A personalised thank you note, or a handmade card not only holds immeasurable value but will also help you express your immense gratitude towards your guru. You can get creative and decorate the card or note using colourful sheets, drawings, origami or pretty cut-outs, and more.

Make a personalised video

You can get together with your classmates to collect all the pictures through the years with your favourite teacher. Compile them into a video with each classmate's messages expressing your teacher's role in improving their lives and how much you appreciate them.

Memory book

It is quite similar to making a personalised video. To make a memory book, get a scrapbook or diary, paste photographs inside, and decorate it with colourful pens, doodle borders, glitter pens, and more. You can also write down your memories and messages to make your teacher feel special on this important day.

Get them flowers

Who doesn't like receiving flowers? Make Teachers' Day extra special by surprising your beloved teacher with a beautiful bouquet. Do your research a day before and find their favourite flowers to make the gesture meaningful. You can even make a vase using paper mache or clay (if you know pottery) or buy a plain pot from the market and decorate it using ornaments.

Stay connected

After leaving school or college, students often move on and lose connection with their teachers. This Teachers' Day, you can visit your school to visit your favourite teacher or give them a call to rekindle memories and express gratitude for helping you.
