Give Her An “a” For Effort: Unique Teacher Gifts
By:Abby Mckinsley

Another year of school is over. Another year of teaching the ABC’s and 123’s with some life lessons and long division thrown in there.

In short, it’s been an exhausting year for the students, and the weary teacher. You don’t know how she does it. She works hard teaching those unruly fourth graders all day long (your child included) but still finds the time to coach the girl’s basketball team and volunteer at the local homeless shelter.

Oh, she also has her own three kids and husband to take care of each evening. In short, you are in awe of what she accomplishes and you child loved have her as a teacher. Why not give her some unique teacher gifts to thank her for all of her hard work?

But What Do You Give a Teacher?

Ask teachers what they would like for a gift, and they will tell you to get something for her classroom like new markers or books. Most teachers are selfless like that.

However, it’s time that she takes a moment to reward herself for the great job she does at teaching the future leaders of the United States. Unique teacher gifts should do just that.

Giving her some unique teacher gifts will really make her appreciate her teaching career and want to return to teaching for many years to come. Why not give her a pair of tickets to a musical playing at the local theatre or a day of pampering at the spa? Or, some other unique teacher gifts include a gift certificate to her favorite clothing store (ask your child to find out what store that is.)

Other unique teacher gifts could be a special plaque recognizing her as a wonderful teacher along with an entry into a “Teacher of the Year” award contest. She’ll be so flattered, but she deserves it.

Make sure to include your child in the gift selection. He’ll have an idea of what she likes and doesn’t like and your child will enjoy picking out the gifts for his teacher.

The best way to give these unique teacher gifts to your child’s teacher is to actually let your child give it to her. Just think of the pride on your child’s face as he presents his teacher with some unique teacher gifts selected especially with her in mind. He wouldn’t have to do it in front of the class.

Show Teachers Your Appreciation

With all of the stories on the news of teachers who aren’t paid enough or don’t have enough supplies to teach their children, it’s nice to show your child’s teacher how appreciated she really is. Unique teacher gifts are a small gesture that will no doubt have a lasting impact on the teacher for years to come.
