Teachers and the staff at your school work tirelessly at a very important job, and it’s only natural that you want to thank them during the holiday season. Still, if you don’t know a teacher or staff member personally, it can be hard to know what to give them. The best solution is to not complicate things by overthinking. Instead, consider the following four simple gifts for your school staff and teachers. They will appreciate receiving something they truly enjoy.
Gift Cards
You can never go wrong with a gift card unless you choose something opposite to someone’s personality. Here are some fun ideas for giving gift cards to a staff member at your school:
- Restaurants
- Gas cards
- Grocery stores
- School supply stores
- Book stores
- Massages
- Movie theaters
Ask your child what they think their teacher might like. Gift cards are a great way for anyone to enjoy an outing without breaking the bank.
A Nice Bottle of Wine
Does your child’s teacher ever mention wine? If so, surprise them with a bottle that costs a little more than what they would usually buy themselves. Tie a ribbon around it and wrap up a couple of wine glasses to go with the bottle.
Classroom Supplies
Classroom supplies might sound boring, but it truly helps the school staff. Teachers pay out of pocket for most of their classroom supplies, and the cost adds up. Here are some ideas for gifting classroom supplies:
- Pencils and pens
- Notebooks
- A new flag
- Seasonal decorations
- A wall-mounted pencil sharpener
- Book collections
- Markers, stamps, and stickers
A gift bag full of small supplies will surely put a smile on your teacher’s face and bring some relief.
Gift Baskets
Gift baskets are fun to receive and even more fun to create. Start with a theme and a basket, then fill it with goodies. If you aren’t sure of themes, here are some ideas:
- Movie night: Include microwave popcorn and candy
- Spa night: Include nail polish, face masks, and lotion
- Relaxation time: Include a scented candle, an adult coloring book, and colored pencils
- Cozy basket: Include socks, a hat, gloves, and a small throw blanket
- Date night: Include wine, glasses, and snacks
Gift baskets are a great way to present a thoughtful and beautiful gift without spending much money.
