Schools nearly out for summer and after another turbulent year, teachers need an even greater pat on the back for juggling IRL and home-schooling commitments coupled with erratic bubble bursts.
So, if you’re looking for a celebratory, thankful or just a little something to show you care, we’ve picked out some fantastic teacher gifts that are guaranteed to put a smile on any teacher’s face this end of year.
Cartwright & Butler Thank You Teacher Gift Bag
This wonderful gift bag is filled with some yummy goodness that makes a fantastic shareable gift if you’re after something for the TAs and teachers to enjoy together. Included is Cartwright & Butler’s best selling Lemon Zest Shortbread Rounds along with some English Breakfast Tea, perfect to dip into in the staffroom during break. The bag also includes the brand new creamy Butter Fudge Bar.

Seed Card Company cards
A gift and a card in one, these beautiful teacher cards are a fantastic and ethical way to gift.

From the card, ink to the packaging, the cards are all eco-friendly and vegan. Priced £3.95 from www.theseedcardcompany.com
Hayland & Whittle Candle and Diffuser
It can often be tough to know what to buy for someone that you have had very little face time with over the past year so something for the home is always a fairly safe bet. Products that can be enjoyed by everyone and last over time are always greatly received which is why we included these stunning candles and diffusers from Hayland & Whittle.
Specialising in hand-poured candles and reed diffusers encased in beautiful glass packaging, the brand is well known for their irrestible three scents – Geranium & Oud, Hibiscus & White Tea and Mint & Bergamot reed. Our favourite is the Hibiscus and White Tea for it’s warm and comforting fragrance that will fill any home with a strong scent from a short burn. Priced from £24 from www.heylandandwhittle.co.uk
