The school year is almost at an end and it’s time to start thinking about the right gifts for teachers. For those with young children, you will only need to shop for one teacher whereas older children have several teachers guiding them through all of their learning material for the year. Here are some thank you gift ideas for all needs and budgets.

Thank you gifts for her

If you are shopping for a female teacher, you have several wonderful gift hamper options. You can say thank you with a delicious food hamper, a chocolate hamper, or even an elegant champagne hamper. If you are not sure about her dietary preferences or needs, pamper hampers are an excellent way of showing your gratitude as well.

Gifts for him

If you are shopping for a male teacher, you might like to do a little undercover investigating. Try to get in touch with another teacher or two and ask them if they know what your child’s teacher prefers to drink – wine, beer or even whisky. Once you know their drink of choice, you can shop accordingly. If you are not able to determine their preferences, then a food hamper is always a safe bet.

Affordable thank you gifts

If you are shopping for multiple teachers, you might not be able to really splash out and spend large amounts on each of them. This is where cheap hampers come to your rescue! There is a common misconception that cheap hampers look the part but, if you choose the right hamper vendor, your affordable gifts will look amazing! Presentation really is everything and, when the gift looks great, it will have an wonderful impact on the recipient. Cheap hampers allow you to choose several different or identical hampers to present to all of your child’s influential teachers. It’s your way of showing them each that you have not forgotten about them and you appreciate all of their efforts.

On a final note, it’s important for parents to remember that teachers do not only work while they are at school with our children. Teachers arrive early, return home later than all the school children and they often take work home with them. Homework, projects and tests need to be graded while new lessons need to be planned. It’s all part of the job and it often means that teachers work even longer hours than most regular jobs. Which is all the more reason to show some appreciation and send thank you gifts at the end of this school year.
