School is nearing an end and parents are undoubtedly making plans for some summer fun with the family. But before we say goodbye to another academic year, we will likely be on the lookout for the perfect teacher gift that says, "Thank you for your dedication and hard work." While I sometimes struggle with what to buy for my children's teachers, I have been in the profession long enough to know that I personally do not need any more coffee mugs. (Although, they are always a welcome addition to the staff room kitchen cupboards!) I was recently approached by the lovely Nicole and Dana of myrealreview.com to participate in a Google Hangout where we discussed teacher gift options. In this candid video, I share some practical ideas as well as my personal favourite. This was taped on the Friday night before my son's LEGO® make-and-take birthday party while taking a break from cleaning the house and setting up decorations. Thus I make no apologies for my appearance. Ha!
