Unique End of Year Teacher Gift Ideas

May 31, 2011 By

It’s always nice to show your teacher some gratitude at the end of the school year with a nice gift. The thing is, many people buy the same old stuff, like Best Teacher mugs. The novelty wears off after their first year working, so you should think outside the box. The trick is to get to know the teacher, and jot down what they like so you can get a gift customized to suit their personality. If you know they have kids, consider a family oriented gift. Below are some unique teacher gift ideas to help you choose a token of appreciation. If other parents donate toward the gift, you can get something substantial that’ll make a bigger impact, if not, keep it small but personalized. Most gift ideas are good for male or female teachers.

      AJ, the trick is to collect money from the other parents and jointly buy one substantial gift. I think they would appreciate that more than a lot of smaller duplicate gifts they may not even like.
