The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships
With the school year suddenly upon us once again, one thing that many parents want to do is buy a gift for their children's teachers – especially if their children are in elementary school – but as simple and straightforward a desire as this might seem to be, it can sometimes be difficult to figure out exactly what to get a teacher. While you can usually put a smile on a teacher's face simply from the gesture itself, it will make a teacher even happier if you are able to purchase a small gift for them that they will actually be able to use and enjoy. "Something to disply on the desk" is one of the first things a lot of parents think of when buying a gift for a teacher, but an even better route to go is to give the teacher something they can both display on their desk and take home with them: a nice, travel coffee mug. Another idea along the same lines is to buy a Starbucks gift card for the teacher; most teachers need a good amount of coffee to get through the trials of the school year, so help accommodate them in this area, and you will find that they are truly grateful for your thoughtfulness. If you already know the teacher for whom you are buying the gift – either through an early parent-teacher conference, or from outside of school, or perhaps because your child already had this teacher the year before – another good idea is to get them a gift certificate to a clothing store that you think they will appreciate! And even though a teacher devotes most of their life during the school year to school itself, every teacher still wants to find ways to unwind every once in a while; one of the best ways for people to unwind is with a dinner at a nice restaurant – and what better way to enjoy a dinner at a nice restaurant than not having to pay for it! Consider picking up a gift certificate to a nice, local restaurant, and you will see just how appreciative this makes your child's teacher!
