30 Best Teacher Gifts That Will Show Your Appreciation This Year

The past year has been difficult for everyone (thanks a lot, global pandemic!), but it was a year for teachers (not to mention healthcare workers).

In their own way, teachers were first responders, adapting to every twist and turn thrown their way. From virtual learning to social distancing measures in the classroom, these professionals had no choice but to make it work. They risked their health to make sure students got the education and attention they deserved.

Keeping school engaging, fun, and meaningful from the other side of a computer screen is no easy task, yet so many teachers managed to not only do it, but thrive in the environment. And although the pandemic isn’t fully over yet, in-person learning is slowly becoming the norm once more.

You don’t need to wait for Teacher Appreciation Day (which is May 4th this year, by the way) to begin showering the teacher (or teachers) in your life with thoughtful gifts. The switch back to in-person school will be an adjustment for all, and letting them know you’ve been thinking of them will make all the difference throughout the year.

Because it can be difficult to think of a personal gift for someone you may not spend very much time with, we’ve done the hard work for you by sifting through the internet to find the best gifts we’re sure your teacher (or teacher friend or teacher family member) will cherish.
