Teacher gifts can get complicated but this year our PTO simplified teacher gift giving with a gift card wreath teacher gift for each staff member. They were simple to organize, easy to make, and a big hit with the teachers!
The PTO collected one or more gift card from each student and then divided them up for each teacher and staff member. This year I attached the gift cards to little wreaths for a fun and festive presentation.
I bought garland at the dollar store and used hot glue to turn it into a wreath {the garland I bought was quite stiff and held its shape nicely} but you could also use an inexpensive wreath form. I tied a tulle bow at the top of each wreath and used a dab of hot glue on each gift card to attach them around the wreath. A little tag was the only other addition needed.
It was so fun to walk through the school delivering the wreaths and the teachers were really happy with their gift cards.

Cute idea! Gift cards are the way to go for teachers- we get enough chocolate and apple themed stuff, so this is great. Thanks for posting!
