How To Create Best In Class Gifts For Teacher.

Show teachers much-deserved appreciation with thank you gifts & cards customised from the heart.

A selection of thank you gifts on a teacher's desk

This past academic year has not been a normal school year by any measure. Express your gratitude to outstanding teachers and school staff with personalised cards and gifts on Teacher Appreciation Day (Tuesday, 4th May 2021).

Move beyond traditional teachers’ gifts like apples and fudge; customise something useful and long-lasting that they will appreciate throughout the year. No matter what you end up going with, your thoughtful gift will bring a big smile to your favourite teacher’s face.

Be Inclusive

As well as your teacher, it’s nice to show appreciation for hardworking teaching assistants and school office staff with thoughtful customised gifts. It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture; a humble yet thoughtful gift can go a long way in showing how much you appreciate their time and energy.

A personalised calendar displayed on the wall to thank teaching staff

An academic wall calendar can showcase the many class accomplishments or milestones. You could start a calendar with any month you like and add photos to special dates for added impact.

A framed photo print on a desk makes a great teacher thank you present

A framed photo could be a high-quality addition to their home or office – our 18×12” mounted and framed photo could be signed by the entire class and feature a photo of the teacher(s) with the children, or you could choose the smaller 10×8″ desktop framed print. It’s a guaranteed smile-inducer!
