. for embellishment
- filler for bucket (crinkle paper shreds, candy, etc)
Then you just need to put it all together as pictured and you’re all set!
It’s easy, satisfies the creative side of gift-giving AND you give the teacher something he/she actually wants! Win-win-win!

I am a Kindergarten teacher and have several of those little buckets in my classroom holding pencils, expo markers, sharpies, lunch sticks…everything! Any teacher would LOVE this gift and would put that cutie little bucket to good use too! 🙂
I saw someone post for preschool. I would love one too if you made it
Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea and the Target one. I used them for teacher gifts this year. You can see them on my blog. Of course, I linked back to your wonderful blog. Thanks again and happy summer.

Hi Landee!
i just love your creations and I just commented on your Target gift card printable. I sent you an email and am hoping to be able to use this printable and the Target printable for gifts from the entire class for teacher appreciation week next week. Is there any chance you could email me and editable format of this document as well or make the following changes and email them to me? I would need it to state “us and our” instead of “me and my.”
Thank you again for blessing us with your creativity!!!
Hi,
Anyway you could make one thats says 7th grade, and rock it with my favorite tutor, PLEASE?
thanks, Niccole
Great idea! This one caught my eye and I just had to recreate it for my kids’ teachers this year. Then I realized the Now it’s Time to Relax tag/cup idea I used a few years ago come from your blog too. I must be a huge fan 😉
