So you've rounded up Valentine's gifts for all the kids in classroom, but don't forget to get a gift for your kid's teacher. Teachers spend time with your kids all day — and that should already tell you that even a little something can go a long way to show how much you appreciate them.
But what's an appropriate gift that you can give from both parent and student? And what's a gift they'd actually like and use? Well, we actually conducted a survey with teachers across the country and found that the top gift most teachers would appreciate are gift cards. So we've compiled some of our favorite gift card suggestions for teachers below.
But if you wanted to gift something a little more tangible, we've also come up with some other ideas, including bestselling items and personal recommendations that your favorite teachers will definitely enjoy.
From practical desk accessories to personalized mugs to fun knick-knacks that show off teacher pride, you'll find the best Valentine's Day gifts for teachers below. No matter who you're shopping for, you'll find something any teacher, coach or principal on this list. An added bonus: None of these gifts costs over $50. Just note that for any personalized items, you'll want to factor in delivery time since you'll be dealing with small businesses (which we love!).
