DIY gifts for Teacher's Day - original crafts
Every year at the beginning of October, Teachers' Day is celebrated in Russia. This is an occasion to thank your favorite teacher for the work and knowledge that he helped to obtain, and to give him a gift. The simplest and most common gift for such occasions is a bouquet and sweets. This will not require material costs and a lot of time for searching.
If you don’t want to look banal by presenting your teacher with a standard set, you’ll have to use your imagination. It is not advisable for a teacher to give alcohol, money, jewelry, cosmetics, perfume or clothing. It is more appropriate to give a souvenir or something related to the profession. For example, a table lamp, a gift set of pens, a photo clock or a large vase. A globe is suitable for a geography teacher, a whistle or a ball for a physical education teacher, a pendulum souvenir for a physics teacher, and a houseplant for a biology teacher. The class teacher will be delighted with the calendar with photographs of the students.
Those who want to be original should make a gift themselves. The teacher will definitely appreciate such a gift, because in everything that a person does with his own hands, he puts a piece of his soul.

Bouquet for September 1st for a first grader
Children who are going to school for the first time do not yet know their teacher, so the bouquet for the teacher on the first of September should be laconic, without any special frills. But this does not mean that a first-grader should go to the first ceremony with a modest bouquet of asters or gladioli. There are many options on how to make a gift original, while adhering to the classic style. The first teacher will be pleased to receive an unusual bouquet, because this means that parents and children took full responsibility in choosing the gift.
Parents should remember that the first grader will hold flowers near the school during the special event, so the bouquet should not be heavy or too voluminous. Flowers should set the child up for a positive atmosphere, create a feeling of celebration, and not spoil the impression of his first visit to school.
What mistakes can parents make when choosing a bouquet for a first-grader child:
- Too many decorative elements. An abundance of sparkles, bows, and unnecessary decor is inappropriate for a bouquet that a first-grader will present to his first teacher. Decorations are acceptable, but in small quantities so that they are harmoniously combined with the colors and create a single composition.
- The bouquet should not be large. It is difficult for a small schoolchild to hold a bulky, heavy floral design.
- Avoid the presence of exotic flowers in the composition. Of course, they look beautiful, exude a subtle aroma and captivate the eye, but it is worth considering that exotic plants often cause allergic reactions.
- Avoid burgundy and dark red roses. Florists say that roses in this color scheme are given to demonstrate love and passion. It is better to use other colors, and also note that roses can be pricked by thorns. Remove leaves and thorns from the stem in advance so that the child and teacher do not harm themselves.
- You should not give flowers that are shedding petals or pollen.
First-graders most often go to school with asters, gladioli, and dahlias. From year to year, teachers receive standard bouquets. If you want to surprise your teacher, choose other combinations: bright gerberas, small sunflowers, chrysanthemums. A miniature basket with a floral sponge will look unusual and stylish. This arrangement will last longer than a regular bouquet and will delight the teacher for several days.
Suitable colors:
- yellow;
- red;
- orange;
- green;
- golden;
- baby blue;
- lilac;
- pastel shades.
The composition will look stylish and laconic if it combines no more than three shades.
