Teacher Appreciation Gifts

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.

Sentimental Gift

Having your child create something sentimental for a teacher can go a long way. I know my husband always appreciated gifts that had thought put into them. I love this idea from Grace Giggles and Naptime of a beautiful yet simple craft that your child can make.
