Unique Teachers Gifts - The Best Ways to Say Thank You

No matter what time of year or occasion, a teacher always appreciates a great gift to thank them. The thing is, most teachers would prefer a more useful or thoughtful gift, instead of just another coffee mug or apple paperweight. What better way to say thank you, than to receive a gift they haven't already received a hundred times. There's just one problem. Where do you find them?

Actually, finding them might just be even easier than deciding what you are looking for in the first place. So, what do you give? Here are some great ideas that never get old, and some new ideas you may not have considered:

- Gift Cards. Gift cards never get old. Although you may want to give a teacher something personal, the reality of it is that most teachers end up spending some of their own money for classroom supplies every single year. You can always give a card to a spa, which is a fabulous personal gift, but not everyone has a budget for that. Even a $5 gift card to Target or Walmart can help them not dip into their own funds for the year and is much appreciated by your teachers.
- Secret Book Box -- These are beautiful antique books that have been recycled and turned into something truly unique. These book boxes look like books, but are a actually a secret storage box with a secret storage compartment. Simple a very cool gift to get and they come in a variety of titles to suit the recievor.
- "Monthly" Clubs -- Did you know you can get a subscription to a monthly club? They have fruit of the month, wine, coffee, beer, pizza, chocolate... just about anything you can think of. They have a variety of subscriptions for every budget, and your teacher gets appreciated monthly by it! Great gift. Its nice to have a pleasant surprise in the mail when you get home.
- Give a Bouquet or Gift Basket -- it doesn't have to be flowers either. They have lovely edible bouquets, like fruit, and and cookies. A gift basket or bouquet is a great gift that can be shared with their own family when they get home, or kept at the school for their enjoyment. Baskets and bouquets are both practical and customizable. Everyone loves food and flowers, but you can also put together a great package of supplies yourself from your local dollar store.
- Make something personal. It may sound cheesy, but a handwritten letter is heartfelt and cherished by great teachers -- especially coming from young students in their own handwriting (mistakes and all). Teachers spend a lot of time with their students, and often grow quite fond of them. For those on a tight budget, and even those who aren't, consider including a handwritten thank you. It may just be the best gift they get.


Whatever you choose to give to your teacher, you shouldn't get hung up on the cost. It just like the old saying, "it is the thought that counts." As long as what you give is thoughtful, your teacher is sure to love it.
