Fun and Frugal End-of-the-Year Gifts for Teachers

This blog post contains Amazon affiliate links.  Each purchase using those links earns me a few pennies to buy more Diet Coke, smelly markers, and day care for my kids.  Thanks for supporting a fellow teacher!

At the end of the school year, I always like to get my teammates something small as a "We made it! It's finally summer!" gift.  The thing is, by the end of the school year, I'm trying to keep costs down to save money for fun summer days.  I wanted to share a few of those ideas with you.  I think that each of these would be fun to gift your own teammates or your kids' teachers. 

Personalized Tumblers
I bought simple clear tumblers at Michaels, and I personalized them with my Cricut.  I added some filler and a few scratch off lottery tickets. You could also toss in some iced tea or lemonade mixes or even a fun silicone ice cube tray like this one.  Super easy and around $10 for each gift. 

 
Wine with Drink Floaties
This one is my favorite!  Last year, I found the cutest drink floaties at Target, and I added a small bottle of wine.  My teammates LOVED the gift, and really, who wouldn't?  You could also add a Diet Coke, lemonade, or something else refreshing for summer. You could even add one of the cute personlized tumblers like the ones I showed you above.  You can download the wine tags here or by clicking on the photo.  They're free!  The floaties were from Target last year, but I found a really cute mixed pack of drink floaties on Amazon for you.  Each gift probably cost me a total of $5 or less. 

Desk Supplies
Again, Target Dollar Spot for the win!  I added some pretty Flair pens with a notepad to a cute bag and add the filler.  I bought a big pack of Flairs like this one, and then I split them up to save some money.  I especially love the tropical vacation colors for an end of the school year gift.  You can download the donut tags for free here or by clicking the photo.  Each gift cost me about $4 each. 


Scented Markers
Mr. Sketch markers are in my top 5 favorite school supplies of all time, and I LOVE getting a new pack of them.  I don't know any teacher that doesn't love them.  Order a few packs from Amazon or pick them up at Target and slap a cute tag (another freebie in my TPT store) on them.  Easy, easy, easy and under $7 a gift! 

Other good ideas....
Chocolate.
Starbucks Gift Cards.
6-pack of Beer.
