02.05.2020

Were you instructed to buy a gift for a teacher on March 8th or was it a personal desire, but you don’t know which souvenir is best to choose? There are many options for stylish, original and unusual gifts that will be a pleasant surprise for the teacher. It is worth taking into account personal preferences, hobbies, age and character of the recipient.

What souvenir should you choose for your teacher?

When looking for a gift for a teacher, you should keep in mind that, first of all, you are choosing a gift for a beautiful woman, not a teacher. It should be sophisticated and at the same time seasoned. If you want to give an exclusively business souvenir, you can choose exclusive pens, notepads, a wallet for documents or an original wall clock. These are a kind of universal gifts that can be used not only at work, but also taken home.

If you want to present something more elegant and pleasant, you can purchase an engraved flash drive, an exclusive pen, a personalized cup or vase. For those with a sweet tooth, you can choose personalized sets of handmade chocolates, a chocolate card, a gift set of honey or a caramel on a stick with the recipient's name. A personalized tea set, thermal mug or exquisite tea will be a pleasant surprise.

If you want to give a souvenir that will be useful in the house, you can buy a personalized stand or cutting board. This present will not only be original, but also useful in everyday life. An unusual surprise will be a pillow with photographs, a personalized calendar, an engraved pendant, a poster on the wall and a case for business cards. All this and many other unusual and interesting offers can be found on the pages of our online store.

If you want to surprise your teacher with a stylish and original gift, take a look at the catalog of the ArtSkills online store. Among the proposed assortment of souvenirs, everyone will find a unique and inimitable present.

March 8th is an excellent occasion for each of the children to congratulate their favorite teacher, as well as to thank him for his work in education. Teachers often do not have personal free time to pay attention to themselves. And therefore, on the eve of the holiday, children and parents try to make nice souvenirs and think in advance about what to make original gift for teacher on March 8th with your own hands. The majority of school teachers are women, and they always like touching surprises and wishes. In fact, attention is pleasant to anyone; it indicates that a person is necessary and revered. In this article, we’ll look at what you can give to a teacher, as well as some ideas for DIY gifts for March 8th.

Children aged 8-12 years old cannot buy gifts themselves, even inexpensive ones. But this does not mean at all that they cannot fully congratulate the teacher. But still, there is no better presentation for a teacher than one made original gift for the teacher on March 8th with your own hands.

The essence of gifts made with one's own hands is that a child can present a piece of warmth and comfort to those who are constantly with us, day after day. For this reason, they are much more desirable and sweeter and contain the potential to develop in the child a sense of responsibility, attentiveness and a sensitive relationship to those around him. This is an opportunity not only to show appreciation, but also to personally be braver and bolder.

Whatever gift you come up with for the teacher on March 8, it must be accompanied by fresh flowers that will decorate the celebration and deliver a lot of unforgettable impressions. Below I would like to offer those win-win gift options that will make any teacher rejoice and thank you in return with the warmth and kindness of his soul.

One important piece of advice: before the celebration approaches, it would be good to gently ask the teacher about his preferences. An excellent option would be to know about his personal hobbies, which will accordingly help you in choosing original gift for teacher on March 8.

Bouquet of favorite sweets

Candy is always a win-win, even if the teacher is a man. Nowadays, flower departments have ready-made bouquets of sweets, but they are easy to make yourself; even a preschooler can show his skills. The sweets that you will arrange in a bouquet must be of expensive brands so that the gift looks elegant and dignified. The originality of arranging a teacher’s favorite sweets into a luxurious bouquet and the moment of presentation will certainly surprise not only every woman, but also a male teacher.

Making a postcard in scrapbooking style as a gift for a teacher on March 8

A handmade postcard using the scrapbooking technique would be appropriate for a bouquet of sweets. Be innovative and add a little childish imagination by focusing on subjects taught by your favorite teacher. Decorate the card with flowers, beads, rhinestones, put a decorative butterfly on it, paint it with formulas, use Russian or foreign letters. Such a gift will no less surprise the teacher; he will appreciate your ability to create a miracle and will remember his own students with affection.

Collage design for March 8

This type of gift will make the teacher remember your school years and the pleasant moments you spent together. But this option for a gift for a teacher on March 8 is more suitable for high school students who can perfectly use computer technology, graphics and design.

Box of candies and candle using decoupage technique

The box can be made from the container in which kefir is sold. It must be washed well, degreased and covered with beautiful gift paper. Make paper flowers and glue them on top.

Decoupage of a candle is also easy to do, and the process is very exciting. The main thing in this work is to choose a thematic napkin with which we will decorate the candle. Such a gift will be very impressive and any teacher will like it.

Also, a plate or cup will look great using this technique; you can even make a box and decorate it. High school students can give good wine or champagne and decorate the bottle using decoupage technique. It's not difficult, and the present looks gorgeous.

All over the world, the eighth of March is Women's Day, reminiscent not only of women's rights, but also of the arrival of spring and the onset of the warm season. Therefore, a homemade gift for March 8th to a teacher should, on the one hand, be practical and hinting at the teacher’s professional activities, and on the other hand, gentle and warm.

Teachers undeservedly rarely receive gifts, most often only on Teacher's Day and September 1st. However, it is worth remembering the important role of the teacher in the fate of every person. Therefore, congratulating your favorite teacher and expressing your gratitude to her on March 8 will not be amiss. Moreover, making a beautiful gift on your own is not difficult, even for a child under the supervision of his parents.

The presented master classes will tell you in detail how to make a craft for your teacher yourself, and the video in this article will clearly help you make the gift you like.

So, what original gift can you come up with for your favorite teacher?

A sincere gift for the teacher on March 8 with your own hands - an original postcard. There are many techniques and techniques for creating postcards. Craft stores are full of various ready-made materials with which you can decorate a postcard.

To design postcards, you can use applique, quilling, origami or scrapbooking techniques, as well as various materials - yarn, beads, ready-made metal fittings.

Simple paper cards with flowers are suitable for the teacher. A primary school student can easily make a three-dimensional postcard.

To work you will need:

double-sided colored paper;
scissors;
thick sheet of paper;
pencil;
glue;
markers, colored pens or paint.

When everything is prepared, you can start creating:

bend a sheet of green paper in half and make small cuts of different lengths on the fold side, bend the “fringe” upward;

open the sheet of paper and bend the resulting strips inward;

draw and cut out flowers and leaves on paper of different colors (you can use templates);
glue flowers and leaves to the protruding stripes and “grass”;

bend a thick sheet of paper in half (the base of the postcard);
trim the edges of the green leaf, carefully insert and glue it into the base;
wait until it dries and decorate the outside of the card: glue flowers, write “Congratulations on March 8!”, decorate around the edges.

The postcard is ready for congratulations, and the master is ready for praise!

You can design the postcard in accordance with the subject taught by the teacher. For a literature teacher, you can cut out a small book from paper and glue it on top, for geography - a globe, for drawing - paints and brushes, for mathematics - a ruler and geometric shapes. The main thing to keep in mind is that this is a spring card after all, so don’t forget about the abundance of flowers and greenery.

Here are some more examples of postcards:

For example, you can do this:

Memorable and edible bouquets

Bouquets come not only from fresh flowers, but also from a wide variety of and, sometimes, unexpected materials. A bouquet for a teacher can be assembled from pencils, pens, erasers, paper clips, as well as from sweets and corrugated paper.

A memo bouquet with photographs of your favorite students looks original. This craft is well suited for a collective gift.

What to prepare:

a photograph of the class or its individual students;
colorless cardboard;
corrugated cardboard in red, orange, yellow colors;
flower template (can be drawn by hand);
small ceramic pot;
sponge and wire for floristry;
decorative moss;
glue gun or “Moment Crystal”;
pencil;
scissors;
compass;
stationery knife.

Instead of wire, wooden skewers or sushi sticks are suitable. Moss can be replaced with fabric, corrugated or velvet paper with pre-made holes to make it easier to insert flowers. Also, instead of a ceramic pot, you can use any jar, pre-painted with paint or covered with paper.

The video provides visual and detailed instructions for creating such a gift:

Instead of a floral sponge, you can put sweets or small stationery inside. It is important to fill the pot completely so that you can insert the flowers.

A chocolate bouquet is another unusual gift that combines the beauty of flowers (even paper ones) and a sweet surprise. There can be many variations of sweet bouquets. To congratulate the teacher on March 8, spring flowers are well suited - tulips, which can be made from colored paper.

What you will need for the craft:

small candies in foil (for example, truffles);
colored thick paper or special paper for scrapbooking (plain or patterned);
skewers with sharp ends cut off or sushi sticks;
thick cellophane paper (as for bouquets of fresh flowers);
green corrugated paper or tape (you can use napkins);
ribbons and other decor;
wrapping paper;
scotch;
glue gun;
scissors;
pencil.

The table shows the main stages of creating a sweet bouquet:

Action	Description
	cut the cellophane into squares so that you can wrap a candy in each square;
	combine the candy and the stick, tightly wrapping the edges of cellophane around it (for reliability, you can secure it with tape);
	wrap the “stem” with green corrugated paper approximately to the middle, secure with glue;
	draw and cut out leaves and petals of different sizes from colored paper: for one flower you need small and large petals (2 “pinwheels” each, as in the photo);
	bend the petals upward, carefully make a hole in the middle of the corolla for the stick;
	put a smaller whisk on the candy stick;
	glue the petals together along the edges;
	put a larger corolla on top, press and bend the petals;
	glue the leaves to the edge of the corrugated paper and lay the stem wrap;
	make several flowers and make a bouquet of them, wrap them in wrapping paper and decorate with ribbons and other decor.

Here are some more options for sweet bouquets:

With the arrival of spring, certain worries arise related to the choice of gifts for beautiful ladies on March 8th. It is especially difficult for schoolchildren to choose a souvenir for the teacher. In this case, various handmade gizmos will come to the rescue.

Homemade Holiday Gifts for Teachers

A holiday gift for a teacher is an important aspect of the student-teacher relationship. Presenting a purchased gift is not always appropriate; moreover, such a sign of attention may be interpreted incorrectly or even offend the teacher. However, this does not mean that the idea of presenting a souvenir should be abandoned. If a schoolchild wants to give a gift to the teacher, then it is better to make it with your own hands.

In Japan, a person who receives a gift is obliged to give something in return - this is the tradition. Therefore, subordinates never give anything to their boss, and schoolchildren never give anything to their teachers.

Applique postcard

Spring-themed postcards are considered a universal gift for March 8th. Such a gift can be presented to any subject teacher, but it will be especially appreciated by a teacher of primary school, drawing or artistic culture. Volumetric paper souvenirs look the most original. To create such a gift you will need:

The postcard is made as follows:

We cut out a strip from a sheet of cardboard, the size of which should be approximately 10x22 cm.
Fold it in half, but so that one side is 2 cm longer than the other.
Fold the cardboard so that one side is larger
We bend this edge as shown in the picture.
Bend the long side 2 cm
We trim the edges of the card, marking lines with a pencil and ruler to give it a trapezoidal shape and make it look like a pot.
Draw lines to trim the edges of the card evenly
We connect the sides with glue.
We decorate the outwardly curved upper edge with a strip of corrugated cardboard.
We decorate the resulting pot by gluing butterflies cut out of colored paper. You can also use ready-made stickers.
We decorate the pot with corrugated cardboard and other elements
We make a blank for a bouquet in the shape of a mushroom from colored cardboard.
Preparing the basis for the second part of the postcard
We cut out petals and leaves from colored paper and corrugated cardboard and decorate the hat with them. We decorate the core of the flowers with beads, rhinestones or any other elements you like.
We decorate the blank with leaves and flowers made of corrugated cardboard and colored paper
We write wishes and congratulations on the stem of a cardboard mushroom with a gel pen or felt-tip pen.
We sign the bouquet card and insert it into a cardboard pot
We insert this part of the card into the finished pot.

Felt crafts

Those who are comfortable with a needle and thread can sew small crafts from soft felt. You can purchase the material at any craft supply store. A cute toy will decorate an office or home interior; a technology teacher whose subject is related to handicrafts will especially like it. And such a thing as a bookmark will be suitable for all teachers, because any teacher has to read a lot of literature, and this useful accessory will come in handy.

Bookmark

Bookmark - a win-win gift option for any teacher

Prepare the materials and tools necessary to make a souvenir:

felt;
cotton pads;
embroidery threads;
thin elastic band;
pencil;
a small narrow glass;
scissors;
sewing needles.

The process of creating a bookmark looks like this:

Place the glass on the felt and trace it with a pencil. Thus, you need to make 2 blanks.
Cut out 2 circles from the material along the outlined contours.
Cut out circles from the material
We embroider flowers on one of them using loops.
We embroider flowers using the “lazy daisy” stitch
We decorate the same blank with other elements, for example, stars made from regular stitches.
Add other embroidered elements to decorate the workpiece
To make the bookmark soft and voluminous, cotton pads are placed between the circles.
Insert cotton pads between the blanks
An elastic band is inserted between them, the ends of which must first be connected.
Place elastic band between layers
At the final stage, all layers are stitched together. In this case, the stitches must pass through the elastic band in order to secure it firmly.
We sew all the elements together tightly so that the bookmark does not fall apart.

Such cards can be easily made from materials and parts sold in craft supply stores. Such a product made from fabric and buttons can be presented as a keychain. A hot stand made from pencils is an original and necessary gift. Another practical gift idea is a photo frame. Option for a simple postcard for teachers, even a primary school student can make such a present. The teacher will be able to place crafts made using the origami technique on the table. Such a topiary will decorate the teacher’s office and will not go unnoticed

DIY collective souvenirs

Congratulations poster

On the one hand, giving a gift from the class is easier: brainstorming will help you choose the appropriate option faster. On the other hand, it is more difficult, because often each student wants to implement only his own idea, and disagreements may arise. Therefore, it is recommended to use a proven group gift idea.

As a rule, posters for teachers for International Women's Day are made in the form of a wall newspaper with wishes. The manufacturing process has the following features:

To create a gift, select 1 sheet of whatman paper or glue 8 A4 sheets together.
All the elements conceived by the students are marked with a pencil, and then the background is designed using paints, felt-tip pens, stamps and other supplies.
Then congratulations, poems are written in, and selected illustrations are pasted in. Photos of schoolchildren and the teacher are also posted. If there is someone in the team who has good computer skills and image editing programs, then you can instruct this student to make a collage in advance, which will then be printed and attached to the wall newspaper.
At the final stage, it is recommended to supplement the poster with three-dimensional elements. For example, flowers made using the quilling technique, small toys or ready-made wooden figurines, which can be purchased at a craft store and even painted as you wish.

Such a collage can be made in an image editor on a computer, and then printed and decorated. A poster with applications can also be given to a teacher. And such a poster is a real wall newspaper! Neat and spring-like bright holiday poster

Bouquet of paper flowers and sweets

An original solution - a bouquet of paper flowers with sweets hidden in the buds

If making a poster seems like an inappropriate idea, then you can opt for a more original version of a present for a teacher on March 8th - a bouquet of paper flowers with candies inside. Its creation takes a lot of time if you do everything alone, but collectively such a gift can be made quickly. To do this you will need the following materials and tools:

loose colored cardboard or scrapbooking paper with patterns;
candies (it is better to choose those packed in foil; it is easier to place them in paper flowers);
bamboo sticks;
cellophane paper;
green corrugated tape (if it is not possible to use this material, then you can get by with paper napkins);
colored ribbons;
glue or glue gun;
scissors;
pencil.

The bouquet is assembled according to the following algorithm:

Using scissors, we divide the cellophane paper into squares (their size is selected so that each piece can be wrapped with candy and still have free edges 2–3 cm long).
Wrap the candy in cellophane paper
We take a bamboo stick, put candy on it and wrap it all in cellophane, the ends of which are twisted so that the sweetness is tightly attached to the stick.
Attach the candy to the bamboo stick by twisting the edges of the cellophane
We wrap the “stem” with green corrugated tape. You should start from the cellophane, fixing its edges.
Wrap the bamboo stick with corrugated tape to the middle
When the bamboo stick is wrapped to the place where you plan to attach the leaves, fix the corrugated tape with glue or a glue gun.
Using a pencil, mark out bud blanks on colored cardboard or scrapbooking paper (for each flower you need 2 different colors and sizes), cut them out, and make holes in the middle. Immediately prepare the leaves.
We fix larger buds in the same way.
We take leaves cut out of cardboard, fix them with corrugated tape or a napkin in the place where we finished wrapping the bamboo stick, and wrap the “stem” to the end (we fix the free edge of the material with glue or a glue gun).
We begin to attach the leaves from the place where we finished wrapping the bamboo stick with corrugated tape.
When a sufficient number of flowers are ready, we tie them with colored ribbons. The bouquet is assembled!

Poor decisions when creating a gift

Of course, we must not forget that there are gifts that can offend and even anger a teacher:

The most pleasant thing is to receive a gift that is made carefully and beautifully, so it is advisable that the manufacturing process take place under the supervision of an adult. It is better to refuse to present a souvenir that was not completed successfully.
The craft should not contain indecent pictures or words.
It is advisable to avoid possible ambiguities and hints. For example, if you plan to make a parrot out of felt, you need to think about whether the teacher for whom the gift is intended will think that the student is hinting that he is repeating the same thing several times.
It is also better not to give candy bouquets if it is known that the teacher does not eat sweets or watches his figure.
Homemade jewelry is a gift for friends or relatives. A bracelet made of rubber bands given to a teacher will put her in an awkward position: out of politeness, the gift must be worn, and such an accessory is unlikely to be in harmony with the appearance and image of the teacher.

Making a gift for a teacher for International Women's Day is a responsible task. For it to be appropriate, it is advisable to take into account the woman’s hobbies and preferences. But the most important thing is that the gift must be made with soul. After all, the main gift for a teacher is the attention and respect with which his students treat him, and souvenirs are only confirmation of this.

There can be many reasons for giving a gift to your favorite teacher - a professional holiday, a birthday and, of course, March 8th.

Usually, parent committees deal with all organizational issues. They are responsible for congratulations and purchasing souvenirs.

However, if you want to present a gift to the teacher with your own hands, then you need to think carefully about what to choose as a gift. Ideally, it should be a nice sign of attention, and not the subject of a bribe.

Primary school students, as a rule, do not have personal financial resources. Therefore, the best gift from them is things they made with their own hands.

As a high school student, things are a little different. They are at an age when many people start working part-time.

As a last resort, they have their own pocket money given to their parents. One way or another, teenagers can save a certain amount and buy an “immodest” present for the teacher.

1. Greeting card

It’s easy to design a themed card yourself. Schoolchildren always have paints, pencils and markers, colored paper at hand.

You can depict a chic bouquet of spring flowers on the front side, and write wishes on the spread.

The described option is the simplest, but for a teacher there is nothing more valuable than the student’s attention.

A postcard made of colored paper with application of fabric, leather, coffee beans looks very original.

2. Flowers in pots

Violet Geranium

Buying flowers in a store is expensive and banal. We offer another option.

From childhood, girls follow the example of their mothers and grandmothers. Many, under the guidance of adults, learn the science of growing home flowers.

So why not grow a flower for your favorite teacher especially for the holiday. For example, violet.

You can decorate the pot with beautiful paper and present it on Women’s Day with good wishes. It will turn out very beautiful.

3. Bookmark for a school magazine or book

Knitted bookmark Cardboard bookmark

A bookmark that is attached to the corner of the page is a necessary gift. It can be made by a junior high school student and presented on March 8th.

An elegant corner made of fabric in the shape of a heart or the face of an animal will become an indispensable attribute of a cool magazine or favorite book.

This is a very useful gift for a reading person, which includes our teachers.

4. Origami figures

Bouquet Swan Flower

It would seem that the figures are made of ordinary paper. The origami technique is not difficult.

A gentle dove, a proud swan or a cheerful parrot is made from ordinary sheets of paper.

These gifts will look great on a shelf, reminding the teacher of the author.

Warm memories, that's what matters.

5. Original scented candle

This gift is suitable for older children. It will please you with its appearance and will be useful in everyday life.

Making a candle is easy. You will need several household white candles and wax-based pencils. They will add color to the product.

Kefir or yogurt packages are good as molds. The role of flavorings can be performed by: coffee, orange slices, cinnamon, and so on.

For decoration you can use shells, beads, buttons. The flight for creative thought is inexhaustible.

6. Homemade baked goods

What woman would refuse a sweet gift? It is doubly pleasant if it is the work of a student.

Girls from early childhood master the wisdom of confectionery art. It’s easy for them to bake a cupcake, cookies or cake to please their favorite teacher.

Receiving such a creation from a boy will be doubly pleasant.

7. Photo frame

A photo frame is also a great gift for a teacher.

Every person has photographs, teachers especially have a lot of them. The most memorable photographs are placed in frames. This means that such a gift will not be superfluous.

To make it, you can use cardboard or real wood. The choice of decor is varied: shells, ribbons, fabric, rhinestones.

Use your imagination or use ready-made solutions from the Internet.

8. Decoration for the office

Teachers always treat the design of their classrooms with great trepidation. As a rule, student gifts play an important role in classroom decor.

A good gift option is a panel made of dried flowers, leaves or cones.

Any natural material will do. A sand painting will also look great.

9. Table lamp

A good table lighting device is exactly what a teacher needs. His work involves checking notebooks and preparing for lessons.

A high school student may well give a high-quality table lamp - a gift with care for his favorite teacher.

10. Keyboard

Teachers spend a lot of time at the computer, so a keyboard could be an appropriate gift from a student.

Today's children are very well versed in this issue; they themselves spend hours on social networks.

It will not be difficult for them to choose the right model for their favorite teacher.

11. Stylish ballpoint pen with original design

If the teacher is one of the stylish ladies, then an accessory from a famous fashion brand will come in handy.

Restraint of colors, clear lines, elegant shape - these are the parameters related to a ballpoint pen, which can complement the image of a real lady.

12. Flower vase

What do teachers give in large quantities? Flowers. No holiday is complete without bouquets.

An original vase will be the most timely gift. Its design can be anything - variations on the theme of folk art made of clay, crystal or colored glass.

The reference point is the taste of your favorite teacher.
