Teacher Christmas Gift Ideas: Personalised Thank You Gifts They Will Use

Written by NeilFounder, Custom Prezzy

Teachers do a great deal for our children, and a small gift at Christmas is a lovely way to say thank you. The best ones are practical, personal and not too big. Here are ideas that suit primary and secondary teachers, teaching assistants and nursery staff.

A personalised notebook

Teachers write constantly: lesson plans, to-do lists, parents’ evening notes. A hardcover notebook with their name on the front is a gift they will use.

A mug for the staff room

Every staff room has a mug shelf. A personalised mug gets used every day.

A group gift from the class

Many parents club together. One shared gift avoids duplicates and keeps costs fair for everyone. Many schools also have their own gift guidance, so check before you buy.

When to order

Personalised gifts are made to order, so order well before the end of term. Check the spelling of the teacher’s name on the school website or a recent letter.
