Another school year is coming to an end and I am once again in awe of the teachers who have given my children everything and helped them grow in ways I couldn’t imagine.  A thank you gift will never be enough, but it’s a small token of appreciation that hopefully will convey just how much we love our teachers.

Below are some easy teacher gift ideas with a few tips for creating something any teacher will love and appreciate. Plus, free printable gift tags! 

A teacher gift can be a simple collection of items that your teacher will use, adorned with a fun gift tag and a personal note. Use these teacher gift tags printable to add a cute note to any teacher gift.

The most imporant part of any teacher gift is a handwritten note from their student. Encourage your kids to write something special. Give them the printable and a little time to prepare.

They can include things like what they like about school, a funny memory and what they learned this year.

Every teacher can use a nice notebook and pens or highlighters. These practical school supplies will be used in the classroom or at home. Tape a tag to a pretty spiral bound notebook and tie it up with a few nice writing instruments.

Some of my favorite writing tools

• Sharpie highlighters in assorted colors
• Felt tip pens have a fine point, won’t bleed and come in tons of colors
• Sharpie ultra fine point markers are a cult classic and loved by teachers

Fill a jar with Sharpies, because who doesn’t love a rainbow of markers, and add a colorful gift tag. This jar has a cardboard tube in the center so you can add a gift card or a little treat in addition to the markers.

A gift card that teachers can use like Walmart or Target is always a hit. There is a high likelihood that your child’s teacher shops at one of these stores. When in doubt, go with an amazon gift card.

A high school teacher in your life would love a handwritten sincere note from a student and a practical gift card.

If you really want to get crafty, pick up a terracotta pot and saucer for this gift idea.  Paint the pot and saucer red then glue on a felt leaf and the end of a pencil to turn it into an apple!  Fill the pot with candy and a gift card to complete this teacher gift.

No matter what you give to teachers, be sure to add a personal note.  I would say this about any gift.  A note from you as a parent or even better from your child means the world to an educator.  Take a few minutes to tell your favorite teacher how much he or she means to you and all the fun you’ve had this year.
