What are the best teachers gifts?

Choosing something unique and personal is a nice touch when giving a teacher gift. That might be a coffee mug, drink bottle, a photo puzzle, desk accessories or something a little stronger that is alcohol related. If you don’t know the teacher well enough, desk organisers, paper weights, mugs and lolly jars are great ideas for small and inexpensive teacher gifts.

Personalised gifts for teachers are a great idea, especially if you are buying for more than one teacher. A personalised keyring or tablet case is a practical gift for a teacher regardless of age or gender. If you want to spend a little more with a truly heartfelt teacher appreciation gift, or it’s a gift from the whole class then a leather compendium or notebook is a great personalised teacher gift idea.

Your child's teacher has had a busy year, so gifting them a personalised wooden wine box with a nice bottle of wine would be a great way to show appreciation and give them the opportunity to relax. If you’re wondering is alcohol an appropriate gift for teachers? The answer is yes! You can certainly give a nice bottle of wine as a gift to your child's teacher at the end of the year.

If you choose to gift a teacher alcohol, ensure that you deliver the gift personally or arrange for delivery to the school.

There are various occasions throughout the year when you can give a gift to a teacher. If an esteemed teacher is leaving school, it would be nice to give them a present from all the students. Similarly, if a teaching assistant has helped your child, a special thank-you gift would go a long way in recognising their hard work and motivating them to continue being an excellent teacher. Giving gifts for the classroom or practical items that a teacher can use at work can make great and affordable gift ideas. Some examples include compendiums, wall clocks, coffee mugs, drink coasters, lunchboxes and desk organisers. The most frequent time for giving gifts to teachers is at the end of the year, particularly during the Christmas season.
