Top 5 Tips for Teacher Gifts They’ll Love -

Summary

Your child’s teacher is on the front line of their growth and development. Day after day, their teacher encourages your child to try, supports them when they fail and redirects them when they falter emotionally or socially. Teachers give their all and make a profound difference in the lives of their students. The best teacher gifts make a difference in their lives as well! We have 5 great tips to ensure that the gifts you give the teachers in your children’s lives make an impact.

Teacher Gift Tip #1:

Give your child the opportunity to speak from the heart and let their teacher know the difference he or she has made! You can give older elementary children a few prompts and let them write their thoughts themselves. For pre-k kids and younger elementary children, you can ask questions and then write the answers they give. We have lots of sweet fill-in-the-blank Teacher Thank You pages you can download and print for free. Are you a room mom that wants to give a great teacher appreciation day present? Share the downloadable you choose with the other parents in your class and then collect all their pages to create a memorable keepsake that can serve as the “card” to go along with the gifts for your teacher!

Teacher Gift Tip #2:

The best presents for your teacher will make their life less stressful and more fun. Gifts like The Meal Gift - that allow recipients to choose the restaurant or meal delivery platform they redeem - are a foolproof way to ensure that your gift is one they’ll use and enjoy. Everybody is happy to have a meal eaten out or ordered in. Teachers don’t often have the disposable income to enjoy those simple pleasures as often as they would like. Steer clear of giving gifts that are too specific and might miss the mark. A gift card to a specific restaurant that doesn’t serve a cuisine they like or a spa gift for a teacher who would rather go rafting than have a massage is a wasted opportunity to give your teacher something they actually want.

Teacher Gift Tip #3:

Remember the helpers! Teachers often have para-professionals that assist in their classrooms every day and special area teachers for subjects like gym and music. These hardworking professionals make school the dynamic places where children grow and thrive, yet they are often forgotten when gifting time comes around.

Teacher Gift Tip #4:

Don’t be scared to go digital when it comes to a gift and card for your teacher! The logistics of bringing a physical gift to school and handing it to your child’s teacher can be tricky, especially once your child is in elementary school. A digital gift cuts through the obstacles and ensures that your teacher gets a great gift in a timely fashion! Our digital Meal Gifts are an easy way to gift the perfect teacher gift and personalize it with a greeting and message to make it as special as your teacher!

Teacher Gift Tip #5:

Show your support for your teacher throughout the year, not just at the end of year. It’s easier than ever to send a digital card or a small gift for their birthday or any day you want to let them know you appreciate all their hard work. Our free group digital greetings make it easy to send a message just from you and your family or invite the whole class.

We believe gifts can be a powerful way to celebrate and support. Good teacher gifts can make a difference in the lives of their recipients. Teachers make a difference in our world, let’s give the teacher gifts that make a difference in theirs!
