Lanyards and Other Gift Ideas for Teachers
In an attempt to show our appreciation to teachers, we often give them special gifts at holiday time or at the end of the school year to show them how much they mean to their students. But did you know that teachers get a lot of the same gifts over and over, and most of the time they have no idea what to do with them? Most teachers don’t need another trinket, another coffee mug, or another apple paperweight to sit on their desks. But lanyards and other useful gift ideas can help you show your appreciation without breaking the bank.
Teachers are some of the best people on the planet. They spend all day with our children, helping them to learn, grow, and eventually become responsible adults. We value their time and their work, because we know how hard it can be to spend so much time with a classroom full of children. They deserve more pay, better benefits, and a thousand thanks every day.
First, here’s what you should avoid giving: – Coffee mugs – Apple themed items – Trinkets and knick-knacks
Now, onto a few great and useful ideas:
- Thank You Notes: A short, sweet thank you note from a student will not only let a teacher know you’re grateful; it’ll also showcase what your son or daughter has learned during the school year.
- Parent Volunteer Coupons: Teachers need help sometimes. You can volunteer your time after school to organize or plan a special classroom party, or you could volunteer to share your time talking to the students about your job or expertise.
- Lanyards: Most schools require teachers to wear ID badges. You can find a lot of fun themed and beautifully decorated badge holders to add personality and flair.
- Donations: You can make a donation to a favorite charity in honor of your child’s teacher. It’s a great way to let them know you appreciate them without cluttering up their desk!
- Gift Certificates: Teachers spend a lot of their own money to get learning tools for the classroom. You could help them out by getting them gift certificates to bookstores, toy stores and office supply stores. Remember, you don’t have to spend a lot. A $5 or $10 gift card can really add up.
- Teacher Supplies: As long as school is in session, teachers will need tissues, crayons, pens, scissors, paper, glue, note pads, and folders.
- Books: Help your teacher build a classroom library with fun and educational books that students can read in the room or check out. You can even put a bookplate in the front with the child’s name, the date, and a special note.
- Magazine Subscription: Find a fun and educational magazine that the teacher and students can use for classroom room projects and activities.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money or time finding a great gift for your favorite teacher. From books to lanyards, find something original and useful.

1984 $3.76 1984 was a successful record not only because it contained solid, catchy hard rock, but also because it incorporated synthesizers into the mix, the first metal album to do so to any serious extent. Although the advances in electronic music make this material sound dated now, it’s still a highlight of Van Halen’s career. Songs like “Jump” contain a pop element that gave 1984 mainstream appeal, and … |
