29. "Thanks a Latte" Starbucks Gift Card
Almost everybody likes going to Starbucks, but teachers might not be able to go as much as they would like on a tight budget. Rather than offering them another empty coffee cup, consider giving them a gift card from Starbucks instead. Whether or not they want coffee, they can buy iced tea, lunch, snacks, or even accessories to take home with them using the gift card. It can seem impersonal to offer gift cards during the holidays, but they do not have to be. Each gift cardholder has a message, like the "Thanks a Latte" message shown in the picture above.
You may ask your nearest Starbucks employee if they would be willing to give you a few dry plastic cups with lids to make these at home. There should not be a problem with them giving you these free of charge, mainly if you already buy gift cards. You can utilize a Sharpie to write on the cups for each teacher once you get them home. Then, incorporate the inside of the bows, illustrations, and confetti. You can find the lights at your nearest art store or Dollar Tree.
