School is back in session, and that means teachers are hard at work. \u00a0It\u2019s traditional to start the year off with a back-to-school gift for teachers \u2013\u00a0after all, they do one of the most important jobs in the world. If you want to thank your teacher for helping Madison and Aidan learn how\u00a0to read\/do calculus\/get into college, here are some back to school gifts that make sense.<\/p>\n

Go big<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re the organized type, harness the power of parents and go in together on a bigger present for back to school. \u00a0A Zeel Massage would make a wonderful gift for any teacher – a massage on demand<\/a> at home in the afternoon would be a thoughtful after-school gift. Each parent can contribute as little as $25 toward the in-home Zeel Massage gift<\/a>. Or chip in on a tablet, usable for both work and after-school activities.<\/p>\n

Classroom essentials<\/h2>\n

These classroom essentials make great teacher presents.<\/p>\n

Lip balm<\/h4>\n

All that talking can dry lips out!<\/p>\n

Water bottle<\/h4>\n

Always appreciated \u2013 teaching is thirsty work, and it\u2019s important to stay hydrated. \u00a0Also great for teachers who like to run or work out.<\/p>\n

Classroom scarf or cardigan<\/h4>\n

Some classrooms can be very chilly. Teachers love gifts like scarves or sweaters.<\/p>\n

Fan<\/h4>\n

If the room, on the other hand, is way too hot, a small portable fan is also welcome.<\/p>\n

Other treats<\/h2>\n

Teachers aren\u2019t always in the classroom, despite what their students think. \u00a0Here are some gifts that teachers will love when they\u2019re not on the job.<\/p>\n

A gift certificate to Amazon<\/h4>\n

Sure, it\u2019s ostensibly for buying school supplies, but no one will know if a teacher buys the latest Margaret Atwood novel instead.<\/p>\n

Ground coffee or tea<\/h4>\n

Teachers start the day early. The gift of caffeine will be treasured.<\/p>\n

Baked goods<\/h4>\n

Brownies, cookies, banana bread, Rice Krispie Treats, you name it. Bake them yourself or be all Bad Moms and pick them up at the local supermarket. You might want to check to see if the teacher has any dietary restrictions first (gluten-free, no nuts, etc.) Skip the apples, unless you’re making apple pie. (Mmm… apple pie.)<\/p>\n

(If you\u2019ve been a slacker and you feel that it\u2019s already too late to get a back to school gift, you\u2019re wrong. In fact, your gift will be even more welcome because it doesn\u2019t arrive with all the other gifts. Plus, you\u2019ll have had a week or two to get to know your child\u2019s teachers a bit better.\u00a0 Remember, presents are always welcome! \u00a0And then again, there\u2019s always holiday gifts for teachers, \u00a0if you want to wait a few months for any reason.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
