It comes once a year and presents to parents the opportunity to say “Thanks for all your hard work.” No, it’s not Christmas. Each spring, teacher appreciation week rolls around, and by now, you’ve witnessed or had reports of what your child’s teacher has had to endure throughout the year. You want to get them something special, but what do you get for someone who probably already has a collection of “No. 1 Teacher” mugs? You’ll find something for all your favorite teachers on this list.
Superpower Tote Bag
Teaching is absolutely a superpower. Remind them of their power with an adorable tote. It will help them carry books, papers to grade, and other daily essentials to and from school.
For Your Favorite Coach
Just because they get to teach dodgeball and baseball doesn’t mean the coaches have it easy. Find cute, customizable clipboards and other coaching essentials as a thoughtful way to say “thank you.”
Beloved Music Teacher
Since they have encouraged and nurtured your child’s blossoming talent for the fine arts, music teachers are special. Get them something fun and memorable like a wall clock or comfy T-shirt.
Cute Teacher Mugs
… because there’s never enough coffee. You can’t go wrong with a cute teacher mug.
Funny Bottle Labels
There are times when you’ve needed wine after surviving a challenging work day. Your child’s teacher is no exception, especially when there are 19 others in the class. Say “thanks for putting up with us” with a humorous wine bottle label.
For the Witty Teacher
There’s always a teacher with whom you can easily joke and laugh. Get a funny coffee thermos for the teacher that nails sarcasm. It will make them chuckle every time they reach for their coffee or tea.
Personalized Binder
There’s often plenty of paperwork for teachers to handle. From lesson plans, downloaded teaching units, and papers to grade — a pretty binder will help them keep it all organized—in style.
Custom Quote Poster or Tote
If you know the teacher’s favorite author or quote, this makes a great personal and thoughtful gift. If not, you can always customize with an inspiring or humorous quote about teaching. Having meaningful posters or canvases in the classroom makes things cozy and is a nice way for the teacher to remember your child. Grocery totes are also super practical and can be kept in the car for those last-minute trips on the way home from school.
Memorable Photo Planner
Help them keep track of staff meetings and parent conferences for the next year with a nice planner. Plus, it’s a great way for the teacher to remember all the students in your child’s class if a group classroom was taken.
Collaborative Gift
If your child’s class tends to do group gifts like homemade cards or each child bringing in a flower, this is an adorable way to present the bouquet and doubles as a keepsake. Pair it with gift cards to the teacher’s favorite coffee shop, and you have a perfect gift from the whole class.
