Teacher Appreciation Gift: Water Bottles. Fill a water bottle or straw cup with fun treats for your favorite teacher.
My son finished preschool yesterday, and I wanted to give his teacher and the two teacher assistants a little something to say ‘thank you’ for taking such good care of him this year! He did learn a lot and had so much fun at his school.

Teacher Appreciation Gift Water Bottles
This was a quick and easy gift to assemble and not expensive.
Supplies:
- Clear Acrylic Straw Cup
- Powdered Drink Mix Package
- Chocolate or Candy
- Printable Straw Wrapper (download below)

To put these together, I printed out a cute saying on plain white cardstock for the cups:
Thank you for all you do
by quenching my
thirst for knowledge!

I got the inspiration for the saying from The Idea Room.
Cut out the sayings and adhere them to a strip of patterned paper with a tape runner. Cut out a reverse triangle on the end and cut two slits on the opposite side with a craft knife to slide on the straw.
I also wrote over the top of the words ‘quenching’ and ‘thirst’ with a colored pencil to highlight the play on words.
Add your goodies to the cups and slide the cute saying onto the straw on top!

What a great idea. Probably way more useful than a lot of the gifts they get.

These are really cute! I love the tumblers, I’ll have to think about doing something like this for my kids’ teachers. Thanks!
