As we prepare for the new school year, one of the most exciting events is just around the corner—Meet the Teacher! It’s a chance to welcome our new students and their families into our classroom community. To make this event even more memorable, why not add a little extra touch with personalized gift tags? Trust me, these small tokens can create a big impact!
Why Gift Tags Are a Game-Changer
Gift tags are more than just cute decorations—they’re a fantastic way to show your excitement and make families feel welcome. A thoughtful gift tag not only adds a personal touch but also sets a positive tone for the year ahead. It’s a great way to start building those all-important relationships with your students and their families.
Fun and Creative Gift Tag Ideas that are NOT Food Related
Let’s dive into some creative gift tag ideas that you can use to pair with your student gifts:
1. “In our class, we STICK together.”
Attach this tag to a sticky hand. I love that it emphasizes teamwork and unity. Plus sticky hands are so inexpensive for a BIG pack. I have shared them with my teammates, used them multiple years in a row, and still have left overs!
I created these tags with an easy-to-use feature that allows you to type in your grade level, and it will automatically fill in the rest. Additionally, there’s a name component. If you know your students’ names, you can type them in, and they will autofill onto all the tags. All you need to do is print, cut them out, and attach them to your gift!
2. Let’s WRITE a fantastic year together.
Pair this tag with a pencil or a set of colorful pens. It’s perfect for inspiring your students to look forward to their writing adventures!
I think pairing it with pencil this key chain from Amazon is ADORABLE! You can also pair it with this multi-color pen.
3. Thanks for POPPING in!
Attach this tag to a fun popper or bubbles. It’s a playful way to thank families for joining us and to kick off the school year with a burst of excitement!
4. Let’s make our learning POP!

5. We are going to have a BALL!
Use this tag with a small bouncy ball or ball-themed gift. It’s a fantastic way to express how much fun and excitement await us in the upcoming school year!
6. Let’s BOUNCE into a year of learning and fun!
