Teacher gift ideas that teachers actually want
Ask a teacher and the answer is nearly always the same: a note from the child and the parent, and something for the classroom.

Under $20
- A specific thank-you note from you. Name one thing they did for your child. Teachers keep these for years.
- A note from your child. In their own words and spelling.
- Classroom supplies. Ask what they are short of. Many teachers buy their own.
- A gift card for coffee or books. Small, and always used.
- Not another mug. They already have plenty.
$20 to $75
- A group gift from the class. One parent collects, and the teacher gets something they would really want.
