1. Mini Bundtlet from Nothing Bundt Cakes - These moist little cakes are like little bits of heaven! For the teacher with a sweet tooth, they come in half a dozen flavors and make a great presentation. Nothing Bundt Cakes in The Woodlands is located next to Trader Joe's in the Kuykendahl/Gosling shopping center.
2. $25 Visa Gift Card - Let the teacher buy whatever she wants! (Okay, whatever she wants that costs $25 or less, that is). A Visa, MC, or Amex gift card is universal enough for her to spend it anywhere, and $25 is enough for lunch with dessert, or a new pair of sandals, or a manicure.
3. Insulated tumbler with lid - Who doesn't like "sippy cups"? For less than 10 bucks, you can find cute tumblers, coffee mugs, or thermoses/bottles at most grocery and department stores, and certainly at Hobby Lobby. Summer is the season to keep ice water in tow, so a new beverage container will come in handy.
4. "Thank You" Card - Never underestimate the power of a kind word. A greeting card is inexpensive, and you can make your own for even less. Like everyone else, teachers want to feel genuinely appreciated. So find a card that expresses kind sentiments, and be sure to add a few lines of your own to make it extra special.
5. Variety Basket - As the name implies, these are baskets that contain a variety of delightful treats for the recipient. Find a small basket or bucket at the $1.00 Store, and fill it with lots of inexpensive goodies: a bottle of chilled coffee, pack of gum, bag a nuts, the Oprah Magazine, a crossword puzzle book, bag of cookies, a few tea bags... anything goes.
