Teacher Appreciation gifts your child’s teacher will love

12/04/15 | Celebrate, Christmas

Teacher Appreciation gifts will love

  Today we want to share 10 of our favourite teacher appreciation gifts . Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year and while we are looking for just the right gift to surprise our loved ones it’s also a wonderful time of year to recognize our teachers (and don’t forget your babysitters or child care professionals)! My kids have great teachers and even though gift-giving is not an expectation I still want them to know that they are having a positive impact in my children’s lives. 

Let me start with: What NOT to get teachers

Please, do not give into the temptation to buy:

1) another coffee mug (their cupboards are full) or
2) more Christmas knick knacks or ornaments (they have plenty… and the longer we’ve been teaching… the more they have.)

What TO get– we rounded up our 10 favourite teacher appreciation gifts they are going to love!

    That peppermint sugar scrub does sound nice. I’d like to make and gift that to my son’s teacher here!

    I am a teacher and I agree with all of the above…particularly the coffee and ice cream. Also female teachers really like a nice lotion and hand sanitizer (not the cheap kind) for our desks as well

    These are such great ideas! Teachers are so important and these are new fresh ideas, not the same old tired gifts. Great ideas.

    I’ve often wondered how un-thrilled teachers must be with the same gifts all the time. These make great ideas for a change!

    These are all great ideas. I like that you mentioned male teachers because they really are harder to buy for! I find gift cards are great for them.

    Yes, you can’t forget the teachers! They work so hard all year round and deserve our respect for teaching our kids. We found out that my son’s first grade teacher loves lady bugs, so I’ve been collecting lady bug themed things through out the year to include in a little gift for her that includes a resturant gift card. I figure everyone eats. I made the mistake one year of doing a coffee themed present, but it turned out that teacher didn’t like coffee, she was a tea drinker. Sometimes you have to think a little bit more outside the box when it comes to gifts.

    Awesome ideas! I bet they really love the soap one, because of all the germs they’re around.

    I always dread special holidays and end of the school year because I feel I need to get something for my son’s teacher. I never know what to get though! Those are some really good ideas!
