Start the School Year Right: Thoughtful Teacher Gifts That Make an Impact

As your teaching staff return to the classroom after the long summer break,

they will quickly become familiar with their new pupils while falling back

into established routines and friendships. It is easy to overlook how

superbly they welcome pupils back to school and support them on their

journeys, but we urge you not to - instead, look for reasons to show your

appreciation. 

These thoughtful teacher gifts are the perfect way to thank your teachers

for their care and attention, to reward them for going above and beyond, and

to increase their morale and sense of esprit de corps. Even better, all of

them can be personalised with your school's name and logo.

1. Motivational posters.

Wall space is often at a premium, but there is always room for motivational

posters that uplift and encourage teachers and pupils alike to always give

their best, to look out for each other and to work together to achieve

greatness.

2. Stationery.

Biros and recycled paper are functional, but what your teachers really need

to stay ahead of the game are desk planners, smooth and ergonomic rollerball

pens and decent notebooks. Other useful items include post it notes and

stamps. Try to anticipate what your teachers will need to improve efficiency

and comfort, and offer them the highest quality products that you can

afford.

3. Insulated mugs.

A teacher's life is always hectic, and they do eventually get fed up with

all of their drinks being tepid! In summer, a glass of water on the desk

quickly warms up and becomes undrinkable, while in the depths of winter, a

hot cup of tea quickly turns cold while on playground duty. Overcome this

issue by giving your teachers insulated mugs or bottles, allowing them to

enjoy their drink at the right temperature, irrespective of how long it

takes them to actually drink it.

4. Branded coats.

Speaking of playground duty, teachers get cold, too! A warm, waterproof coat

will be very highly appreciated on wet winter days when they are standing

outside supervising pupils at breaktimes, overseeing PE lessons or

accompanying children on school trips. By issuing coats bearing the school

name and logo, teachers are easily identifiable and need not risk accidental

damage to their personal clothing. 

5. Hand cream.

The recirculated air in many classrooms has been attributed to dry skin and

discomfort in teaching staff, so issuing each teacher with a branded pump

action cream dispenser, which they can keep topped up with their favourite

product, is a mark of appreciation that they will enjoy daily throughout the

entire school year.
