What is a good end-of-year gift for a teacher?

Something for them, not the classroom: hand cream, a candle, a bath set, a good notebook and pen, a book they mentioned. If the class is clubbing together, a voucher for a store they like plus a card the children signed.

Is it appropriate to give a teacher alcohol?

Many schools ask parents not to. A candle, a bath set or a book is the safe, warm version of the same gesture — and it can be opened at school.

Thank-you gifts for teachers

A teacher receives thirty gifts in one week in July, and by the numbers most of them are mugs. A gift that stands out is not more expensive — it is the one that gets used at home rather than stored at school.

This is the shelf that does that, at $5–30: hand and bath things, a candle, stationery good enough to keep for themselves, a small self-care set. Real US prices, in stock.

For a class gift: one wishlist, one link on the parents' group, one reservation. Nobody buys twice and the money goes on one thing worth having.
