6 Teacher Thank-you Gifts for Christmas, Instead of Chocolate or Wine

The Autumn school term always goes so quickly, in a flurry of Christmas plays, Christmas parties, Nativities and Fairs. Before you know it, it's the last day of term and you've forgotten to buy a teach Thank-you Gift for Christmas!

So why not get ahead, reduce the stress, tick one thing off your future list and be very smug! Buy your Christmas Thank-you Gift for your children's teacher now and your future self will be very grateful.

Teacher Christmas Gift Inspiration

If you're running out of inspiration each year for your Teacher Thank-you Christmas Gifts and are considering the standard chocolates or bottle of wine, think back to the teacher's desk last year and the array of bottles and chocolate goodies. Perhaps they might just appreciate something more thoughtful, personalised and handmade instead this Christmas?

A gift that genuinely says "Thank-you for supporting my child", "Thank-you for all your hard work" and "Happy Christmas, you deserve a rest!". A Teacher Thank-you Gift that is more than a generic gift, it's a kind, appreciative and heartfelt gesture.

So to make life easy, I've put together 6 little gift ideas below which would make the perfect Teacher Thank-you Christmas Gift this year:

1) Christmas Gift Tag Keyring

The Christmas Gift Tag Keyring can be gifted as a keyring or bag charm in its drawstring pouch or use as a unique gift tag - if you insist on getting a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates, you can tie the Gift Tag Keyring around the present as a unique finishing touch! Made with Liberty of London Christmassy fabrics or festive stripes, personalised in gold and thread on a luxurious velvet ribbon. 

2) Thoughtful Message Keepsake

Choose a Thoughtful Message Keepsake printed with kind words for their Teacher Thank-you Gift this year. Choose from my range of designs such as "Shine Bright" or let me know if you would like some bespoke words just for them - such as "Thank-you so much" or "You make a difference". Thread on a satin ribbon, they can hang it anywhere in their home or keep in their bag for when they need a boost.

3) Soul Wishes Keyring

Choose from the soulful words in my Soul Wishes Keyring collection such as "Happiness" or choose your own word, as a thank-you to your child's teacher for everything they have done. Perhaps a simple "Thank-you" or "Inspire" which could be their power word as they go into the New Year.

4) Kind Keyring

These bright & beautiful Kind Keyrings are a simple statement gift that captures kind & thoughtful words in a bold and punchy red and pink keyring or bag charm. Perhaps positive and uplifting words such as "Enjoy Today" or "Happy Days" to make them smile this Christmas.

6) Secret Mantra Necklace

We all need a little boost sometimes or a moment to breathe; and the Secret Mantra Necklace gives them just that. "Dream & Inspire" is the most perfect necklace for teachers, made with a choice of lovely Liberty floral fabrics and printed with a silver star. Wrapped in a gift box with a fabric message blanket printed with the uplifting words.

Each of these gifts can be personalised with names, initials or words to make it the perfect gift just for them. Think "Thank-you Mrs B" or "You're the best" or "Star teacher". We all remember our favourite teachers from primary and secondary school - those who inspired us, supported us and made a difference to our lives; so a heartfelt Teacher Thank-you Gift is just a little way to show them your gratitude.

Just pop me a message if you are looking for something specific or have any queries - we can always come up with a perfect gift solution. I'm sure they will love their thoughtful gift!
