One of the daily themes during our teacher appreciation week is flowers. My “Thanks for Helping Me Grow” flower pot I made a few years ago is still one of my favorite teacher appreciation gifts. And one of my most popular posts, which means lots of you out there like it too!
So I asked my friend Carli with Dimpleprints to make me a “Thanks for Helping Me Grow” gift card tag so I could update my flower pot gift and we could give it to my daughter’s teacher on flower day.
I recreated the same flower pot using my previous tutorial, which you can find here. Then I planted some flowers in the pot.
I attached a gift card to the free printable from Dimpleprints and secured it to a bamboo skewer. I stuck the stick down in the flowers and now we have a thank you gift that shows our teacher just how much we appreciate her!
Teachers really do help students grow and I hope you’ll take the time to say thank you to the special teachers in your child’s life. In case you missed it I also shared ideas and free printables for teacher appreciation gifts here, here, here and here! Which gift do you think your teacher would appreciate the most?

Im having trouble printing…do I need to sign up with the program in order to print? Thanks
Hi Robin, sorry to hear you are having trouble with the file. I’ve emailed the PDF to you, but if you are still having trouble please feel free to email me at mariah(at)gigglesgalore(dot)net.
I’m having trouble printing too. Would you mind sending me the PDF? This is so perfect!
Kendra, I’ve sent you an email with the PDF file. Please let me know if you still have trouble with the file.
I’m having trouble printing too. Can you email me the PDF file as well? Thanks!!!
Justine, yes I just sent you the PDF file via email. Thanks for stopping by!
Is there any way to get the gift card to say “thank you for helping us grow” instead if me?
I hope to use this as part of a class gift to my daughters teachers.
Thank you!
Rachel, Great idea! I’ll have it updated and send you an email with the new version.
Sadly… I am trying to print these tags that are the pencils “Teachers lead in the Write direction”. It is super late and I need this for tomorrow. Hoping you get this soon & can email me the PDF.
Thanks!!
Joi, I sent you an email with the files. Please let me know if you are still having trouble with the file.
I am tring to print it too and having trouble
You are the best…..thanks so much!
What kind/type of paint do you use for the pot?
Amy, I’ve done them a few different ways. I’ve used chalkboard spray paint, chalkboard paint and just plain black acrylic craft paint, they all work great and allow you to write on them with chalk.
Can you send me the file? Tomorrow is the last day of school and I have been trying to print these for days and I am having difficulty!
Thank you in advance.
Karen, check your email I’ve sent you the PDF. Let me know if you are still having trouble.
Please send me the PDF too?! I’ve painted and ready to print :/ Thanks 🙂
Angela, I’ve sent it to you. Check your email and let me know if you have any trouble with the file I sent. Thanks.
Ah. Thank you ever so much, Mariah! I’ll have to post pics when I’m done 🙂
This is super adorable! My girls are only in daycare, so our teacher appreciation week is this week to accommodate last week’s “graduation” to “big school.” 🙂 This is perfect for them to give to their teachers!! Would you mind emailing me the pdf file as well? I’ve been trying to print but haven’t had any success. Thanks so, so much!
Can you please email the PDF to me as we’ll. thanks.
Christy, I have updated the link so you might give it another try. I’ve also emailed the file to you just in case you are still having trouble. Thanks!
Hi Mariah, Can you send me the pdf of this? It’s not letting me print.
Thanks!
Hi Kelly, I sent you the PDF please let me know if you are still having trouble.
Such a cute idea!
Question:
What type of gift card would be appropriate, movies, dinner, Costco – and money wise, what would be a considerate amount, but sincere. Is it proper etiquette to even give a gift card to teacher? Thanks!!
Thanks. Teachers love gift cards, they are practical gifts they can use! If you know your teachers favorite restaurant or store buying a gift card to that location is ideal, if not then you can also get a more generic card to a store like Target or a Visa card. Depending on what other gifts I am giving I like to do a gift card for $15-25.
Could u send me the file please 🙂 thanks!
Would it be possible to get the updated pdf for a class gift, with the wording change to “thank you for helping us grow”? Thank you!
Andrea, I sent you an email with an updated version of the tags. Let me know if you need anything else!
Hello I love your creativity!! Is there any way you can email me the template saying thanks for helping me grow please!!!!! help lol
Love your site and all your ideas, I’m trying to print the thanks for helping me grow sheet and it won’t print in color; wondering if that is the issue others were having as well?

Could you please email me the “us” version? Thank you SO much for the great ideas and the help with our end of the year teacher gift!
Thanks Elizabeth, we sent you the “us” version via email.
Hello!
Would you be so kind to email me a copy of the “Thank you for helping US grow” version?

Hi there, if you still have the ‘us’ version, can you please email that to me? Would love to use it on teacher gifts from the class. Love the tag!
Thanks in advance!
Hi Silvia, thanks for stopping by. I’ve emailed you with the ‘us’ version of the tag.
What type of paint did you use on the pot to ensure it doesn’t flake off after watering?
Hi Vanna, I used the DecoArt outdoor acrylic Patio Paint, and once the paint was dry I sprayed the entire pot with the Americana spray sealer.
