5 Tips for Teacher Holiday Gifts
Insights into what teachers do and don’t appreciate to receive during the holidays.
The holidays are coming up quickly and, if you’re like me, the perennial question looms large: “What am I going to give the kids’ teachers?” I want to recognize their hard work and celebrate the half-way mark in the year, but I don’t have unlimited time (or money) to come up with just the right thing.

Budget too tight? Write a thank you note- a sincere one- noting specific things you appreciate about the work your child’s teacher has done. Have your child write one, too, and tuck it inside. I know a lot of teachers who cherish their “bad day file,” filled with small notes reminding them that what they do does matter, even when things aren’t going well.
