So I was trying to come up with teacher gifts for both of his teachers. I wanted to get them something useful yet still thoughtful. I remember reading somewhere about gifts to NOT get your teachers. Real teachers chimed in and two of the things that I always remembered, nothing with apples and nothing with your child's picture on it ha!
I took these two plain boring clipboards...
and turned them into this!
I did these designs on the back of the clipboards so that the bumps from the letters wouldn't get in the way when they were written on. I also included a bunch of cute colorful clips, clamps, pens and notepads for each of the teachers. I figured this is something practical that they could actually use and still thoughtful because they were personalized.
What do you think??

What a great teacher gift. I have been scanning the internet for some inspiration. This is definitely one of the best and most practical gifts I have seen. I am thinking about sewing our preschool teacher a tote bag to haul all of her stuff back and forth in style!
Great idea!

I am visiting from NFF. I think the clipboards are a great idea. As a former elementary school teacher, I would be thrilled to get a gift like that. I always like to remember which students gave me something, so it would be great to include your child's name and the year somewhere. Maybe under the clip part? I have so many Christmas ornaments from students, it is hard to remember who gave them to me. One girl wrote her name on the back and every year when I take out that ornament I smile thinking of her.
