It\u2019s the beginning of summer, and you\u2019ve got a lot of things on your mind. Planning vacations and camp. Buying sunscreen in bulk. And buying an end-of-year teacher appreciation gift. Wait \u2013 did you remember to buy a present for the teacher? It\u2019s almost the last day of school!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry. Here are four easy ways to buy a last-minute gift for a special classroom hero.<\/p>\n

Gift card (physical)<\/h2>\n

Are you stopping by Starbucks on your way to school? It\u2019s likely the teacher is, too. Take some time to pick up a gift card at a local coffee shop and write a nice note to accompany it. This is a gift teachers will actually use and appreciate. Plus, you\u2019ll keep them from taking out caffeine headaches<\/a> on you.<\/p>\n

Gift card (digital)<\/h2>\n

Even if you don\u2019t have a nearby coffee shop or drugstore handy to pick up some last-minute gift cards, you\u2019ve got your phone \u2013 and that\u2019s sufficient to send a fantastic present to your teacher. Some great mobile shopping options for gifts include movie tickets (the Fandango app is a good choice here), a wellness treat<\/a> like a Zeel in-home massage (which can be purchased on the Zeel app for iPhone and Android in moments), or personal care gift cards from the Sephora app. (Hey, teachers need self-care too!) You can personalize your message and have the gift certificate emailed directly to them, same-day.<\/p>\n

Supplies for the classroom<\/h2>\n

If your teacher is like most teachers, his or her classroom is understocked with essential supplies. Many teachers have a wish list of crucial items they desperately need, such as pencils, paper, markers, tissues, cleaning wipes, or snacks for the kids. Do a search online for your school or check out donorschoose.org<\/a> \u2013 even if your particular teacher doesn\u2019t have anything listed, you should get a good idea of what they need. The average teacher (as of 2014) spends $513 of their own money<\/a> on school supplies. It\u2019s time to give back.<\/p>\n

Praise<\/h2>\n

Do you have time to find a blank card at home or on your way to school? Then you have the means to give a tasteful and much-appreciated gift \u2014 the gift of a genuine thank-you. Teachers have a hard job that\u2019s not always appreciated. And no, they don\u2019t get summers off. Most teachers need to take continuing education courses, teach summer programs, or do their lesson planning for the fall. Thank your teacher in generous and specific detail. If for some reason you don\u2019t have time to buy a physical card, a thoughtful thank-you email will suffice to show your gratitude.<\/p>\n

Did the school year already end for you? Well, there\u2019s always the back to school teacher gift<\/a>!<\/p>\n
