Gift ideas and tips for teachers

In this article some great gift ideas and tips for teachers. At the end of the school year and certainly after the final exams, it is time to say goodbye to teachers. What do you give a teacher as a parting gift? Get inspired with these gift ideas and tips for teachers. Surprise the jug or master with a nice parting gift.

1. Beach gear

In the hope of a radiant summer and the prospect of a long summer vacation, you can (especially) surprise teachers with a nice bag filled with beach essentials. A nice bag, wrapped in a nice way with towel and protective sun lotion, will certainly delight the recipient. And now let's hope for a great summer, without sunscreen for the teacher or master.

2. A personalized plate or cup

Do you want to give a gift together with your classmates? Then look for a nice board that you can write on with a special marker. Have everyone put their name and possibly a short greeting on it. Wrap the board in cellophane foil, decorate it with some gift ribbon and you have a wonderful gift for your teacher.

3. Cinema ticket

Another idea to surprise your teacher with is to give a cinema voucher. Let your teacher recover from a busy school year, while he or she enjoys an exciting, romantic or compelling film in the cinema.

4. Filled gift bag

Look for a nice bag that you fill with all kinds of small gifts that you will delight the teacher with. Keep in mind the taste and wishes of the teacher. Do you know that your teacher likes sweets? Then buy some sweets and if your teacher loves a picnic then fill the bag with nice picnic products. Because this can become an expensive gift, it is best to give this as a gift together with a number of other students.

5. Voucher for a spa/wellness package

Put yourself in the teacher's shoes. Would you like to be in front of a class for a year, with growing children who are not always kind enough to teach them anything about the trade? Can you imagine your teacher looking forward to the summer vacation, when she doesn't have to worry about nagging, checking rehearsals and maintaining order?

That's right… Give your teacher the rest she deserves and let her relax during the summer holidays during a spa package. You can also give a voucher for this together with what others give as a gift from all of you.

6. Breakfast basket

Another tip:give a filled breakfast basket. Buy a basket (which can be found for little at things like Wibra, Blokker and the like) and fill it with tasty breakfast products. Delicious jam, chocolate spread, roll of croissant dough, a carton of juice, coffee and things like that quickly fill the basket. For the finishing touch, wrap the breakfast basket and you have a wonderful gift.

7. DIY flower pot with content

Are you creative? Then this DIY idea is made for you. Take a layman can, for example of tuna and some wooden clothespins. You attach the clothespins around the edge. Finally, you buy a nice plant that you put in the DIY flower pot and your farewell gift is ready.

8. Surprise your teacher with a dinner (home-cooked) or a cake (home-baked)

Prepare your teacher's favorite meal at home and take it with him or her on the last day of school. Or give a homemade cake when saying goodbye. It's not difficult at all, especially with all the tutorials you can find on Youtube or Pinterest these days.

9. Thank you with a card or a letter

A card or letter that comes straight from the heart is worth at least as much as a large and expensive gift. And why not thank your teacher for the patience, the knowledge you have gained thanks to him or her. You may be able to humorously express your regret for being a jerk every now and then (all with a big wink, of course). You can of course also make a DIY teacher thank you

10. Give a book

The summer holidays are the perfect time for teachers to recover and dedicate themselves to matters other than school. It is therefore the perfect time to settle down on the sofa or on the beach to immerse yourself in a book. Keep in mind that for this gift you need to know the taste of your teacher to some extent. A book voucher offers a solution in case of doubt.
