Let’s face it. Life is busy with work, meal prepping, appointments, bills and everything else under the sun. Sometimes it’s difficult finding a moment to sit down, let alone finding the time to think about a thoughtful gift for the educators in your student(s)’ lives. We understand that it can be hard to add something else to your already overflowing plate. That’s where we enter the scene. We’ve found the best end-of-year teacher gifts, so you don’t have to. And while we don’t like to brag, we know that these gifts won’t just sit around and collect dust. Instead, these presents will actually be used! Most Requested Gifts Drumroll, please. The most requested end-of-year teacher gifts are Paper Mate® Flair® pens. Yes, you read that right. Pens. Remember that we’re going for usefulness and practicality here! Besides, who couldn’t use more pens?! From what we’ve heard, these Paper Mate Flair Pens are hot commodities among teachers. Plus, they come in fun, bright colors that won’t bleed through paper. Personalized Teacher Gifts Who doesn’t like receiving something with their name on it?! Or is that just a guilty pleasure of ours? Either way, you can’t tell us that your child(ren)’s teacher(s) wouldn’t love receiving personalized notecards or even a personalized pen. Inexpensive Teacher Gifts You can never go wrong with a thoughtful handwritten thank-you note. Have your student(s) express appreciation to their teacher(s) with a few kind words or even a poem. You know what else is sure to please? A candy bar. Tell us who wouldn’t love receiving a good ol’ piece of chocolate?! Not only is this a budget-friendly option, but it’s also super easy, eliminating any worries of online ordering and wondering whether the gift will arrive on time for the last day of school. Instead, you can quickly grab a candy bar from the grocery or convenience store. Heck, even the gas station offers them! Another inexpensive gift option is hand soap, which is especially useful for the classroom. For an added discount toward the purchase, be on the lookout for sales and coupons. Since soap doesn’t go bad, you can always buy hand soap in advance if you find a great deal. Do you have a flower garden, or do you know someone who does? A fresh bouquet of flowers is always a sweet surprise for any teacher. Have an old vase laying around? If not and you have to purchase one, consider checking on the shelves at your local thrift shop.
