10 Thoughtful End of Year Teacher Gift Ideas That You Should Consider

Teacher's tin gift for end of year

Why do we buy our favourite teacher/teaching assistant a gift?

After this year of uncertainty, home schooling and Zoom lessons we have had even more insight into what an accomplishment teaching is.

A small present given as a token of thanks is a nice thing for a pupil to do. It shows the teacher, or their assistants, the appreciation you feel for all their hard work.

Sending a heartfelt, handwritten note with your chosen gift will show them how much you have valued their support all through the year. A note to say how much you enjoy their lessons is personal and doesn’t take too long either.

Take the stress out of what gift to buy your teacher

To save you time, we’ve pulled together a handy top ten list of thoughtful end of year teacher gifts.

For our female teachers, we have included beautifully scented candles with the perfect thank you message and Joma Jewellery, which says it all in one gorgeous bracelet.

For the hard-to-buy-for male teachers there is a host of fun goodies to make them feel valued.

Any of the above presents, accompanied by a little handwritten note, would make the perfect leaving gift for your favourite teacher.

A note of gratitude is often underestimated but it is known to make the recipient feel most appreciated.

At this time of year, we are often asked about phrases that communicate the perfect way to show thanks. Here are a few of the firm favourites we’ve used over the years for handwritten gratitude notes:

  • You are an amazing teacher who has made a difference in my life
  • I will always be grateful to have had you as my teacher
  • Thank you for everything you do for me. You are the best
  • I may not remember everything you said but I will never forget how special you made me feel
  • You are the BEST

We would love to hear how your teacher reacts to the cards and gifts they receive. Please share your thoughts on our socials or comment below.

Home or away, here’s hoping you can relax and enjoy the school holidays.
