My son has a male teacher this year for the first time ever! He is so excited but I keep thinking what the heck do I make for all the little gifts I send in every year, lol! So I started off basic with a set of note cards. I used the circle punches on this and retired paper since I thought it fit the male theme I was looking for. I have a bunch of these clear boxes so I made an insert to hold the cards and have extras spots for extras--pen and kudos bar. If you have any ideas on what to make for male teachers, please share them by commenting on this post!
Hope he likes it. Have a great day, I am off to find out how today went at school, day two!

I'm very excited to hear everyone's answers! My son also has a male teacher this year; on a team of one male and two female teachers. For the first day of school I found the cutest idea Connie Babbert shared (1 of her cust's made) - take a package of Mentos, attached a Rolo at one end and a Hersey's Kiss at the other, then wrapped just the Mentos part in yellow cardstock that she creased every 1/4" or so. They looked like thick pencils! Tie a ribbon with a tag around the middle, so cute and yummy, too!
