Hey you! We see you there shopping for teachers’ gifts. Step away from the coffee mugs! Just slowly back away. You know you can do better than that, and honestly, every teacher in 2020 deserves more. It’s been an unprecedented year.
We asked some teachers about their likes/dislikes when it comes to gifts. (As noted above, they don’t want more mugs.) Here’s what topped their lists:
Gift voucher to local business: Support local businesses by giving a gift card. Independent bookstores, coffee shops, restaurants, ice cream shops and specialty retailers have had a tough year. Slip a gift card into a handmade thank you card from your child and DONE!
Stationery items: Personalised note cards are always a good idea. Pair with some post-it notes and pens and you’ve got a great, useful gift for any teacher. Check out some of these gorgeous options on etsy: https://fave.co/36LPMf6
Stuck On You is giving away six $500 credit cards to teachers. Go to this link to nominate your favourite teacher! Wouldn’t this be a nice surprise? Entries end 4th December.
Pick up a self-inking stamp for your teacher while you’re on the website. Just add a book for their personal library and you’re all set.
Things to put inside all of the mugs and drink bottles they’ll get from other families: If you can find out your teacher’s beverage of choice, then coffee beans, Nespresso pods, tea bags, or wine all make great gifts. Practical and useful.
Personal care items: Skip colognes and perfumes (too personal) but you can’t go wrong with pretty soaps, lotions, sunscreen, hand santisers, and lip balms. Pop them in a cute little basket with some cellophane.
These “bauble” sets by L’Occitane already have the cute packaging taken care of, and there’s one for men too.
Mani/pedi kit:
These 60 second Rimmel polishes are half off right now. Choose a few bright colours for summer and pair with foot mask and a pair of fuzzy socks in a cosmetic bag.
Beach towel: Pick up one of these premium sand free towels from Adairs on sale, pair it with a magazine and wrap with a ribbon. Your teacher will be feeling those summer vibes in no time!
Have you seen these fun face vases? Pick-up a pot plant or succulent from a local greenhouse and you have an adorable and unique gift! The vase is on sale here:
Hopefully we’ve given you some easy ideas that will put a smile on your teacher’s face. They have earned a nice, long, relaxing summer break. I think we all have!
