Pearls of Wisdom: Gift Idea for a Very Special Teacher

Teachers and caregivers play an extremely important role in the lives of our children. For various occasions, teachers, parents or administrators often need a special gift of appreciation to honor an outstanding teacher.

When considering possible gift ideas, here's a secret teachers wish you knew. Though appreciated, teachers already have an overabundance of red apple, yellow pencil, and orange bus stuff. It's cute, predictable, and a bit overdone.

If you are looking for something really special, here is an A+ gift idea that will convey sincere heartfelt sentiments. This idea is appropriate for all women and can be tailored to accommodate even the smallest gift budget.

While working as an Assistant Director at a childcare facility, I wanted to do something special for the graduating preschool class' teacher since she had taught the majority of the students since they were toddlers. I came up with this "Pearls of Wisdom" idea.

"Pearls of Wisdom" is actually a two-part gift.

The first part is an actual gift item that has pearls on it or is in someway an item related to pearls. This can be an inexpensive jewelry item, such as a pair of pearl earrings, a pearl bracelet, a pearl necklace, or a pearl pin. If your budget is around $35.00, the genuine Wish Pearl Necklace sets are nice because the teacher gets to discover the color of the pearl and a fortune too. A picture frame with inlaid pearls makes a great practical gift and you can include with it a photo of the entire class. If you know the teacher likes Avon there is also a perfume called Rare Pearls.
