Teacher’s gifts are a long-standing tradition that celebrate our most beloved educational heroes. Typically presented around the holidays and at the end of the school year, these tokens of appreciation are an important symbol of acknowledgement and respect for all that these incredibly important shapers of young minds do. But as the school year kicks off, particularly this one, a little back-to-school gifting is a wonderful gesture and a fantastic opportunity to fill your teachers’ classroom coffers with some pregame gratitude and show them that you are ready to have an amazing year together.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving
At the beginning of the school year, it’s hard to know what your child’s teacher might like or need. Presenting a gift that’s more personal and customized as it would be deeper into the calendar year can be a challenge. However, there’s a wide variety of items that would not only be appropriate to give, but truly helpful to your child’s educator as well. A small gift basket filled with items such as sharpies, sticky notes, dry erase markers and glue sticks is a great way to help your teacher stock up on important classroom supplies. A simple gift card to Starbucks can let him or her know that you do not underestimate the value of caffeine. And something as sweet and old-fashioned as a shiny red apple can bring a smile to a teacher who might be just as anxious as the students about getting the year started off right. No matter the gift, the most important thing your child can bring on the first day of school is a good attitude, a desire to learn, and a commitment to working hard. What more could a teacher ask for.
