Teacher Appreciation Week: Sweet, Relaxing Treat

Giving gift cards or gift certificates is all fine and dandy; I do it all the time. In fact, I hear it's what Teachers prefer to receive from their classes. BUT, I personally don't like just handing someone an envelope. It feels impersonal and a bit cold, quite the opposite feelings of gift giving, so I kick it up a notch.

It's all about the presentation. It's going above and beyond the boring envelope and packaging it in a way that shows the recipient you took time to personalize it and make it pretty for them. 

 

The card in the middle opens up with a pocket for the gift certificate on the left and the sentiment on the right. 

Doesn't doing all this take up time?

Won't they appreciate the gift certificate regardless? 

Will they even care?

Does it matter?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

The answer to those questions is yes, but wouldn't you rather receive something like this than a boring white envelope? 

Heck YES!

When it doubt, always craft it out!!!

(Just a personal motto...)
