Four simple teacher appreciation gifts that teachers will love!
Teacher appreciation gifts do not have to be elaborate or overly Pinterest-inspired. The point is to be intentional and simple. As the wife of an assistant principal and former teacher, I know how much these gifts mean.
There are endless ideas for gifts, but in an effort to keep things simple, I am sharing four of my favorite ideas. I love these because they are practical and teachers will love them!

5 Teacher Appreciation Gifts
Thank You Note
A simple note can go a long way. Teachers work so hard and often are bringing work home. Have your child draw a picture or write a nice note to their teacher. You can use this free printable as a template. Download here.

Gift Card
A gift card is a great gift for a teacher! You can give an Amazon card or a more specific card. If you know the teacher’s favorite coffee shop or restaurant, it would be nice to give them a gift card there. Check out this cute way to present the gift card thanks to Lake Life State of Mind.

Notepad
Teachers are constantly writing down all of the things! I love the idea of gifting a teacher one of the beautiful notepads from Simple Purposeful Living. The brain dump, errand list, or weekly plan note pad is a great gift option! Plus, it is a unique gift. Pair it with a pack of pens, and it is a gift all teachers will love. Use the code KERISNYDER for a discount!
Classroom Supplies
Teachers are always in need of supplies for the classroom. Put together a basket full of supplies with a thank you note and you will have a great gift! Here are some basics to include:
- Hand Sanitizer
- Disinfectant
- Tissues
- Paper Towel
- Dry Erase Markers
- Crayons
- Colored Pencils
- Pencils
- Printer Paper
- Erasers
- Markers
What other teacher appreciation gifts would you add to the list?
Take some time to pick one of these or another intentional idea and put together a gift for your child’s teacher. Teachers deserve to be thanked and these are great ways to do so.

I love that these ideas are not over the top or say “teacher” all over them.
