It’s that time of year already…as another academic year draws to a close and the holiday beckons, you may be wondering where to find personalised teacher gifts to express your thanks and appreciation.

You’ve come to the right place, as we’re going to take you through some fun and affordable ideas for gifts that your child’s teacher will love.

Personalised wristbands

You can’t go wrong with customised wristbands for your child’s teacher. They’re available in a whole spectrum of colours, and you can have any message of your choice added to make them super special.

Silicone wristbands are a great choice since they are durable and hypoallergenic, and they retain their good looks wear after wear.

If you’re looking for inspiration for wording, try one of these phrases:

  • Best teacher ever
  • World’s best teacher
  • Thank you, [insert name]
  • [Insert name], my unsung hero
  • It takes a big heart to shape little minds
  • Class of 2023
  • Best teacher award goes to [insert name]

The Handband range of silicone wrist bands is available in a variety of styles, including regular, skinny and chunky widths, so you’ll be sure to find one that matches your teacher’s personal style.

Handmade Christmas decoration

Have fun creating a handmade Christmas decoration with your child — it will be a keepsake that their teacher can treasure for years to come.

Check out these beautiful ideas for mason jars. There’s an idea for every skill level, so don’t worry if you or your child aren’t crafty. You’ll definitely find a design that’s easy to make and looks stunning too.

Or what about this attractive clay angel ornament? It uses air-drying clay, so it couldn’t be quicker or more simple to make.

Customised coffee cup bands

Most teachers rely on a hot beverage to get them going in the morning, so a personalised coffee cup band makes an ideal gift.

This practical present can be printed with a personalised message and will fit all-sized reusable coffee cups.

Your child’s teacher will be able to put it to good use every day — and it will help their coffee stand out from the crowd in the staff room!

Terrarium

A terrarium is a mini garden enclosed in a glass container, which your child’s teacher will love!

You just need to follow a few simple steps to build your unique terrarium. As well as creating a special gift for teacher, it’s a chance to spend some time with your child learning about nature.

Read this guide to making your own terrarium at home with a few inexpensive materials.

Custom binder bands

Binder bands are a simple yet ingenious way to keep your teacher’s folders safe and secure, making them an ideal end-of-year gift.

Made of silicone, they’re flexible and hardwearing enough to stretch over bundles of books, magazines or files, making them indispensable to busy teachers with books to mark or piles of handouts to distribute.

Have a binder band customised with the teacher’s name or a special message from your child to make it both practical and extra special.

Plant in personalised pot

A simple plant from your garden can be full of meaning, symbolising the growth of your little one under their teacher’s care.

If you don’t have a suitable plant to spare, you could buy an inexpensive succulent from your local garden centre. These plants require very little care and look beautiful too.

Plant it in a pretty pot and make it personal with a homemade sign.

Here are some ideas for what you can write:

  • Thanks for helping me grow
  • Mighty oaks from little acorns grow
  • Thank you for helping me blossom
