Teacher Gift Ideas
With the end of term approaching now is the time to start thinking how you can thank your child's teacher! An article, in the Mail Online recently caught our attention which included some interesting facts about buying gifts for teachers. It's hard to believe that teachers now receive end of term gifts worth around £77 million! Parents now spend between £10-£20 on buying a present for their child's teacher. A great many parents said whilst they thought their child's teacher deserved a present almost half admitted that they felt pressured into having to buy a gift.

We agree these figures are staggering but have to admit that a good teacher not only educates your child but innovates, encourages, inspires and supports your child and is probably, apart from parents, one of the most important people in your child's life. So although the pressure may exist in competing with other parents on the type/cost of gift, it is important and special to go some way to show your appreciation for all their hard work.
There are hundreds of well known quotes dedicated to the good work teachers do every day. Here's some of our favourites accompanied by a gift idea to perfectly reflect that quote -
A pretty potted plant is always appreciated and will be a great reminder all year round. Combine your gift with the quote/gift message: "A teacher plants the seeds of knowledge, sprinkles them with love, and patiently nurtures their growth to produce tomorrow's dreams."
Mugs are a brilliant idea, not just for coffee or tea but can be useful for holding pens, pencils, or other things if the teacher has enough mugs... you can never have too many mugs! Combine a mug with the quote/gift message: "It takes a BIG heart to teach little minds."
