Thoughtful End-of-Term Gifts for Teachers (That Aren’t Mugs or Chocolates)

The school year is nearly over and if a teacher, teaching assistant or nursery keyworker has made your life easier, you might be looking for a way to say thank you.

While mugs and chocolates are classic go-tos, they’re also the most gifted items teachers receive (and not always the most useful).

This year, try something a little different: small, thoughtful gifts they’ll genuinely enjoy, without adding clutter.

Here are a few gentle ways to say thank you:

Peppermint + Eucalyptus Foot Soak

A quiet way to unwind after a long day on their feet. Easy to use, refreshing, and something they likely won’t buy for themselves.

Black Desktop Notepad

Minimal and practical. A sleek place to jot down notes, reminders, or the day’s to-dos, ideal for teachers who like things neat but never get the time.

Herbal Tea + Ceramic Mug

Okay, it’s a mug, but a good one. Our Ceramic Travel Mug paired with a calming Unwind Tea is an invitation to slow down and take a proper break.

Handwritten Card

Every order comes with a card you can personalise. A few kind words often go further than anything money can buy.
