No matter how hard I try to be prepared, Teacher Appreciation Week always sneaks up on me and I find myself scrambling to put together gifts that match the amazingness of my children’s teachers.
Does Teacher Appreciation Week take you by surprise as well? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with this top five list of go-to gifts that you can get quickly through Amazon Prime.
1. Gift Cards
Small gift cards are always appreciated by teachers. Whether it’s for a quick coffee on the way to school or a night off from cooking after a long day, teachers love gift cards. Amazon has really cute teacher appreciation-themed gift cards, as well as Starbucks and others (tip: Total Wine is a hit with teachers!)
2. Paper Mate Flair Felt Tip Pens or Sharpies
I surveyed all of my teacher friends and it’s true, Paper Mate Flair Felt Tip Pens and Sharpies are sought-after gifts for teachers. Remember to get them all the colors, not just black.
3. Keychain Wristlets
Teachers always need free hands that is why keychain wristlets are always a good small gift for a teacher. There are so many styles and colors that you can match to your favorite teacher’s personality!
4. Notecards
Teachers are always having to write notes or send thank you cards, so why not replenish their stock of cute notes cards? These cheerful designs will brighten his or her day.
5. A Thank You from Your Child
Teachers love sincere thank you notes (or drawings) from the children they teach. These cherished letters are held onto by teachers for years and are a great opportunity to teach your child how to express appreciation in the written (or drawn) form.
Slip the note in a special book like Because I Had a Teacher by Kobi Yamada. If you need help prompting your child on what to write, try The Teacher Appreciation Book. This is a fill-in-the-blank book where your child will be prompted to finish sentences like, “My teacher always loves when my class…”.
Hopefully, this list of gifts helps you find the perfect pieces to express appreciation to your favorite teachers this year.
