10 Christmas Gifts for Teachers to Show Your Gratitude
Teachers play a huge role in kids’ lives and the festive season is a great time to show you appreciate all their hard work throughout the year. Parent-teacher relationships are interesting, your kids probably know this person better than you do. That’s why it’s a fun idea to get them to help you choose the gift! We present our list of unique present ideas for teachers.
1. Gift relaxation and reading time with Booktopia
With homework to mark and lessons to prepare, reading for pleasure might fall by the wayside. A gift card for some new books can encourage some much needed down-time. Let your giftee choose from the latest bestsellers, a classic or you could recommend a title in your greeting message.
2. Plan their next movie day with Event Cinemas
As there isn’t much time for teachers to get to the cinema during the school week. Help them see the latest releases these school holidays with an Event Cinemas gift card. Gold Class tickets are an extra special gift if you’re feeling particularly generous this festive season.
3. Treat them to dinner out with a Restaurant and Dining Gift Card
A nice meal out is a thoughtful and sustainable gift that can be enjoyed by anyone. They can swap the gift card for a bespoke range of eGift cards from top Australian eateries.
4. Or, bring dinner to them with a Foodie Smart eGift Card
As the festive season rolls in, teachers have end of year celebrations to organise and end of year exams to mark. After a long day at work, there is nothing better than enjoying a nice restaurant visit or relish the convenience of having restaurant-quality food delivered. With a Foodie gift card, they can take a night off from cooking and enjoy a meal of their choice.
5. Give them an experience for Show & Tell with RedBalloon
An experience gift is an exciting way to show you care and help them create new memories with friends or loved ones. Whether it’s a cheese making class or a horse riding experience, let them try something new with a RedBalloon gift card.
6. Relax and unwind with Endota Spa
There’s no denying that being a teacher is a stressful job. Show your appreciation for their hard work and efforts with a gift card for some well-deserved pampering! With an Endota Spa gift card, they could get a massage, a facial or indulge in a skincare treatment.
7. Upgrade their playground duty coffee mug with Frank Green
A classic teacher Christmas gift idea is a ‘world’s best teacher’ mug. The updated version of that gift is a chic, sustainable and functional reusable coffee cup by Frank Green. Not a coffee drinker? There is also a wide range of sleek reusable water bottles to choose from.
8. Support their hobbies with BCF and Rebel Sport
A gift made for outdoors lovers! BCF can help them stock up on gear for their next off-the-grid adventure. Or, have you seen them on the sidelines coaching a team at school? If they’re sporty, a gift card for Rebel Sport can help them prepare for their own game on the weekend.
9. Treat them to a new work bag with Maison De Sabre
The New Year is just around the corner, so why not give them something that they can use next term at school? With a Maison De Sabre gift card, they can explore a range of premium leather bags, backpacks and phone cases. A timeless gift that they can keep for years to come.
10. Still not sure? Spread holiday cheer with the Merry Christmas gift card

FAQs about Christmas Gifts for Teachers
What are the most popular gifts for teachers?
Whilst you can’t go wrong with a nice bottle of wine, bouquet of flowers or box of Christmas biscuits, these are all rather generic gift ideas. Your child might be one of twenty students giving their teacher a gift, so getting them something they actually want is a recipe for success! That’s why gift cards make the best gifts for teachers. With Prezzee Merry Christmas Smart eGift Card, they can choose from hundreds of participating retailers to get something special for themselves.
What should you consider when choosing a Christmas gift for a teacher?
A gift that appeals to their interests will help yours stand out from the rest. Do you or your child know how they like to spend their weekends? If they specialise in a certain subject, could you get them something that applies to their field of expertise? You might not have spent much time with this person, so asking your child if they can think of anything their teacher might like is a good place to start. Teachers are some of our hardest workers so giving them a gift that allows them to relax, unwind and have fun will always be well-received.
How much for a teacher’s Christmas gift should you spend?
There is no hard and fast rule when it comes to Christmas gift budgets for teachers and with Prezzee you can buy gift cards from $5 all the way up to $500. If your child is in high school and you are giving gifts to multiple teachers, then you might choose a smaller gift card value for each one. It really depends on your personal situation and what kind of relationship you and your child have with their teacher.
What to write for a teacher in a card?
Before you start writing ‘Merry Christmas’ in your card, remember that not everyone celebrates Christmas. If you’re not sure about the teacher’s situation, a ‘Happy Holidays’ message is a safe bet. Or, you could convey your gratitude with a simple thank you message. All Prezzee gift cards can be personalised with a written message so you can send your gift with a thoughtful note attached. You could include your child in the experience of writing the message so they can show their gratitude as well.
