Best Gifts for Teachers Teacher's Gifts List

In a few days, the school year is about to be over, and our kids are going to start their summer vacation. Being a teacher is one of the most meaningful jobs out there. Teachers spend most of the day busy educating our kids, teaching them, caring for them, and much more. The end of the year is a great time to show a small appreciation back. In this guide, you will find the best gifts for teachers for the end of the year.

Best Gifts for Teachers – Gift Card

When in doubt, a gift card is always the best gift for your child’s teacher. After chatting with several teachers, one thing is clear—this is by far the most appreciated option.

In Toronto and the GTA, the average gift card amount is around $25 CAD, though many parents give anywhere from $10 to $50, depending on their budget. There’s no “right” amount—it’s really about what feels right for you.
If your child is in daycare or kindergarten, keep in mind that there are often 2 to 4 teachers in the classroom, so costs can add up quickly. Plan accordingly and give what works for your family.

The most popular choices include Amazon, followed by Starbucks, Tim Hortons, LCBO, Winners, and Indigo.

To make things simple, here are a few links to eGift cards you can purchase online and print at home. You can load each card with any amount you choose, making it easy to stay within your budget while giving something thoughtful.

Our reco is to get a gift card and add something small to it like chocolate or mug and always add a card from you and your child to show your appreciation.

If you would like to buy something more personal then this list is just what you need! We have created a list of nice stuff from Amazon with a price range of up to 35$
