10 Unique Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas

May 6

Teachers do so much more than teach. They inspire, encourage, support, and shape young minds every single day - often with patience and dedication that goes far beyond the classroom. As another school year comes to a close, I wanted to share 10 gift ideas that can be used as end of the year thank you gifts or teacher appreciation gifts.

1. Frame a cute printable sign

This printable word art sign can be found in my Etsy Shop.

2. Gift Cards
Gift cards are a great gift option. Coffee shops, bookstores, Amazon, or even local restaurants — gift cards give teachers the freedom to treat themselves however they choose.

3. Gift Card Bouquet

If you’re wanting to be creative, create a gift card bouquet.

4. Books & Bookmarks

Gift a teachers favorite book to them. And what better to give with a book than a bookmark! You can find these printable bookmarks in my Etsy shop. Or be a little creative and create a bookmark pencil holder.

5. Gift Basket

Teachers deserve to relax! Create a Relaxation Gift Basket with candles, bath bombs, tea, lotion, or a cozy blanket to encourage a little “me time.”

Or create a baking gift basket for the teacher who loves to be in the kitchen.

6. Custom Tote Bags or Mugs
Design a tote bag or coffee mug with a funny teaching quote or personalized message they can use every day.

7. Plants or Flowers
A small potted plant, succulent, or bouquet brightens up any desk — and lasts longer than you’d think. Add a tag that says, “Thanks for helping me grow”.
