10 Gifts that Teachers REALLY want you to buy them...Teacher Appreciation Day Gift ideas!

Updated on August 23, 2017

Teacher Appreciation Day! Buy something original, exciting and thoughtful as a gift for your teacher

It's all very well buying Teacher's lovely gift, but what do they really need? They get so many gift sets, so many chocolates, but the thing that Teacher's would really appreciate on Teachers Appreciation Day are here on this page for you to choose from.

Teachers deserve nice gifts. Everyone remembers their first teacher. Mine was Mrs Williams - such a lovely lady, the type of person you felt safe with, who challenged you enough to steer you in the right direction, but gave you enough support to give you the confidence you need at a young age.

But how do we thank our teachers? They work crazy hours and do so much good in the classroom, so a little thank you is always appreciated at the end of the year - or even for National Teachers Day.

Check out the range of beautiful Teacher Appreciation Gifts on Amazon.com

They usually receive lovely home-made gifts, or something related to apples ("an apple for the teacher")...but do you know what they would really like? I do! I've been a teacher myself, so I know the twitterings in the staffroom. 4 of my family members are teachers, so I know what they coo about when they bring home adored gifts from their pupils and I currently work with schools, and know what makes them tick.

Here are some ideas...

#1 Gifts for Teachers - Delicious Candle Gifts for Dedicated Teachers

Everyone loves candles, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise!

Yankee candles always go down very well. Not only do they smell amazing, but they look gorgeous and come in so many different flavours and colours. A sure hit would be to get one that is your teacher's favourite colour. Purple is always very popular, so a lavender one is always good.

#2 Gifts for Teachers - All Teachers want Gorgeous Stationary

From notecards to notebooks - funky stationary always goes down very well with those that like to keep traditional correspondances.

#3 Gifts for Teachers - Give your Teacher the gift of Funky Lunch Accessories

Teachers pack a packed lunch, just like the children, so why not give them something gorgeous to carry it in.

#4 Gifts for Teachers - Something for a lovely Day Out

Picnics are awesome!

They are especially treasured by those who spend most of their time stuck indoors. So, instead of your teacher being stuck at their desk, now they have no excuse to be out in the sun (as if they would need an excuse anyway!)

Get your teachers some beautiful accessories to picnic with!

#5 Gifts for Teachers - Every Teacher loves Sharpies...especially for Gifts

This one needs no introduction!

We love Sharpies!


All teachers need to keep organised, and labelling is essential. Permanent markers are a must have!

#6 Gifts for Teachers - A Pampering Gift for your tired Teacher

They're on their feet all day and marking papers for all hours. Their personal time is precious, give them some treats to help pamper themselves in style.

Plants have that calming quality that brings a little serenity into the world.

Perhaps a little keepsake...
