45 Best Gifts for Teachers 2023

Educators deserve to be celebrated all year long, but if you’re preparing to say farewell for the summer, it’s an excellent time to pick out the best gifts for teachers. All the teachers we polled said that what they really want to receive are pampering presents that’ll help them relax after a long day in the class room, but any gift that shows you put as much thought into it as they do their lesson plans will also go a long way in showing your appreciation. Other popular picks are school supplies since they typically buy those themselves (like desk organizers, journals, and cute pens). You can also never go wrong with a thoughtful note with a gift card attached (think Starbucks, Sephora, and Target cash). The only thing the teachers we asked said they had enough of (besides apple paraphernalia) were mugs, but one trendy tumbler did make our cut.

Ready to earn your place as their favorite student? While you’re shopping for special graduation gifts for your friends, snatch up one of these unique finds for your teacher too. And if you procrastinated, don’t worry. There are plenty of great gifts on Amazon that’ll arrive before school’s out.
