As the school year comes to a close, it’s time to start thinking about showing a little appreciation for your child’s teachers. They deserve it! But what to give? Many teachers will tell you they are inundated with gifts like chocolates, candles, and mugs. So, why not gift them something they’ll love and actually use? If you’re a parent looking for ideas, we’ve gathered a variety of gifts that will fit every budget.
Personalised notebook
Everyone knows the secret to tackling a to-do list is to have a pretty planner to write all the tasks down in. Look for one that has space for schedules, priorities, checklists and shopping lists while still maintaining a fun (not cheesy) vibe. Better yet, have the luxury notebook and stationery personalised with their name, and you’ve got a winner on your hands.
Lunch cooler bag filled with treats
This one is sure to come in handy. Shop around for a stylish lunch cooler bag or mini cooler box lunch box and then fill it with healthy snack bars, nuts, and dried fruit. It’s something the teacher can use every day and is sure to get an A+.
Colouring book
At the end of the day, anything you can give a teacher to relax is appreciated. A colouring book aimed at adults paired with a beautiful set of pencil crayons or paint will be something she can use in the holidays. Look for a colouring book that offer colouring sheets with funny phrases or relaxing scenes that are easy and fun to colour in.
Succulent with a personalised tag
Every teacher can use another plant for the classroom. For this gift, buy a cute, easy-to-care-for succulent in a beautiful pot. Then, you can make it pop with this customised wooden tag to say thank you for everything your child’s teacher has done for them.
Felt letter board
Spelling is so much more fun with a felt letter board. Whether your teacher chooses to use it during a lesson or prefers to display an encouraging message each day on it for her students, it’s a fun wordplay gift to give.
If you must gift chocolates…
And, if you simply must gift chocolates, then why not pair it with something that enables them to treat themselves, like a gift card? A gift card for a grocery shop, beauty or hair salon, or even an activity (like the movies, a museum, etc) would be greatly appreciated along with the sweet treat.
