As Teacher’s Day approaches, I found myself saving gift ideas for my son's teachers, carers, helpers & educators during the Teacher's Day. It’s our first year navigating the world of formal schooling, and I wanted to show our appreciation in a way that’s both meaningful and memorable—without going overboard.

For the wonderful teacher who has taken such great care of Seff, I decided on a sweet treat that’s as delightful as it is personal. I ordered a custom Kek Batik, a rich and tasty traditional cake that I hope will bring a smile to her face. It’s not just a cake; it’s a token of gratitude for all the love and attention poured into them kiddos, especially my little guy.

But I didn’t stop there. Understanding that a touch of practicality can be as appreciated as a sweet indulgence, I also picked out scarves (from TudungRuffle) for the teachers. 

For the rest of the dedicated team at Sekolah Kebangsaan (the official celebration at school comes later than the official Teacher's Day date), including the PPMs who play such a crucial role, I went with a more versatile gift: personalized glasses tumblers. Packed the tumbler into a clear PVC box, with a set of pens (PILOT black, blue & red pens) and a few sweets to enjoy. It’s a combination of practicality and indulgence, perfect for a day that’s all about celebrating those who give so much to our children’s growth.

I wanted to keep things simple and sincere, steering clear of anything that might seem too lavish or out of place. It’s all about showing appreciation in a way that’s genuine and from the heart. Here’s to all the incredible teachers who make a difference every day—may these small tokens of our gratitude add a touch of sweetness to your day!

THANK YOU, TEACHERS

Until next post!
