Teacher Gift Ideas

Tis the season of teacher gifts!  Our school had their own teacher appreciation week.  Then it was national teacher appreciation week and the end of the year is quickly approaching.

I have gotten some really thoughtful gifts that I thought would make great teacher gifts for others.  And you could easily make them work for any budget.

1. A local bakery was offering personalized cookies sets.  So cute and so yummy!

2. A new cup that you know they'll love.  Maybe their favorite color or one ot match their classroom theme - smiley faces!  My kids get so excited when I drink out of the cups that they have given me.

3. Nothing Bundt Cake put together cute teacher cakes to gift.  My student grabbed my favorite flavor and added a gift card to a favorite local restaurant.  The mini bundts are such a yummy treat all by themselves and you can easily add on a gift card if it works for your budget.

4. This is especially true in elementary school, match your gift to the classroom theme.  Our team has four different themes - cactus, farm, woodland creatures and smiley faces.  I know we'd all enjoy getting gifts that match our vibes.  We have other class themes like Snoopy, jungle, a favorite team or a coffee shop.

5. An umbrella and local chocolates.  This gift came with a note that said Thank you for showering my child with love and learning this year.  The umbrella has smiley faces on it and the variety box of chocolates from a local chocolate shop is such a treat!  How clever and cute!

Look at this darling teacher assortment!  I love trying all the different flavors.

6. A plant!  Look at this pretty pot and pretty plant.  I'm excited to find the perfect spot for it at my house.

Each of these gifts came with the nicest notes and I think I appreciate those the most.  It just is so rewarding to hear about how you have impacted children and to hear about their favorite things about being in your class.  So no matter what your end of the year budget looks like, EVERYONE can send a thank you note or thank you email to your child's favorite teacher(s).  It will make their day!
