Middle School and High School Teachers Gifts
When the kids are in elementary school, teacher gifts at holidays are pretty easy – after all, in most cases you are just buying for one teacher – but once kids get into middle school and high school, how do you even begin buying gifts for 8 teachers per kid?
Do you give gifts to your child’s middle school and high school teachers? If so, what do you get them? How much do you spend?
If you are going to give them something, here are a few ideas:
- Gift certificate to a local cafe, coffee shop or restaurant.
- Gift certificate to a teacher store.
- A small box of chocolate or cookies. I would steer away from the homemade stuff though (unless you personally know the teacher) – a friend of mine who taught middle school said they threw away a lot of home made food gifts just because they didn’t always trust the source.
- A simple hand written note of thanks and appreciation for all the hard work the teacher has done.
Hi, I am currently in middle school for my first year and with the holidays coming up, I’ve been having trouble searching for a gift for all of my teachers. So, thank you so much for the wonderful suggestions. They will help me a lot!
My daughter is just finishing up her first year of middle school and I am at a loss for teachers gifts. In elementary I collected from all of the parents and presented the teacher with a large gift. However, I now have 8 years and no access to the parents. What would be considered an appropriate gift that doesn’t break the bank?
I’m happy you did this students always give me coffee mugs and candle. they are sweet but i still have 10 of those each holiday.
