In the spirit of celebrating our hardworking teachers, I’ve come up with a fun and adorable gift idea inspired by the beloved children’s book “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” by Laura Numeroff. Teachers play such a crucial role in shaping young minds and deserve all the appreciation they can get. So why not show your gratitude with a perfect thoughtful treat?

Free Printable Gift Card Holder Instructions
To create this adorable gift, start by downloading and printing the PDF file from the link below. Print in color on white card stock.
Carefully cut along the outer edges of the tag.
Next, fold along the dotted lines and secure with a glue stick to create a holder for a gift card. Slip a coffee shop gift card into the holder.
Make a single hole punch at the top.
On the way to school grab a cup of coffee and chocolate chip cookies. Tie it all together with a ribbon or string, and your thoughtful gift is ready to go! If you don’t want to transport coffee no worries just attach the tag to a cookie.
NOTES:
- Print the actual size. The marking on of one of the flaps of the gift card holder will not print, but it is okay, just freehand cut mirroring the shape of the opposite side.
- If you don’t want to give a gift card but only coffee and cookie I have included plain gift tags.
- Wrap cookies in cookie boxes or a small plastic bag tied with themed ribbon to make them extra cute.
