As the school year draws to a close, it's time to show appreciation to the people who inspire and support our children every day – our amazing teachers. Where would we be without them?
If you're looking for inspiration, we’ve rounded up a selection of ideas to suit every budget and style.
Something sweet
You can’t go wrong with fresh cakes and treats from Wenzels, guaranteed to bring a smile to the staff room. Or how about their favourite traditional sweets from Mr Simms? For an extra-special touch, grab a little piece of luxury from Hotel Chocolat – with a variety of chocolate options available including vegan choices.
A little relaxation
After months of early mornings and marking marathons, a little relaxation is well deserved. Treat them to wax melts from Fig and Fox or a nice candle from Yankee Candle – perfect for unwinding at home. A home diffuser from Next or a small gift set like the Ritual of Sakura from Rituals makes a lovely pampering present too.
Gifts that last
For a more personal touch, how about a handmade wooden teacher coaster from All Our Own Crafts? Or a beautiful handmade piece of jewellery from Aray Jewellery.
Fresh blooms and gift cards
If you’re unsure what they’d like, how about going traditional with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Marks and Spencer. Or you could let them decide with a gift card from Costa, Starbucks or Vue cinema
– perfect for treating themselves on their own time.
Something organised
If your teacher is the type who lives by their schedule, then a planner or academic diary is a practical and stylish choice. Pair it with some stationery and classroom accessories from Typo, Flying Tiger or Homesense
to make it extra special.
A token of thanks
Sometimes it’s the small gestures that mean the most. A star teacher mug from Poundland, a teacher gift set from Lush, or even just a card or a balloon from Card Factory, Clintons or Cards Direct make thoughtful tokens of appreciation. Don’t forget to include a handwritten note – words often mean more than anything!
Whatever you choose – it’s the thought that really counts.
