The Best End of Year Gift Ideas for Teachers

Teachers' classrooms always benefit from a little sprucing up, as they are sacred spaces where both teachers and children spend many hours a day learning. This is why we can't think of anything better than giving a teacher something fun and charming to decorate their classroom with. Such a special gift will not only remind them of the joy of teaching your little one, but it will also help brighten up their space, making it a warm and welcoming environment for all.

If your teacher is known for their upbeat, can-do attitude, then our Weekly Positivity Floral Desktop Flip Chart will make a great addition to their desk. Not only is it a nice decorative addition to their space, but they will also be able to indulge in positive affirmations while sharing uplifting mantras with their class each week.

Additionally, if they have a love for all things green, why not help them bring a little bit of the outside in by treating them to a sweet Teacher Tiny Matchbox Dried Flower Posy? Or, give a gift that lasts a little longer with our Mini Rainbow Brights Dried Flower Bouquet.

If your teacher is always bringing leftovers for lunch or whipping up gourmet salads and sandwiches, then the Sass and Belle Danish Pastel Lunch Bag is perfect. The stylish and practical lunch bag ensures their meals stay tasty and fresh, making lunchtime something to look forward to even more. 

Classically, gifting a teacher a ripe, crisp apple has always gone down well. However, some foodie gifts can last a little longer than their expiration date. Mix food and cute with the Tiny Matchbox Ceramic Apple Teacher Token. This charming ceramic apple can be placed on their desk in pride of place, serving as a constant reminder of your appreciation. Every time they look at it, they will think fondly of you or your child.

With so many tempting food and drink gift options available, it will be easy to find the perfect gift. No matter what you choose, it'll be a mouth-watering treat to mark the start of summer.

Is lunchtime your teacher's favourite time of the day? Is food always at the forefront of their mind, whether during evening or weekend plans? If so, we have some delicious recommendations. While food and drink gifts are often a smash hit, we've got some suggestions that add a fun twist to a classic gift.

Alcohol can be a great way for teachers to unwind at the end of term, but how about trying something different, like Gnaw Gin & Tonic Milk Chocolate? Infused with botanicals that have gin-like properties. Or let your little one choose a popular snack in a fun flavour they think their teacher would enjoy, such as the Popcorn Shed Birthday Cake Gourmet Popcorn or The Chocolate Gift Company Chocolate Mallow Mouthfuls which are both excellent choices. 

If a more practical approach to gifting is your style, we have a wonderful array of gifts sure to please every teacher. There are countless options when it comes to gifts that put the fun in functional, so we recommend considering the teacher's favourite things or pastimes and going from there. 

We know buying a mug can be a bit of a cliché, but we have a plethora of wonderful alternatives. If the first thing your science teacher does when they get to work is make a coffee, then the House of Disaster Turquoise Ombre Origami Dinosaur Mug makes for a sweet and quirky gift that can be used daily.

Teachers often have hoards of books and papers to transport to and from school. If your teacher is passionate about being eco-friendly, this beautiful Kind Bag Lemons Reusable Shopping Bag is sure to create joy. This stylish and sustainable bag not only has a positive impact on the environment but also adds a touch of joy to their daily routine.

If your artwork fills the walls of the classroom, then this Designworks Ink Set of 3 Celestial Washi Tape is the ideal way to fix it to the wall with a bit of style. This decorative tape not only secures your artwork but also adds a touch of celestial charm to the classroom décor. It's a perfect blend of functionality and creativity, making it a delightful gift for any teacher who appreciates a well-decorated space.

Is your English teacher always nose-deep in a book, living vicariously through metaphors and similes? Then this Personalised Charm and Ribbon Bookmark is the perfect gift. This elegant and thoughtful bookmark not only keeps their place in their favourite novels but also adds a personal touch that shows your appreciation. With a charming design and a ribbon that can be customised, it’s a unique and practical gift that any book-loving teacher will cherish. Every time they open their book, they'll be reminded of the connection they had with their students.

Had an unforgettable experience with a teacher and want them to remember the impact they had on you? Then creating a personalised leaving gift is paramount. A customised gift not only shows your appreciation but also serves as a lasting reminder of the positive influence they've had on your life. Whether the gift reflects a hobby of theirs or, a custom photo, or a unique keepsake, a personalised gift is a meaningful way to express your gratitude and ensure they remember the special connection you shared.

A picture speaks a thousand words, but our Personalised Handmade Photo Wooden Frame speaks a thousand & five. As a gift from the whole class, place a picture of the teacher with their students and include a message of up to 20 characters. This thoughtful gift can then take pride of place on their desk. Serving as a cherished reminder of the wonderful memories shared over the past year and a constant reminder of the influence they’ve had on their students’ lives.
