National Teacher Appreciation week is coming up May 4-8th! Since returning back to work, I rely pretty heavily upon the teachers at my son’s daycare, and they truly deserve some appreciation. Now that my son is entering his “terrible twos,” I wanted our gift to be a little more lighthearted. I know all the teachers at his daycare on a very personal level, and knew they would all find our gift to be funny.
We purchased wine for the teachers and then applied a custom label with his photo along with the phrase, “Our child might be the reason you drink, so enjoy this bottle on us!” We also included a personalized “thank you” gift tag on each bottle for the finishing touch.
Here is what you need:
-bottle of wine (be sure to remove the old label)
–custom wine labels
–circle hang tags
-fun decorative ribbon or string
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! #thankateacher
Used In This Project:
- Circle Hang Tags • I chose the “Ombre Sunset” style in turquoise.
- Wine Labels • I chose the “Vintage Chalkboard” style in chalkboard tuxedo.

Just wondering if we remove the label how would they know what type of wine it is?
Hi Leanna,
Stacy used a text label on the back of her wine bottles to explain what kind of wine it was. you can see them in the images above. Here’s the link for the text label she used: https://www.evermine.com/all_labels/preview/TLVC05-29/

I saw this on HuffPost! Pretty awesome! Congratulations
I saw you guys on the today show,so cool!!!! too bad Jay Leno’s joke kind of sent it to a different place. Great idea !!!!
Thanks Peg!
Can I request a slight modification to the wording without it being a big thing\expense. Basically change ‘our’ and ‘us’ to ‘my’ and ‘me’.

Hi James. You can personalize the text to say anything you like, and there’s no extra charge. 🙂
I just ordered mine and I can’t wait to give out as gifts for Christmas!
Do you print the picture as well?
Yep! You can upload any photo you like to the label.
I made a case of these for my kids’ teachers and they were SO well received!
My advice, for what it’s worth — before you buy a case of wine for these, test a bottle to be sure the label comes off nicely. They vary A LOT. I had some that took two days of soaking with an oxy-powered laundry powder solution, and others that came off in less than an hour. Beaujolais Nouveau by Georges duBoeuf labels came off like a dream!
Also, I used 3/8 inch ribbon, and it was sightly challenging to get through the hang tags. I ripped a few before I perfected my ribbon rolling technique. So maybe get a few extra hang tags or try thinner ribbon!
Hi Roxanne,
Yeah, some of those wine labels can be really difficult to remove. We like to soak the tough ones for an hour or two, and we’ll use a butter knife to pull up as much of the label as we can. Goo gone is perfect for removing the glue from the previous label, and then we’ll rub some rubbing alcohol over the glass to make sure it’s nice and dry for the new label.
Anyway, thanks for your tips! We’re glad glad your kids’ teachers liked them. 🙂
