These Mani Thanks gifts turn out so CUTE!

I love that they can encourage a little self-care moment and relaxation. My nail brushes and some of the polishes are from Dollar Tree, so you can do this project on any budget. Really it’s more about the thought and acknowledging someone you appreciate with a genuine THANK YOU.

I do realize that this idea will not work for every teacher, so I wanted to mention these free printable gift card holders that have been super popular each year for teacher gifts!


We asked teachers what the best gifts are, and here’s what they said!
