Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we always like to get a little something for our child’s teachers as they do so much! Valentine’s Day is not about giving huge extravagant gifts but spreading a little love feels great, so we’ve gathered some great gift ideas to give to the awesome teachers in your child’s lives!

Bath Soaps and Candles
One can only imagine how badly a teacher needs to relax and unwind after a long day of noisy and active children. Some luxurious bath soaps and relaxing scents would definitely not go to waste in the hands of a teacher! You could even combine these with a few other treats in a gift box from somewhere like UnboxMe to really make your teacher’s next pamper session extra-special.

Necklaces and Earrings
Who doesn’t enjoy dressing up every now and then? Just because she’s your teacher doesn’t mean she should always look dull as shown in cliche movies! Well, if you think your teacher loves to dress up, then you could think of gifting her a gold initial pendant. It would be good to see her adorn the little gift you got for her. If you want to personalise it more, you can get some laser engraving done on that pendant or earring, like with her initials or something. Contacting any Laser Engraving London (or where you’re based) company should be able to help you out in this regard. You may also include a sweet note explaining why she is your favourite teacher. This will undoubtedly make her day.

Restaurant and Movie Gift Cards
Treat your fav teacher to their next night out to dinner and a movie with their pals or significant other – teachers like to have fun too and you can never go wrong with gift cards! You can make this gift extra special by making a personalized photo gift card holder!

Personalized Labels from Lovable Labels
Yes, this may sound a little bias but what teacher doesn’t love to keep organized! We offer a variety of Multi-Purpose Labels to keep their items from getting “mixed up” with their fellow teacher friends as well as Organization Labels to decorate the classroom and help keep it neat and tidy! If you and your child are really close with your teacher you could get them a cute little Custom Camera Roll Keychain as we’re returning to the personalised route! Maybe pictures of them with their class on it, something that’s thoughtful and they can cherish for a long time.
