Good Gifts for Teachers from Students

Don't just get the teacher that gift that says she is an afterthought. She spent a lot of time with your child giving him/her a priceless gift of knowledge.  You do not have to spend a lot of money to show your appreciation, it is the gift that says I thought of you when getting your gift that stands out and means the world to her.

The best gifts for teachers are from the heart, practical, and normally fall into one of two categories: things that can be used in the classroom to enhance students’ experiences, or gifts that make a teacher’s already-difficult job a little nicer.

Mason Jars are fantastic for gifts as you can fill them with anything, making your gift very personal. Your teacher will enjoy the contents of the jar and have a handy container.





You can get a mason jar, fill it with their favorite gum like Wrigley’s Extra or Chewy Mints. Buy it in bulk from Amazon.
