Can you believe that it is almost the end of the school year already? Time sure flies! So that you have plenty of ideas when the time comes, we wanted to share with you our favorite teacher appreciation gift ideas that they will adore!
1. Gift Certificate for a Manicure with Free Printable Gift Tag
I try to think of gifts that I would love to receive myself and this is certainly one that I would love to get! What a great way to thank a teacher – treat them to some pampering after a very busy year! (via Lolly Jane)
2. Coffee Themed Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea
I think the number one thing I hear teachers say when asked what they would like for a gift, they say that gift cards are their favorite because they can only have so many cups, mugs, and little decorations to put around the classroom. However, some feel like gift cards are not very thoughtful. I think this is the perfect solution: focus on a thoughtful way to present your gift card in a thoughtful way like this! For instance, packaging a Starbucks gift card in a cup with a cute personalized gift tag is an adorable way to jazz up a plain gift card and make it a bit more thoughtful. (via Just Add Confetti)
3. School Supplies Teacher Appreciation Gift
If you don’t want to get a gift card, try to get a gift that is practical and the teacher will use. A cutely packaged set of Sharpies like this or other school supplies are perfect because they will get a ton of use out of them. Teachers buy many supplies out of their own pocket, so giving them as a gift instead of another mug they don’t need is a great gift! (via Vicky Barone)
4. Thanks for Helping Me Grow Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea
Love the presentation of this gift that is very minimalist and doesn’t have an apple or pencil or ruler anywhere on it 🙂 Plus, it is a great gift, that anyone would love to have because it always adds to your home to bring a little greenery inside. (via Alice and Lois)
5. Target Gift Card Teacher Appreciation Free Printable
Every teacher LOVES Target. In fact, I think practically every person loves Target and will not have trouble finding something they want. So, use this free printable to add a cute, personal touch and get your teacher something he or she will really appreciate and use. Guaranteed not to disappoint. (via Landeelu)
6. Bee Themed Teacher Appreciation Gift
Ok, so I am a sucker for anything bee themed AND Burt’s Bees products, so this is the perfect combo for a pampering teacher appreciation gift idea for the end of the year. (via Smashed Peas and Carrots)
7. Hand Sanitizer with Printable Gift Tag
Is there any better gift than helping someone stay healthy? Teachers love hand sanitizer to try to stay healthy while constantly being exposed to so many germs so this is a practical gift that they will totally appreciate!(via Eighteen25)
8. Free Printable Teacher Appreciation Gift Tags
Pick one or two of these or do a whole themed gift basket. These are perfect gifts because they are things they actually want, but the free printable tags add a bit of personalization (yet are super easy for you to print out in seconds)! (via Skip to my Lou)
9. Thoughtful Classroom Gift
Besides mentioning gift cards, teachers always say that their favorite gifts are sweet notes or photos from their students that they hold on to forever. They love teaching because of the students, so a sweet homemade gift like this that lets them remember the sweet students they taught is priceless. (via Fun with Mama)
10. Amazon Gift Card Teacher Appreciation Gift
Just like Target, you can’t go wrong with an Amazon gift card for a teacher appreciation gift they are guaranteed to love! Grab this cute free printable card to personalize it. (via Paper Trail Design)
11. DIY Vinyl Clipboard
Teachers can always use clipboards so adding a cute personalized decal can be a great way to combine practical and thoughtful. If you have a Cricut or Silhouette, you’ll also want to check out SVG & Me for tons more free cut files. (via See Vanessa Craft)
