A. Getting a gift for a favorite teacher can sometimes seem overwhelming. Do you go with the classic apple themed desk accessories, or do you go with a more personal gift with something engraved with the teacher’s name? The first thing you need to consider is what you think the teacher will like.

Does you teacher have a need for desk accessories or an embroidered tote bag? Most students see their teacher’s desk and have a general idea of what they carry their things in. If your teacher could use one of these, then great, go ahead and get them that.

If your teacher doesn’t need those items, there are other personalized teacher gifts available.

One of the best gifts I gave a teacher one year was a copy of a piece of artwork I had done in her class. She had remarked on how good it was and thought I should show it to others. She was very touched when I gave her an autographed copy. Who knows, maybe someday she will be able to say she has an original.

Sometimes, the best gift for a teacher is a class gift. In this way, the whole class can pool together and get something more expensive for the teacher. Perhaps a gift certificate to a really nice restaurant, or a craft made and added to by all the students. My mother still has a blackboard that all of her students signed for her one year.

No matter what you decide to get your teacher, remember that the more personal you can make it, the better.

  1. The best gift is to give her adequate attention when he/she is teaching

  2. My student won the 2nd best in the recently concluded Cowbell National Mathematics competition. During the presentation to the MD of the proprietor of the school, he said and I quote ” is this yuor teacher ? Yes sir. Take care of him when he is old”
