How Your Child Can Show Some Love to Their Favorite Teacher

Teacher Appreciation Day is the perfect opportunity to show your child’s teacher how much you and your child appreciate all their hard work. It is more important than ever to show appreciation as they play a vital role in our children’s lives and often go above and beyond what is required of them. If you’re stuck on what to get them, we’ve got you covered. From personalized gifts to items that will help them in the classroom, we’ve got something for every type of teacher. And the best part? All of these gifts are easily available in most stores and can be found at different price points.

Stationery Items

Things for a desk like a personalized mug are a great way to show a teacher you appreciate them. Get a personalized mug with their name on it or a special message. This will let them know you took the time to make something just for them. Likewise, this same idea can be applied to pencil and pen holders, and writing utensils. Most teachers will also appreciate a replenishment of classroom supplies to use while teaching.

Plants and Flowers

A potted plant is another gift that keeps on giving! Not only will your teacher appreciate the plant itself, but they’ll also think of you every time they water it and watch it grow. Plus, plants are known to boost productivity and improve mental health, so it’s a win-win! Likewise, fresh flowers are a beautiful treat for any teacher. Try ordering a vase arrangement from your local florist and send it to their classroom for a sweet surprise that they can then take home.

A Basket Filled with Their Favorite Things

You might want to ask your child if they know some of their teachers’ favorite things. This is a great way to show their teacher you care about them as an individual. A perfect teacher appreciation gift is a care basket. Creating a care basket is super easy, all you need to do is choose a cute basket and fill it with items such as candy, coffee, flowers, or anything else you think they may enjoy. If you consider yourself a baking master, you can also throw in some homemade treats such as brownies or cupcakes.  Be sure to package the sweets up nicely so they can take them home easily. As with any food, be sure to ask about allergies or dietary restrictions beforehand.

A Homemade Gift

If you are crafty, consider making your teacher a homemade gift. A bejeweled picture frame is a perfect gift for a teacher that loves unique items. Or, you can even create a special piece of jewelry that will blow your child’s teacher away. We suggest creating a stunning necklace, as these are quite easy to put together with the right tools.

Gift Cards

Teachers often have to spend their own money on supplies for their classrooms. A gift card to their favorite restaurant or store will let them know that you appreciate their dedication to their job and you are happy to help them out. If you are unsure of what their favorite store or restaurant is, a VISA gift card is a great choice as it can be used anywhere.

Conclusion

Sometimes, the simplest gifts are the best. A handwritten note expressing your gratitude is sure to touch your teacher’s heart. You could include a story about how they’ve helped your child, have your child also write their thanks, or create a memorable piece of stationery they will be able to look back on through the years. Whatever you choose to give for Teacher Appreciation Day, they’re sure to appreciate the sentiment!
