We’ve all heard the debate about whether or not teacher’s want end-of-the-year gifts or just cold hard plastic, in the form of gift cards. I just saw this comment on Pinterest just the other day:

Still, I don’t think I’ll be handing over a bottle of wine to my daughter’s kindergarten teacher anytime soon. And while I’m sure they have received their fair share of crayon monogrammed prints, there are just too many cute ideas floating around the interwebs to pass up. DIY crafts, gift baskets, yummy treats and handmade items all under $10 on Etsy. I think something handmade is so much more personal and heartfelt, don’t you? Now, don’t get me wrong, I love me some gift cards as much as the next person. But these gifts will make you want to get all crafty and actually make something!

Here are 10 really adorable (and affordable!) end-of-the-year teacher appreciation gift ideas. Check it out!
