Signature note cards. Teachers are always writing alot of Thank you notes at the holidays and last year I gave my son’s teachers thank you note cards with their initials on them and they LOVED them…I bought mine at Michaels for a 1.00 a piece, or you can find them at JoAnn Fabrics too. Then I enclosed a gift card to Dunkin Donuts as well.

Give the teacher a gift card to a local store or restaurant or movie tickets.
I went to a school once where all the teachers were holding a yard sale. EVERY teacher had stationery sets, lotion sets, stuff that said A+ Teacher and candles all new and still in the packages. My sister asked, What are those? Gifts from the kids? one teacher rolled her eyes and said, You know it!

My son is 6. Last year I got his teacher Bath and Bodyworks gift set. She liked it. They have them right now for between $15.00-$20.00. ( I just left there) This year I got his teacher a bathrobe. I also like the Christmas Ornament suggestion. That’s a really good one. How about an ornament shaped like an apple?? That would be cute.

My sister is a teacher and the presents she appreciates most are those ones made by the children: some little object made by your daughter will be more valuable than something you have bought. You can make something to wear as a necklace, a picture, anything. Teachers appreciate the time and work their pupils had dedicated to them

As a teacher…I can tell you what isn’t a good gift. Do not get your child’s teacher a mug. I have so many mugs that I have had to give several away due to lack of storage for all of them. I appreciate things that I can use in the classroom. I love decorative notepads or seasonal note pads. As a teacher, I write notes all the time to parents, office staff, and other teachers. Believe me, the teacher will appreciate that gift.

A gift certificate to somewhere, especially a teacher supply store. A box of a zillion stickers–not the little teeny tiny dot ones, though. A subscription to Mailbox magazine. (Go to or Google it. It will show all the magazines, including the ones they have for kindergarten teachers.) Please don’t give a Christmas mug! My father still has the 20 or 30 odd mugs I’ve gotten over the years. No ornaments, either! He also keeps the box full of teacher ornaments I’ve gotten through the years that went up, on the rec room railing once.

A gift card for under $30 to a grocery store would be nice -and needed. Teachers just don’t make enough money. You know the teacher needs to buy food anyway, and this gives him or her a choice of what to buy- be it fancy wine, feta cheese, or several extra packs of burritos.
