8 Unique Ways To Say Thanks To Teachers

If children are the future then teachers are the very foundations of society – educating the nurses, scientists, and leaders of tomorrow! Say thank you for their vital wisdom and support in educating your children over the last year. We have 8 fantastic gift ideas for teachers for fun ways to say thanks that will put you at the top of the class – find everything from desk decor to gifts from the whole class!

Thank You Cards


Sometimes words do speak louder, and a personal message of thanks is a wonderful way to convey your gratitude. Every teacher is sure to appreciate a thoughtful thank you card from their student, and it’s the perfect opportunity for your child to reflect on all they have learned throughout the year. A keepsake card is a lovely way to make your card go just a little bit further, providing them with a beautiful decoration to remember you by.


Desk-top Gifts


A teacher’s desk is a memorable part of the classroom and a huge part of every teacher’s daily life. Brighten up their desk with a colourful reminder of the positive impact they have had in shaping their students’ minds. From custom pencil pots to personalised coasters, there are lots of thoughtful ways you can help to decorate their desk. Be sure to add their name to the gift for something truly unique to them and their classroom.


Sing It, Don’t Say It


Co-ordinating a classroom of your children is no small feat – but the results can be absolutely amazing when you pull it off! Take on the role of choir teacher and try organising a short thank you song from the class as a surprise on the last day of school. If music isn’t your forte, there are lots of creative ways to get the kids together for a fun end-of-term experience. From a giant handprint collage to a lunchtime picnic in the classroom. Just make sure you talk to their school before planning anything too extravagant!


Sweet Treats


Fruit might be the standard break-time snack at school, but a sweet treat is always a welcome indulgence! Try baking them a homemade cake or cookie with your kids for a family activity that makes a charming gift. Alternatively, say thank you with a keepsake tin filled with delicious chocolates or sweets. That way, even when the treats have disappeared, they will be left with a lovely way to store their pencils or stationery.
