Most teachers deserve a million bucks and an all-expense paid trip around the world.
What I WANT to give my sons’ teachers, and what I’m able to give them are two different things.
You don’t have to break the bank to show your child’s teacher some love and appreciation. As a former teacher, it’s often the least expensive things that are the MOST appreciated!
Here are 6 simple gifts ideas. Perhaps you could give your child’s teacher one item every day on the last week of school? Or one item each day on the FIRST week of school. No matter what you give and when you give it, your teacher will enjoy a simple surprise.

5. Lunch
Whether you make it or buy it, your child’s teacher will LOVE not having to eat their sack or school lunch for a day.
Just send a note to school letting your child’s teacher know that tomorrow’s lunch is on you. Send a menu to a local restaurant and ask them to circle what they’d like for you to order, or let them know what you’ll be making! Either way, this will be a SPECIAL treat and they will LOVE IT!

6. A hand-written note
Most teachers would LOVE to know they are making an impact – so write and tell them how they’ve made a difference in your child’s life!
Of all the ‘teacher gifts’ I received over the years, this is the one that I’ve kept through many years and many moves, and it STILL makes me smile:
