12 Thoughtful Teacher Appreciation Gifts

Teacher Appreciation Week is the first full week in May each year and Tuesday of this week is the day that is designated Teacher Appreciation Day. However, appreciating teachers does not need to be restricted to a given day or week each year. But you might struggle to come up with the right gifts to reflect their contributions. This is where Successories comes in. We have plenty of options teachers are sure to love, and below are 12 of our best corporate gift ideas for teachers.

1. Calendars & Planners

Successories motivational calendars are an excellent teachers' appreciation gift for the classroom. Teachers often need to keep track of certain dates that occur through the school year. For many teachers, having a calendar that brings joy and motivation will surely be appreciated, and it can also be a nice way to decorate the classroom.

2. Personalized Crystal Gifts

An engraved personalized gift will allow you to add a personal touch. Math teachers can display a personalized crystal ruler to show students how to go old school when a measurement is needed. Teachers and apples seem to go hand in hand, so consider a unique paperweight shaped like an apple with your engraving. This will be displayed on the teacher's desk for years to come.

3. Notepads

Taking notes is not just for students. Motivational notepads are a great gift for teachers who must write down ideas and lesson plans. Notepads are affordable additions to any gift basket the PTO is putting together for the teachers and staff. Whether it's grading papers or creating lesson plans, motivational notepads will no doubt make your teacher feel appreciated.

4. Appreciation Soup Mug & Spoon

Teachers often miss school due to being sick. Gifting them something to make those sick days a little cozier is sure to make them feel cared for. A soup mug and spoon is a great gift idea for teachers who are home sick and need a reminder of why they enjoy their job.

5. Thanks for All You Do Leatherette Tumbler

Teachers are always loaded down with bags. The other constant accessory? A travel tumbler. Coffee, tea, or any hot beverage can be kept warm on a cold winter day. And this is a gift that can keep beverages cold during the summer as well. Whether caffeinating or hydrating, the staff will love this gift.

6. Appreciation Water Bottles

Being awesome is not hard for good teachers and decorated water bottles are a great way to show appreciation. This is a great gift for teachers who are active after work or just care to keep up with their water intake throughout the day.

7. Ceramic Mugs

A mug with an inspirational message is a great option for coffee or other hot beverages. This is a great birthday gift for any co-worker when getting together for lunch or when taking a break. Coffee mugs are a great choice because they'll feel appreciated each time they treat themselves to a cup.

8. Candy & Sweets

Who doesn't love sweet treats? A clear acrylic cube packed with the candy of your choice ensures they can indulge a little. Snacks are always a great way to show your appreciation!

9. Sticky Notes & Note Cubes

The world probably wouldn't be able to function without sticky notes. Everybody uses them for a variety of purposes, teachers included. We carry a handy spiral bound notebook with four different cover color options, and is emblazoned with the words: Great Teachers. Great Students. Great Schools. Inside, you'll find a handy collection of sticky notes in assorted colors, good for almost anything. It's an inexpensive, practical gift that's sure to be appreciated!

10. Portfolios

Teachers need a handy place to store documents. There are papers to take home to grade, class preparation notes, and the like. This is another handy, practical gift that's sure to be treasured and used often. A favorite style features our classic teacher's logo, but we've got a wide variety of other options available if something else would be more to your liking. Even better, if you prefer, you can create your own custom cover for added personalization.

11. Power Banks

These days, what teacher doesn't rely heavily on smart devices? The problem, of course, is power. It can be mightily inconvenient to have to recharge in the middle of the day. That's where this handy gift comes in. It gives the freedom and flexibility to charge devices on the fly, and comes with a standard USB connector cable allowing teachers to recharge the battery from their PC. An incredibly handy gift for your favorite teacher that can be customized with your choice of messages.

12. Bluetooth Speaker

If your favorite teacher is an audiophile, this speaker is the perfect gift. Don't let its deceptively small footprint fool you, this speaker produces great quality sound, and being designed with Bluetooth technology, can be connected wirelessly to most any device. Best of all, it comes in a variety of fun colors and can be customized with your choice of messages.
