The last school year has been challenging as teachers had to navigate teaching either in-person, online or a hybrid.  Teacher Appreciation Week is May 3 – 7 this year.  While your child may not see their teacher(s) in person, you can still get them a gift for Teacher Appreciation Week or for the end of the school year.  If your child’s schedule is fully remote, you can arrange a time to drop off the gift(s) at the school and always follow up by email to ensure they received it.

What should I get as a gift?

Showing your appreciation can mean something as simple and meaningful as a handwritten thank you note from your child to their teacher.  You may also consider having the entire classroom donate towards a bigger gift from the class.  Here are a five of our favorite teacher gift ideas to inspire you:

No matter in-person or online, every teacher could use his/her own set of personalized Post-it® notes.  The Apple and Pencil Border Post-it® Pack has an optional holder so it can sit nicely on their desk and makes it easy to jot down notes for themselves, their students or parents.

Have a little fun with a gift that takes the year into account with the Teachers are Virtually Unstoppable Chunky Notepad.  Perfect for jotting down notes during class or at home.

The personalized Nantucket Deluxe Tote Bag is perfect for carrying assignments, grade books, lunch, etc.  In the summer it serves a dual purpose as a beach/pool tote to enjoy their time off!

Show your teacher their #1 with the #1 Teacher Personalized Tervis Water Bottle.  Easy to take on-the-go, every teacher needs to stay hydrated during the day, so why not give them something that’s memorable and practical?

Something a teacher always needs is personalized note cards.  These Alphabet Teacher Folded Note Cards are perfect for writing thank you notes for all their gifts, personal notes to students and classroom volunteers.

With the school year almost over, start planning your teacher gift(s) now so they know just how much you’ve appreciated them during this difficult school year!
