Did you know I used to teach? It’s true… I was a K-6 art teacher. I loved seeing the creativity from the kids as I watched their talent develop. I just knew when the last day of school came, I too, would be recognized as one of the special teachers who touched kid’s lives. My most favorite thing I received from one of my students at the end of one school year? A pink carnation. (I know what you’re thinking: art teachers don’t get as cool gifts as their students full time teachers do. You’re right! LOL) If you’re looking for something more for teacher appreciation gift ideas than a pink carnation, check out 23 teacher appreciation gift ideas! We also have a dedicated Teacher Appreciation Pin Board full of hundreds of gift ideas for teachers!

Tons of great ideas! My son has a male teacher… They are a little harder to pick a gift for. Can’t go wrong with a gift card or treats though. 🙂
Anja says
So cool! Looks like some teachers might have a really nice day =)
By the way, did you know: Teacher appreciation day is something so uniquely American – German teachers usually don’t get any gifts (when students graduate, they might give a gift).

Love these ideas and thanks for reminding me I better start thinking about this……this is my son’s first year in playschool so I admit this is all new to me, something I would have completely overlooked (and then felt silly about when all the other kids give the teacher a gift!)

Great Ideas. I have one that I have never seen mentioned.
I go to garage sales, estate sales, antique stores, Ebay and buy Old vintage elementary school books. I give them to the teachers and the staff for Teacher’s Appreciation Week. I have even come across vintage lunch lady books!
It is fun to search and our teachers LOVE them!
Ebay is the best for selection and price.
