    Take a look at this incredible list of end of the year teacher gifts your favorite teachers will love to get (and you'll love giving them).

    After pouring into your kids for months on end, teachers deserve a huge "thank you". They spend all day with our kids...teaching them important academic lessons, as well as life lessons.

    They help them navigate the social aspects of growing up, and they do it all day while we go to work or care for our younger kids.

    Teachers are vitally important to students (and us).

    Here we are in the middle of a pandemic, and many families have been forced to homeschool their kids (at least partially). Now, maybe more than ever, we realize how much teachers have to put up with and how much we need them.

    24 gifts to give your teacher at the end of a long year

    When researching items for this post, I asked my sister and brother in law (both are teachers) about their favorite gifts they've received from their students over the years.

    They had quite a few special gifts that came to mind. And the one thing they all had in common was each gift was chosen specifically for them. It was clear that the student (and probably parent) really thought about what they would like.

    They were thoughtful gift. Intentional gifts. Gifts given because of something the student KNEW the teacher was interested in, or even something they had created JUST for them.

    A few thoughts to get your brain churning to find that perfect thoughtful teacher gift for the end of the year...

    • Is your teacher a foodie? Give them a few of your favorite recipes or even a Sun Basket gift card to give them a night off of cooking. They deserve it!
    • Are they a sports fan? If you know your teacher is a big NFL fan, get them some socks with their favorite team's logo on it.
    • Coffee enthusiast? Give them a special mug, or coffee beans, or a Starbucks gift card.
