End of School Year Teacher Gift Ideas

May 1, 2007

A girl leaning on her school books.I'm trying to think of new teacher, teacher's aide, and bus driver gifts to give at the end of the school year. My child has had some of these same people helping her out for a number of years, so I've used up many of my old standby ideas already. I've done candles, lotion/bath stuff, jewelry, food, and plants. Once I did gift certificates, but that got pricey! Any fresh or clever ideas would be appreciated.

With so many designs of postage stamps, you can pick out stamps for almost any teacher. You can also order them on-line from the USPS and they are mailed directly to your house.

My children's teachers appreciated them! Also, if the new 41 cent stamps are available by the time you need them, these stamps are guaranteed to stay 41 cents forever! Pick up $5 or $10 (or somewhere in-between) worth of stamps; I bet most teachers would love those!

Gift cards, even inexpensive ones are a hit. Please no nick-nacks or other dust collectors. Home baked or homemade food is great IF you know we enjoy something (I.E> if I am always watching my weight, don't give me cookies!).

Maybe a homemade salad dressing or flavored tea or coffee. Fruit or other produce from your garden would be lovely, too, as are plants started from cuttings of your own, if teacher enjoys plants.

The best I ever received was a heartfelt note from the special needs child I worked with that year. (I"m a school support worker) I still have it. Of course chocolates are lovely, and homemade jams and jellies are great too. If you truly do appreciate what someone does for you, or your child, then tell them.

Our class mom is very organized! Every parent is donating $5 and we are buying one nice gift for the teacher (this year it is a digital photo frame). In addition, each child is going to the dollar store to pick out one item for a "summer-time fun" basket.
