Give a letter as a present
How about expressing your gratitude—feelings you always have but don’t usually say out loud—by writing a letter or making a message card to give? A simple handwritten letter on stationery is nice, but putting a bit of creativity into a visually charming message card would likely be appreciated too.
With a message card, they can even display it, which is a plus.
These days, you can find lots of cute flake stickers at 100-yen shops, so try making use of those.

This is a video following the teachers as they prepare for the graduation ceremony.
Watching them work so hard—practicing the piano accompaniment, making decorations to brighten the children’s lapels, checking the diplomas and the flow of the event—fills your heart, knowing they’re doing it all to make the children’s send-off truly special.
Surely not only for the graduation, but day in and day out, the children have been supported by the teachers’ dedication and care.
Seeing this side of the teachers, which we don’t usually get to see, is a touching surprise that deepens our gratitude.
Balloon bouquet of favorite sweets
https://www.tiktok.com/@harenohi_balloon/video/7333128531083332872It’s an idea where you pack candies into clear bags and attach them to the balloon sticks to make a bouquet.
What you need are balloons, balloon sticks, clear bags, wrapping paper, and individually wrapped candies.
You can get most of the materials at a 100-yen shop, and buying family packs of individually wrapped candies will help keep costs down.
It’s very easy to make, so it’s a great idea when you want to prepare one for every graduating child.
Even with a small amount of candy, the balloons add volume, making it a gift that looks impressive.

Mom’s Song “A Song For Mom”
A heartfelt song, “A Song For Mom,” created and sung to express gratitude to all the moms who are always doing their best.
This is an original piece: the children shared words and turned their messages to mothers into a song, which they then performed.
It’s a track that moves you with the everyday, ordinary moments—things the children notice in daily life, feelings they have but are too shy to say out loud.
Moms who listen will probably be so happy they’ll be moved to tears.
Display cherished photos
When you’re called in for a surprise and see lovely decorations, it can be quite a shock, right? How about using lots of photos of past memories as part of the decoration? Each of the children’s parents probably has tons of photos on their smartphones, don’t they? Print those photos and decorate the room by sticking them on the walls or hanging them from the ceiling.
It’ll likely spark lively conversations like, “Remember when that happened?”
Give a medal as a present
In kindergartens and daycare centers, children often receive medals as a sign of “Well done!” So how about surprising someone on a special day or moment with a handmade medal? You can create all kinds of medals using different materials like paper cups, origami paper, or construction paper! This surprise would be great for the children, of course, but giving it to a teacher or a parent who supports you might make it feel even more special.
If you attach a photo to the medal, it will become an even more memorable keepsake.
Stop-motion chalkboard art
It’s an idea you want to incorporate into the surprise video, right? Try taking frequent photos of the cherry blossoms and messages drawn on the blackboard and turning them into a stop-motion animation! The hand-drawn warmth will help convey your gratitude.
If you write the message first and add the decorations at the end, you can give viewers plenty of time to read the message.
Have fun arranging it while expressing your appreciation to the teachers!
