Teachers deserve an extra thank you during the holidays. These dedicated heroes take care of our children, plan lessons, spend hours grading, and much more. It’s nice to show appreciation for their hard work during the holidays with a trinket or special gift. Sometimes the winter holidays creep up on us, but this year we’ll be ready with a great gift.
Plan your gifts now with our comprehensive gift guide packed with unique ideas for teachers. Whether you’re spending $18 or $100, you’ll find something special here to show you care. The $25 range is common when budgeting for gifts for teachers, but many classes are organized to go to a present together. We also have suggestions for class gifts: a air purifier or Amazon card are solid purchases. If you are alone, a personalized gift because the classroom is reflective, like a stamp or a notepad. We’ve got other handy picks, including a filtered water bottle and sturdy bag, and of course there are suggestions for classics like chocolates or candles. And even if you can’t spend on teachers this year, a personal note goes a long way too.
