25 Valentine’s Day Gifts for Teachers, Because They Deserve Treats, Too!

Your children’s teachers hold a special place in their lives. Over the course of a year, the average teacher will spend about a thousand hours with their students (and that’s just counting during the school day; never mind clubs, sports, and extracurricular activities they might mentor)! We think that deserves a thank you, and what better way to show that appreciation than with Valentine’s Day gifts for teachers?

After all: For the entirety of Feb. 14, they will watch their students exchange toys, candy, cards, and love… but we’re willing to bet not too many kids include their teachers in their gift-giving festivities. We think it’s time we change that.

We’ve rounded up some tokens of gratitude, cheeky gifts (that still show you care), and items that will hopefully make their lives in the classroom and in their life outside of school easier and/or more fun. Because, really, anyone who spends this much time with kids, not just with them but actively teaching them to be more curious, engaged citizens of the world, definitely deserves a treat.
