UNDER $5 TEACHER GIFT IDEAS THAT ROCK (you can trust me I'm a teacher!)

[@butterflyforeve]

Mrs. Cunningham will always hold a piece for my heart. As someone who struggled for years with dyslexia back in the days it wasn't common knowledge and being called dumb by teachers she was my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. She owned a school for kids just like me and to this day talking to old school mates those years at that school make us the happiest. It was just a loving and learning environment.

*I always love your ideas Kathryn! A few of my friends are teachers & this is so helpful! God bless all the teachers, I am so thankful for them, it takes such a special person!!* 💛💛

[@citapita3365]

There is NO WAY anyone should ever get enough of watching your videos..!! They are just that awesome..!!

[@brittanyream9872]

Thank you for this! I’m a single mom and just bought my first house (yay!) so I’m in a very tight budget. I love that we can still show our teachers appreciation without breaking the bank!

[@sandyslifestyle8149]

Brittany Ream congratulations!!!! 🎉🍾

[@lynnecarnivale5085]

THATS AWESOME! MAY GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR HOME! High five long distance! 👋🏽

[@brittanyream9872]

Thank you so much!! My husband died when I was 26 (I’m 29 now) and I didn’t think I could do any of this without him. Well I am! And I honestly couldn’t without support, especially from strangers who don’t even have to be kind to me. So thank you, it means more than you know ❤️

[@sandyslifestyle8149]

Brittany Ream I’m so sorry to hear that, I can only imagine your situation. I just turned 28, and i couldn’t fathom going through that. You are a real example of strength and perseverance, happy belated Mother’s Day! 😊💕💕💐

[@lynnecarnivale5085]

[@momof2momof2]

Nice crafts. I used to love putting together gifts for my children's teachers.

[@ecto78]

Perfect timing for teacher appreciation week!! Thanks to all the teachers out there shaping the world one child at a time!!! ❤🙂

[@lynnecarnivale5085]

Amen to that! God bless!

[@Ms.Frias559]

I recently ran into my 4th grade teacher at the post office in our town. I can’t believe after 20 years she still remembered my name. These would have been great gifts for her

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

These are adorable. I can see how a teacher would love each one. Thanks for sharing.

[@dicesof8]

I remember watching you when you were still a teacher and pre boys. Baby Kathryn. Congratulations on 1 million!

[@RealOrganized]

I would love any of these gifts from my students. But even just a simple note from the heart of a middleschool child can be so precious. Thank you so much for this video.

[@dyoung2739]

I always gave my kids teachers and bus drivers gifts in appreciation of their dedication and hard work. Wish I had had these brilliant ideas back then❤️.

[@janetskelton4196]

Love these ideas, especially the crayons crafts. Teachers are so under appreciated and under paid. People tell me all the time that I missed my calling, that I should have been a teacher.

[@sheryldougherty282]

I received many awesome gifts for teacher appreciation. The one that sticks out the most was a little guy who was three. He glued his self to me on day one. I was the assistant director and I just walked by his classroom. I walked him in and sat on the floor until he felt comfortable. I did this everyday for 2 years. His mom gave me a gift certificate to the DQ across the street. I treated myself to lunch twice a month. Her kindness was much appreciated. I still see them around town and he is as tall as I am. His hugs were the best.

[@shesacamper1497]

I was a teacher for over 25 years and would have loved any of the DIY'S from this video! Great ideas! Love your channel. May God Bless.

[@sarahwilson5626]

As a former educator myself I really appreciate you making a video like this! Teachers are under appreciated and it’s the simple things like a card that make all the difference !

[@Mysticsoul77]

Teachers are truly in a class of their own ;) My absolute favorite teacher between preschool and college was and still is my fourth grade teacher. In fact I'm still in contact with her to this day. Because of her teachings I can help teach our fourth grader.

[@nancypeteja6560]

Useful is the key. ...things they can actually use!!!

[@leslieking6353]

What creative ideas for teacher gifts!! Love your ideas Kathryn!! 👒👒👒💄💄💄

[@lynn73501]

I am still close with many of my teachers from high school. With that being said, I'll always cherish my sixth grade teacher. My mom died when I was 11 and after having my intradistrict transfer revoked for poor attendance, I was placed in her classroom. It was a God send. I was dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts. I barely took care of myself and most of the time was late to school because I was too depressed to get out of bed. I would have breakdowns in the middle of the day (very "adult" problems for a young kid.) Still, she loved and believed in me, even calling my house and making me get up when I felt like I couldn't, giving me a safe space to cry and a shoulder to cry on. She saved my life that year, I will forever be grateful.

[@olayinapa]

As a teacher myself, (kindergarden and primary education) the best gifts my students can give me are their drawings, hugs, their smiles whenever they see me. Anyway, I liked video. Have a great day.

[@daturarose]

I love the crayon monogram! It'd be a great decoration for a child's bedroom too!

[@315315Barbara]

Now I understand why your videos are so educational. Thank you. Love them

[@hilaryt9808]

My fifth grade teacher was amazing and my teacher in high school Mrs p was like my best friend. Teachers can make such an impact!

[@danaduncan6436]

I'm a teacher. I love all of these ideas! They are super cute.

[@FREETOFAMILY]

*These are so creative! I know that any teacher would love these--as a former teacher myself it is so special to receive such thoughtful gifts from our students! Thanks Kathryn! xoxo*

[@kathleengill1273]

Yes teaching is not a job it's a calling! Been there done that for 25 years. I loved every minute of it and I would have loved to get one of these gifts. They're all amazing!

[@deepestanio4625]

Good gifts lot of teachers in our family. They would live these!

[@modmamaodon2945]

As a teacher, thank you for putting it out there that we'd really love a heartfelt note...from the kids or the parents! And the other ideas you shared were wonderful as well!

[@haggiefatigue2971]

Thank you Chris Harper, Lucille Moseley, Nancy Cook and Bill Stroud - the SE Arkansas teachers who greatly influenced me. I became a teacher (and a better person) because of each of you.

[@georgiagaydos6876]

My husband is a teacher and he says the same thing, things from the kids is the best.

[@AccordingtoKAT]

As a teacher myself, I can say I would love any of these... again it is the thought that counts- But, if I had to choose I especially loved the Lego tissue holder & the ruler succulent planter that was stained gray. So pretty! TFS

[@wendyodell356]

Great ideas! We always handmade our gifts for my kids teachers. It was usually a goody of sorts, fireside coffee, Russian tea, always the favorite, my Peanutbutter fudge or White chocolate munchie mix. They all knew me very well beings I worked in the schools along side them. I also did something for everyone at my school. My custodians were treated very well because they were the ones that took care of me. Turned the heat on in the office so it was warm and toasty for my arrival and had coffee made and waiting for me. Some years I would cater a lunch of my famous Chinese Chicken Salad for the schoolwide staff. It's being appreciated and recognized, to know they matter 👏🤗 God bless you and your family Kathryn ❤ XOXO

[@lisadowsett6836]

Little tip - I found that heating my exacto knife quickly over a candle flame b4 I cut the crayons made it much easier xxx

[@Mzclaudiasmakeup]

I love these ideas! I'm a homeschool mom of 2. And I know I would love these in my classroom! Thanks for these ideas!

[@Danielle-uw5df]

After 8 years of teaching, I finally got a crayon wreath this year from one of my students! YES! I love it and have always wanted one!

[@nattynua7300]

I'm a primary school teacher and I think these gift ideas are wonderful xxx

[@20ilovemusik]

These are great ideas. I bought a pack of flowers, and bought a black matte pot. Then draw Best Teacher # 1 in a chalk. Making it look like chalk board type idea. Still there are a total of 6 teacher in my kids life. Perfect time for the wreath something for our art teacher.

[@chrissy21luv]

Mrs. Byod, Mrs. Johnston, mrs. Heck, Ms. Hill! 😍😍😍😍 Teachers are true superheroes!!

[@magee113]

Happy Mother's Day Kathryn!!! 💚 💛 💜

[@marilynlovelace7749]

As a retired teacher, I love your creativity and inexpensive gift ideas. I'm doing the crayons pen holder for my grandson's teacher.

[@Snelly911]

A former teacher, now your success makes sense. Not that someone who was not a teacher couldn't be success on KZbin. But you just have way about yourself when you are explaining things. The kids in all of us subconsciously are glued to your every word. Great gift ideas!! I am trying them for the teachers in my life

[@charlenewagoner9523]

Wish my kids were still in school! What a great idea.

[@renawheat]

Been with you for years..Look at you with a assistant! Look at you Grow girl!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sandrapride1046]

I agree that a note is the best! Steer clear of Dollar Tree and cheap pencils. The lead is not always down the middle and causes lots of lost time at the sharpener with a pencil that will NEVER be usable.

[@Jessie20032]

Always handy as I have lots of work colleagues to give gifts to at the end of each school year for Christmas sounds good to me and cheap!

[@snemetz6008]

Great ideas! As a teacher myself, I love the ideas and have received a few of these over the years.

[@marissasharp9892]

Such wonderful ideas, Kathryn! I used to teach elementary music, K-5. Now I homeschool my three boys. Help me! LOL! I have friends that still teach in public and private school, and homeschool friends as well. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers that make a difference in our kids’ lives! It truly is a tough but rewarding job. And yes, I would have loved to receive those. My boys are into Legos, so we may have to try the tissue box holder, just for fun. 😉 God bless you! 🤗 🙏 🥰

[@carolynnance7176]

Those are adorable 😍

[@denisec8914]

Thank you for putting out such wonderful videos. I enjoy them so much, especially your little ham man, he is fun. I have a love hate relationship with hot melt glue. In the end it never really sticks or holds things togegher for me. I see a lot of crafters rely on this and I just wonder if anyone else has this problem or am I simply using the wrong glue sticks? My one tip for use is this...make a dot of hot melt glue onto a piece of waxed or parchment paper and when it dries, use it to replace the back of a stud earring. I've been doing this for over twenty years and this is the one thing it has not failed me on.

[@darniataylor7749]

Great ideas! My aunt is a teacher and she still has gifts that her students have given her years ago.

[@ritamcdonnell-dougherty8144]

I LOVE these ideas.

[@nievespalomino8583]

So creative & beautiful love them all 💕 Happy Mother's Day 💖

[@tammie462]

WOW, these are some awesome teacher ideas!!!!

[@bevpallenbelbin7100]

You have such great ideas and such a fun way to make and give gifts. Thank you

[@retired.read.craft.cruise]

I've been a teacher for 30 years. My all time favorite gift is a note from the student and parent.

[@alissdiaz7052]

I love how you used Crayola, if you are going to go through the effort of making something so thoughtful you might as well go all the way and make it something the teacher can display with pride! 👍

[@CountryLissa]

I love all of the ideas! I say crayon the way your friend Jess does - as cray-on. Maybe it's an east coast thing, lol. And like you, I have all of the notes that I've received from students and their parents! :)

[@Sunflower-bo2mc]

They look great!Perfect for Teacher’s Day!

[@anmaralmirjani134]

Your a magical person on the KZbin and you’re change my life, God bless you and gratulation I’m so happy for you♥️

[@kaylahunter1273]

Thank you so much for amazing ideas! I was stumped what to get my son's preschool teacher of two years and now I know!

[@DecoratingMadeEasywithTrina]

These are great ideas. I love how simple and creative they are. TFS

[@DoItOnaDime]

Decorating Made Easy with Trina thank you so much for watching!

[@TheMindfulMillennial12]

OMG these are great! As a first year teacher I love these!

[@nanicy123]

I would love to see more ideas like this especially when school is about to end soon!

[@XtinaMarie1984]

Love these ideas I just made some this morning for my kids teacher! I scoured Pinterest and saw this mason jar grow one that I loved! I took my own spin on it and picked up these super cute little wooden mason jar signs with a wire hanger and a galvanized top! I painted with chalk paint added some cute letter stickers and the word grow in little wooden letters and some flowers burlap ribbon and twine and cute card stock! I love how they came out but ❤️❤️ the ideas u came up with keep in mind for next yr

[@thehomeadmin]

Loved these ideas! I posted a few myself that are super simple as well! Thanks for reminding us to thank our teachers❤️

[@sandyslifestyle8149]

I saw! Loved them! 😊💕💕

[@sandrabuckley3206]

Great ideas 👍 thanks for sharing have a wonderful night and a Happy Mother's Day 🌹🏵️🌼 💐🌺

[@amalyousuf2217]

Wow I loved all of your DIYs they are so creative using rulers. I especially loved the succulent pot with stained rulers 👍🏻

[@AT-ss2gm]

I didn't know you were a teacher?! It definitely makes sense though. As a teacher myself, I would love to receive any of these! You are so right when you say the heartfelt notes are the best, though and I've gotten plenty of those this week. They make my heart full 🥰❤️

[@Eveygo]

Thank you!! I want to make something my son can enjoy doing with me for his teacher and these DIYS are perfect.

[@esterixis]

Mr. M., Mrs. H., Mrs. H. My 4th grade teacher who opened my eyes to learning; my nursing school instructor who appreciated & encouraged my compassion; & my best friend who teaches in an underserved, high poverty level school. God bless them!

[@lisab9541]

As a former high school teacher, you made me so happy. Great ideas!

[@JadeCanada237]

I liked the wreath. I think it would make a nice gift for a friend or family member that is a new teacher. Personally we give small $ amount coffee shop gift cards at Christmas and at the end of the school year. It's been a huge hit. I should mention we give to the teachers, principal, secretary, custodians and bus drivers. We feel it's important to remember all the people who contribute not just the teachers.

[@missrobinhoodie]

I‘m still a teacher in training but I loved these so much! 😊👏🏻

[@marshaanderson9176]

Awesome ideal love the Lego tissue box

[@Rishonable]

I usually give my children's teacher something the children made and chip in with a gift card with a good amount. These teachers most of the time give from the little they have. So a gift card and some thing a little extra does it for me. Great idea btw!

[@crisbarnett3884]

Thanks for the tips. I use “The Works” to get the rust build up off my shower stall. I spray after my shower (it stinks) and leave it for awhile and come back and rinse. I’ve found if I do this regularly then the rust or soap scum doesn’t build up in the tub or surround and I don’t have to scrub at all. And ... it’s a dollar! Thanks so much for all your videos and your channel. You are amazing!

[@GinnyandEric]

Love all of these! How cute!

[@trishpipkins]

These are so cute. I just don't have any teachers in my life. But I'm thinking I need to look at other items in my life that can be used to make really cool DIYs like this. I have a ton of nephews. Maybe a monogram out of hot wheels? I need to brain storm now!

[@KM-nq7ez]

Your son is a hoot. Beautiful craft ideas.

[@MargaretTsChannel]

O!M!Gosh!! I LOVE the Lego tissue box cover... Everything was great, but my kids are grown... anywho.. I 'm making the tissue box cover for myself (yes, I'm a geek)!! Thank You for sharing!💞💞💞

Please don’t forget the heartfelt note that Kathryn mentioned! I’ve taught for 30 years. (!) The gifts come and go, but I still have every note that I’ve ever received.

[@jusDenyse]

These are super cute! We are making teacher appreciation gifts now and I will definitely be taking a few of these ideas for my daughters teachers!
