5 Affordable ‘Thank You Teacher’ Gifts
As the school year comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to show our teachers some well-deserved gratitude for their hard work and guidance over the last year. At Poundland, we understand that finding the right thank-you teacher gift is important. But we also recognise that it can feel overwhelming with price tags quickly accumulating to an astonishing total -- particularly if you’re buying for multiple teachers! But fear not, because Poundland has got you covered with our fantastic collection of affordable gift ideas for teachers that won't break the bank! From thoughtful tokens of appreciation to delicious edible surprises, our selection of budget-friendly presents is just the ticket to say a heartfelt “thank you” without splashing too much cash. Let's dive into our brilliant and affordable thank-you teacher gifts that'll brighten any teacher's day!
What Do You Buy a Teacher to Say Thank You?
With every passing year, teachers and mentors will come and go. Some will teach you throughout school, while others will teach you in life - but it’s always important to show them just how much you appreciate their dedication and the lessons that they’ve taught you. We understand that finding end-of-year teacher gifts can be a very sentimental gesture for both you and the teacher receiving them. This one small token gift can express your respect, gratitude, love, and appreciation as a massive “thank you” for their devotion to you over the last year.
At Poundland, we can help you with our special collection of teacher-present ideas. Why not check out our Magnetic To Do List Notepad to help the teacher who is always forgetful, our Plastic Succulent In Marble Pot for the teacher who always feels more like a parent, and our Country Club Foot Warmer for the teacher who always complains that they’re cold! And, if that’s not enough to show your appreciation, how about creating your very own personalised gift hamper using some of our cheap teacher gifts? Start with one of our affordable storage boxes, and fill it with a mixture of useful stationery, delicious chocolates, and a little something for self-care to ensure your teacher remembers to take care of themselves whilst taking care of you!
Weekly Planners to Keep on Track for the School Week
Help your teacher organise their busy work life of to-do lists, subject and project deadlines, meetings, and work schedules for each day of the week with our practical and thoughtful stationery gifts. Explore options like our A4 Weekly Planner or Bee Weekly A4 Planner for the ultimate teacher gift idea! Pair their weekly planner with a Pepco Soy Metal Candle in Rose and Jasmine to help them destress after a demanding week of teaching and to allow them to reset and get ready for the week ahead. And, of course, no gift would be complete without a beautiful gift bag to finish it off! For only 80p, shop our Large Adult Gift Bag beautifully decorated with purple and blue flowers, giving it that extra special touch!
Brighten Up their Desk with a Faux Succulent
A faux succulent makes the perfect end-of-year teacher gift to brighten up any mundane desk in the classroom. It's a charming and low-maintenance way to add a touch of greenery to their workspace, symbolising growth and appreciation. Unlike real plants, it requires no care, ensuring it remains a lasting token of gratitude without adding to their busy schedule. It serves as a cheerful reminder of your appreciation for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. From just 80p, you can discover our fantastic range of faux plants, including the Plastic Succulent in Marble Pot, and the Artificial Plant in a Pot, both deemed as the best gifts for teachers!
Create a Personalised Teacher Chocolate Poem
Want to make your teacher laugh? Well, why not put your creativity to the test and show off your English skills using our delicious chocolates and sweets to make a ‘punny’ poem? Let them know that they’re “the best teacher in the Galaxy” with our Galaxy Smooth Caramel & Milk Chocolate Block, that they are “one in a million” with our Millions Sweets available in Bubble Gum or Strawberry, or that they “brought out the smarties in you” using our Smarties Milk Chocolate Tube. You can even cleverly call them “your heroes” with our Cadbury Heroes Gift Box or thank them for “being available even after eight’ with our Nestle After Eight Chocolates. With these teacher-present ideas, you’ll be able to WOW your teachers whilst sticking to a budget!
You can even bring your vision to life with our amazing value Crayola Card, ready to use in a handy pack of white, and our Hobby Corner Colouring Felt Pens, all available online and in your local Poundland store. Not only will you impress your teacher with your creativity, but it’s also a budget-friendly way of showing how much you care.
Make Your Own ‘Thank You Teacher’ Hamper
If you're ready to give back to your teachers who went the extra mile for you this year, create a personalised gift hamper for them and watch as they gleam from ear to ear. Start with one of our affordable and convenient storage boxes like the Pepco Grey Small Plastic Storage Basket as the base for your gift hamper, and top it off with our Hamper Red Wrapping Set – perfect for giving it that premium look for less! Once the base is complete, you can then start to plan the interior gifts using our teacher’s present ideas! Try adding some delicious chocolates and sweet treats like our Fry’s Turkish Delight Bars, Toblerone Milk Chocolate Large Bar, or even our Cadbury Wispa Chocolate Bars. They’re sure to be a big hit! And why not opt for one of our wonderfully scented candles like the Yankee Cozy Cotton Candle, or one of the Bloome scented candles available in Fresh Linen, Rose Garden, Vanilla Essence, Oriental Garden and Mixed Berries. Gifting a candle is the perfect present to allow your teacher to find their ‘zen’ after a busy day of teaching!
We also have fantastic self-care gift sets that are perfect for pampering your teacher to the max! Explore options like the Garnier Skin Active Night & Bright Collection, the Pepco Orientique Blood Orange & Amber Gift Set, and the Elysium Bath Oil & Bomb Manderine & Ginger Gift Set to show how much you care! Or, if skincare isn’t your teacher’s thing, then why not opt for a delightfully fragranced perfume gift set like the Scentalis Gift Set Blue Eau De Toilette? These gifts are guaranteed to be a showstopper!
