Gifts to give teachers at graduation that convey your gratitude (41–50)
herbarium

How about a handmade herbarium as a gift for a teacher who loves small accessories and interior decor? Line the bottom of a glass bottle with synthetic fiber, then place artificial flowers on top.
Gently pour in herbarium oil so the flowers don’t shift, seal the lid, and it’s done.
All the materials can be found at 100-yen shops! Since the contents tend to float in the oil, the key is to layer longer artificial flowers on top to hold everything in place.
Keep the teacher’s favorite flowers and colors in mind to create a one-of-a-kind gift.
Puzzle-style keychain

Even after graduation, our bond is eternal.
With that sentiment in mind, why not make a puzzle-style keychain? Prepare a thin plastic sheet and sketch a puzzle design on it.
The sheet will shrink to about one quarter of its original size when heated, so be mindful of the size of your drawing.
Next, cut along the lines with scissors, write names or messages, add color, and then apply heat.
Finally, coat it with resin and cure it, and you’ll have a cute keychain with a charming, puffy finish.

Blackboards are indispensable items in school life, playing active roles in classes, announcements, and many other situations.
How about creating a message card with a design inspired by a blackboard, which strongly evokes the atmosphere of school? Because the design so clearly conveys a school setting, the recipient will be reminded later on that it was a gift from a student.
It’s the kind of present where you can put a lot of thought and personality into various aspects—such as an accurate blackboard design and the content of the message.
pencil case

It’s also a great idea to choose a pencil case—something they’ll use every day—as a gift.
Teachers often carry around lots of writing instruments.
While something casual might be fine for everyday use, they may want to use something a bit nicer when traveling for business or attending training.
For those teachers, a leather pencil case that develops character the more it’s used is perfect! They can enjoy the changing texture of the leather, making it a cherished item they’ll use for years to come.
And if it’s a pencil case from a student, all the more reason—they’ll likely keep it with them at all times.
Message Card Book

Message cards that graduates send to those who supported them are a classic gift at farewell events.
And those cherished message cards are something you’ll want to bind into a card book and keep forever.
So why not decorate the cover of that card book by hand and give it as a gift? Use beautiful fabrics and ribbons to create an original card book.
With simple materials, easy steps, and plenty of ideas, make a wonderful message card book that will be remembered.
