ABOVE and BELOW: Something as simple as a colourful pot plant can express teacher appreciation when teamed with an inspiring thank you. Succulents are wonderful as gifts, because you never know if the person you are giving to has a green thumb!

ABOVE: Keep it simple and let the gift iself inspire you to write a thank you for your child's teacher.

ABOVE: Make a pencil vase using a recycled glass or plastic container and some pencils wrapped with a pretty ribbon. Pop in fresh cut and colourful flowers and you have a winning teacher appreciation gift.

ABOVE: Recycle glass containers with craft paint and fill them with cookies or treats - or fill with colourful pencils. Love this idea for painting the container to resemble and apple... complete with paper leaves.

ABOVE: If you love using scrap wood you can use offcuts to make a touching display. Sand and paint, or stain, the blocks in your choice of colour and use a paint pen to embellish, or paint an entire board with kind inspiration.

BELOW: And let's not forget that you can easily use a porcelain pen or ceramic paints to add an inspirational message to plain crockery - that will be remembered for a long time.
