Teachers play an important role in their students’ lives and deserve to be celebrated for their hard work. Whether you’re showing them your appreciation during the holidays or at the end of the school year, we found a variety of items that will earn you an A+ in gift giving.
Julie Kenney, founder and CEO of The Gifting Experts, encourages adding a personal touch to their gift. “It doesn’t have to be expensive,” she says. “By far, the favorite teacher gifts are the personalized gifts that come from the kid’s heart or a note or words of gratitude.”
To find the best gifts for teachers, we researched all the goodies out there that your favorite educator might be delighted to unwrap on any occasion, whether school supplies and self-care items. We also tapped Kenney and Eden Delaune, founder of gifting company Bisette, for expert gift-giving advice.
