It’s that time of year, Teacher Appreciation Day/Week…. Month? Whatever your school does, we do appreciate our teachers. They work so hard every school day, teaching our kids and giving them love. At the end of the year, parents like to make sure they know they are appreciated! But how to show it? There are a million ways. Let’s check out a few:

Best Gift Ideas for Teachers

Number one and two on this list are gift cards and food. Every year so far, at our school, homeroom parents send the teachers a survey and ask them what they like to receive as gifts. It’s typically gift cards and food. Our teacher loves coffee and breakfast tacos. Ya can’t go wrong with a prepaid Visa or Mastercard gift card.

Pair a gift card with some coffee or breakfast foods and you’ll be your child’s teacher’s favorite parent.

Now, gift cards and coffee/breakfast items are the way to go in my book. I’m lazy. But out there on the interwebs are some super crafty ideas for those who like to get more personal with their gifts. I think most teachers also appreciate thoughtful and crafty gifts as well. Let’s take a look at what I found.

I love these free printable gift tags found over on Kinder Craze. Pair these with the above along with a nice coffee mug or a bag of beans, and you’ve got a more personal gift.

With a little ingenuity and a good photo editor, you can do up this next idea.

Putting together a poster with some of the special things about your teacher will make her/his day! Along with some gifts too, that is. 😉

I love candy and so when I saw this crayon candy dish over at Two Sisters Crafting, I couldn’t resist. It’s just too perfect!

Show your Teachers that you Care!

Okay, technically that last one is a Valentine. But I think it makes a great Teacher Appreciation Gift as well. Pick out your teacher’s favorite bag o’ chips and give them a laugh. That’s something that everyone needs.
