The Best Teacher Gift Idea This Christmas

Put the Favourites down, and check out this great idea!

As we head into the final term before the Christmas holidays, our minds start to think about getting organised for the end of the year.

Our diaries fill up with Christmas functions, and we start writing our Christmas shopping lists. But while it can be relatively easy to think of gift ideas for our kids and family, it can be a little harder to know what gifts to give to our children’s teachers.

Not everyone eats chocolate, they’ve got enough coffee mugs to last a lifetime, and their work spaces are full of desk calendars and hand-made picture frames.

So what does an overworked teacher who’s in need of a holiday from her class of students really want for a thank you gift this Christmas?

Wine. Always wine!

But what turns wine into a thoughtful gift? Personalised labels, of course!

Simply buy a bottle of wine to fit your budget then order custom labels that feature your child’s photo and thankyou message.

This message is our favourite: “Our child might be the reason you drink, so enjoy this bottle on us!”

After a full year of caring for your child, helping them learn, and generally keeping them out of mischief day after day (after day!), this says, “Thanks! You deserve to unwind and have a night off!”

It’s a simple idea – a bottle of wine with a cute label – but it acknowledges your appreciation for your child’s teacher’s efforts (and frustrations!) with your child throughout the school year.

Plus it’s affordable, personalised, and thoughtful. And did we mention it’s easy?!
