I have been wanting to share with you this fun idea for a thank you gift for coaches, that is both affordable (especially if you use the FREE offer below) and very meaningful. I have been making these for my son’s sports coaches for the past few years, and they are always a hit. All you need is a collage photo of the team members (I usually do an 8×10) and then a large white mat.
Gather all of the team members and one by one, let them sign their names to the photo mat with a sharpie marker. If the coach has a son on the team, I usually try to highlight a photo of him and his son just to make it extra special for him.
Coaching is a hard job, and I think that this gift is a great way to say thank you!
Walgreens quite often has a special on these collages so you can usually get them made pretty affordably and I love that they are usually ready in an hour (not that I’m usually in a rush or anything!!)
They key to being successful with these team collages is making a point to get photos of the kids during the year and then you can also ask parents to submit their favorite photos. Such a fun keepsake and very affordable too!

Love this idea. What did you use for the white frame part for the signatures?

Great idea! Do you just use a photo mat or do you put it all in a frame?
