It's nearing the end of the school year, and parents across the nation are once again looking for a unique gift to show gratitude to their children's teachers. The economy being what it is, budgets are tight. Undoubtedly, the last thing teachers need is another apple-related knick knack. So, here is a reasonably-priced, easily personalized, and highly useful token of gratitude.

Made of linen, these beautiful cutwork bookmarks come in a convenient dozen-pack. Just add a single monogram or, in this case, an apple-themed embroidery design, and it is a gift that your child's teacher will actually use and they probably won't have another one like it.

Teacher Designs:

• I Love to Teach
• If You Can Read Thank a Teacher
• Teaching is a Work of Heart
• World's Greatest Teacher

Tips for Bookmark Embroidery:

• Press well before embroidery. Light starch also helps keep linen crisp.
• Embroidery designs may need to be slightly reduced to fit the bookmark's width.
• Use a self-adhesive stabilizer for easy no-hooping hooping.

Take it to the next level with a gift card to a local lunch spot, book store, or office supply.

 If you can read this, you really should thank a teacher!
