As the school year wraps up, there’s no better time to show a little appreciation for the incredible teachers, staff, and caretakers in our lives. I love gifting something thoughtful and useful—especially if it gives off major summer vibes!

This year’s end-of-year thank-you gift? A linen beach throw paired with sunscreen, wrapped up with love and topped off with the cutest sunshine-inspired tag. Keep scrolling to grab the free printable and see how easy this gift is to recreate!

What I Used:

• A neutral linen beach throw (lightweight, soft, and summer-ready)
• A bottle of sunscreen (because skin care is self-care)
• Optional: ribbon or twine to bundle them up
• FREE printable gift tag that says “Goodbye lesson plans, hello sun tan!”

How to Put It Together:

1. Fold the beach throw neatly and place the sunscreen on top.
2. Wrap the bundle with twine or pop it in a cute reusable bag.
3. Print out the gift tag (on cardstock works best!) and attach it with a clip or hole punch + twine.
4. Gift it and prepare for big smiles!
