Looking
for a nice way to show your child’s teacher that you care? Looking for a
holiday gift? We’ve got ideas. Some are sentimental, some are funny, and some
are downright practical, but they will all surely be appreciated! When you’re
thinking about the best teacher gifts, you can either choose something they can
use in their classrooms or something they can enjoy during their much-needed
time off. Our list of the best gifts for teachers includes a terrific selection
of both, with options to fit any budget.
Quick
tip: Check your school’s gift policy before giving; some prohibit homemade
treats and/or gifts over a certain monetary value.
1. Thank-You Note
What gifts do teachers really want? Most
teachers we know say they would appreciate a
handwritten thank-you note over just about anything else. Truly, nothing beats
it. You don’t need to get fancy, but if you want to add a little something extra,
try one of these awesome greeting
cards for teachers to express your message.
2. Personalized Stationery
This
notepad will make your child’s teacher smile, knowing that you took the time to
personalize it for them. This is also perfect for them to write little
encouraging notes to their students and colleagues.
3. Gift Card
When
we asked our fans on Facebook about the best
gifts for teachers, the number-one answer is always the same: gift cards
& Pair it with a thank-you note to make it extra special!
4. Personalized Pen, Mugs and Keychain
Since
teachers often need to carry Pen & keychain to the school and a Coffee
Mug for releasing stress, what better gift than a Pen, Mug and Keychain or two?
We love the personalization option.
5. A little Planter
Everyone
loves a little plant (or 10 of them) in their classroom. Story of a Teacher; I
have one plant on my windowsill and it is basically our class pet. My students
even gave it a name. This one is a live plant and comes in a few different
adorable pot options.
