Teachers are classroom rock stars! They put an overflow of energy, love, and time into teaching our children and enriching their lives. They introduce new ways of thinking and problem solving. They provide resources to help our children build up their funds of knowledge. As parents it’s important that we show our appreciation to both teachers and school staff. Below are thoughtful teacher appreciation gift ideas. Remember to include a lovely handwritten thank you note with your teacher appreciation gift. It will go a long way in reinforcing good parent-teacher communication. Because teachers always appreciate positive feedback, a thoughtful thank you note expressing gratitude will make your child’s teacher feel super appreciated! If you’re not sure what to write inside your teacher thank you note, find beautiful wording examples here: Teacher Thank You Notes.

Best Teacher Gifts | Calligraphy Set
Teachers love good penmanship. Throughout the school year they create bulletin boards, write on the chalkboard, and create special signage. The art of calligraphy is a skill they’d love to master! A calligraphy book and pen set is a fabulous teacher gift they will actually use.

A darling apron is an ideal gift for preschool and kindergarten teachers.

No gift is more versatile and practical than a teacher gift card.

Other teacher gift cards that are always much appreciated are those from a well-known retailer, Starbucks, Peet’s Coffee & Tea, a popular restaurant chain, or Fandango.
