While kids across San Mateo are preparing to go back to school, their new teachers have also been hard at work. Between writing lesson plans and decorating the classroom, these dedicated educators have already put months of effort into welcoming their new students. Back-to-school classroom gifts for the teacher are a great way to let him or her know that you appreciate all their efforts in advance of the new school year.

Plants are known to bring serenity and peace to their surroundings, and therefore make a wonderful addition to a classroom! This mini orchid plant is the perfect size to add a little color and grace to the teacher’s desk or office, without being overwhelming. The unique design of this exotic flower is sure to be an interesting focal point for the kids as well.

We love the idea of classroom gifts that may also be incorporated into the lesson plans. Succulent gardens are a living science project, exhibiting fascinating plant life the children will be drawn to; we’ve designed the garden in a petite black container that makes it an attractive piece for the room as well. Green plants are known to improve air quality and increase productivity, so donating green plants to the classroom is a meaningful gesture. Of course, the teacher may decide to take these gifts home for a bit of personal relaxation – and who could blame them ?

You may wish to consider one of our gourmet gift baskets for the teacher, or perhaps have one delivered to the teacher’s lounge for all the faculty to enjoy. What a great way to let them know that you appreciate and support them for the important role they play in your child’s life!
