The long-await­ed farell par­ty: chil­dren are emo­tion­al, par­ents exhale that anoth­er life stage has passed, teach­ers with a sad smile see off their wards. The tra­di­tion of giv­ing gifts to teach­ers is old. No mat­ter how strong the voic­es of oppo­nents sound in the spir­it: “Teach­ers get paid, why should they give some­thing away?”, Many still sin­cere­ly want to thank the men­tor of their chil­dren. More­over, there is a great rea­son for this — the end of school. “We” has col­lect­ed the best gift ideas for teach­ers for grad­u­a­tion.

Top 25 Best Teacher Graduation Gift Ideas

The prices of all gifts in our selec­tion do not exceed the price of 30$. Because Arti­cle 575 of the Civ­il Code pro­hibits accept­ing gifts for employ­ees of the edu­ca­tion­al sec­tor, with a val­ue above this mark.

It is unlike­ly that some­one out­side will take an inter­est in the true price and inform the author­i­ties. But sit­u­a­tions are dif­fer­ent. Grad­u­a­tion gifts for teach­ers more expen­sive than this amount can be regard­ed as a bribe. This can involve both par­ties. There­fore, it is bet­ter not to take risks and not to sub­sti­tute the teacher. All the same, the best reward for him will be a respect­ful and warm atti­tude from the stu­dents.

1. Thermal mug

In an era when peo­ple live with a glass of cof­fee or tea to go, this is a very rel­e­vant gift. In such a mug, the drink retains heat for a long time. And the design is con­ve­nient­ly closed and does not spill in the bag. Good mod­els have a heat­ing func­tion. They are pored by a small bat­tery or con­nect­ed with a USB cable to any com­put­er.

2. Desktop humidifier

Mod­els that can set the required lev­el of humid­i­ty in the entire room are ll worth it. And our task is to offer gift ideas to teach­ers for grad­u­a­tion no more than 30 $. Portable devices fit per­fect­ly under this cat­e­go­ry. They are placed on the desk­top and cre­ate a pleas­ant micro­cli­mate around. They save on a hot sum­mer day or if the bat­ter­ies are exces­sive­ly hot in the win­ter.

3. Gift set of tea

Or cof­fee, accord­ing to the taste of the teacher. We think the chil­dren will tell you that their teacher likes to drink more. The pre­sen­ta­tion is good because in any case it will be in demand. The teacher will be able to take him home or leave him at work. After all, our­selves rarely buy good tea and cof­fee for our ser­vice, and here there is a rea­son to please the teacher.

4. Neck Massager

A com­pact gad­get that heats up to a pleas­ant tem­per­a­ture and vibrates gen­tly. It kneads the cer­vi­cal-col­lar zone, dis­pers­es the blood, relieves ten­sion, and for some it even helps with headaches. The gift is again good because the teacher can either leave it at work or take it home.

5. Back cushion

Anoth­er attribute that is direct­ly relat­ed to the seden­tary work of a teacher. An office chair is not always com­fort­able. This gift will help keep your back straight and main­tain a nat­ur­al deflec­tion in the lor back. As a rule, such pil­lows are filled with mate­r­i­al with a mem­o­ry effect. It takes the shape of the body line and does not miss more than nec­es­sary.

6. Digital ather station

It does not pull on the role of the main present, but it seems like an inter­est­ing gift. Espe­cial­ly if the teacher teach­es nat­ur­al sci­ences: geog­ra­phy, biol­o­gy, physics or chem­istry. He can leave the device in the class­room and then use it in the edu­ca­tion­al process. Think through extra­or­di­nary lab­o­ra­to­ry work with him and clear­ly explain to future stu­dents how the ather out­side the win­dow depends on atmos­pher­ic pres­sure and wind speed.

7. Flor Growing Kit

Kits with a pot, prop­er­ly select­ed soil and seeds re orig­i­nal­ly sold in the depart­ments of chil­dren’s goods. Some­thing like a set of juniors. But today they are also made for adults. An orig­i­nal planter, for exam­ple, made of wood, exot­ic flors or even a tree seedling will delight the teacher and keep the mem­o­ry of your grad­u­a­tion for a long time.

8. Shawl

Gift for ladies teach­ers. It is clear that you will not flaunt in this in the 21st cen­tu­ry. But to use as a neat alter­na­tive to a blan­ket on a cold work day — why not? Now they pro­duce a great vari­ety of scarves with inter­est­ing prints and pat­terns.

9. External battery

Or a por bank. Com­pact, has large resources and all pos­si­ble slots for charg­ing. Con­sid­er­ing that many teach­ers today use tablets, lap­tops and smart­phones to pre­pare for lessons, a present will sure­ly help out more than once.

10. Nordic walking poles

A young teacher will not under­stand such a gift for grad­u­a­tion. And the one that is clos­er to retire­ment age may catch fire. Nordic walk­ing is incred­i­bly pop­u­lar today. For this spar­ing and at the same time effec­tive sport, there are no con­traindi­ca­tions. Peo­ple in their 60s and 70s choose walk­ing as a hob­by and start every morn­ing with the next dis­tance.

11. Wireless speaker

It is a pity that the allot­ted finan­cial lim­it for a gift is not enough for a sys­tem with a built-in voice assis­tant. But it is quite pos­si­ble to keep with­in and buy an ordi­nary high-qual­i­ty col­umn. Such a grad­u­a­tion present can again be con­sid­ered from the point of view of use­ful­ness both at home and in the work of a teacher. Broad­cast audio record­ings dur­ing a les­son or engage in a class­room dis­co.

12. Gift certificate

For those who don’t want to take the risk with a grad­u­a­tion gift that might not be out of place. Giv­ing mon­ey in an enve­lope is not eth­i­cal, and the cer­tifi­cate card is devoid of neg­a­tive con­no­ta­tions. But the teacher him­self will be able to choose the right thing in the store.

13. Footrest

A sim­ple gift that makes life eas­i­er for every­one who works at the table for a long time. A good prod­uct has an adjustable tilt angle and height, a relief sur­face for mas­sage has been added. The stand helps to unload the spine, improves blood cir­cu­la­tion in the legs.

14. Galileo thermometer

An Ital­ian physi­cist of the past invent­ed a sim­i­lar device dur­ing his life­time. Today, the accu­ra­cy of his tes­ti­mo­ny leaves much to be desired. The error is 3 — 4 degrees. But it looks very styl­ish. Such a sou­venir will dec­o­rate any room: a school class or your teacher’s house. The bot­tom line is that mul­ti-col­ored buoys float in the flask. Depend­ing on the tem­per­a­ture in the room, they change loca­tion. The lost buoy reports the cur­rent tem­per­a­ture.

15. Teapot

Today, the shops have an exten­sive selec­tion of kitchen uten­sils. The teapot can be made of glass or ceram­ic, avant-garde in shape and with clas­sic mul­ti-col­ored paint­ings. Nice and inex­pen­sive gift. The school will def­i­nite­ly find a use for it.

16. Decorative book holder

Nice inte­ri­or item. Two stands that fix mag­a­zines or vol­umes from dif­fer­ent sides. It looks styl­ish and com­ple­ments the inte­ri­or of any room. It is dec­o­rat­ed with dif­fer­ent fig­urines: sil­hou­ettes of cats, a horse’s head or myth­i­cal Atlantes.

17. Aroma diffuser

Styl­ish bot­tle filled with fra­grant essence. Wood­en sticks are insert­ed into it, soaked in the solu­tion and spread the fra­grance. Cheap vari­a­tions smell ak and the bou­quet is not cho­sen in the best way. But more expen­sive dif­fusers are much bet­ter. By the way, elec­tric ver­sions are also on sale. They work on the prin­ci­ple of an air humid­i­fi­er, they only scat­ter aro­mat­ic oils.

18. Smartphone Sterilizer

A top­i­cal thing for today. A com­pact box in which the gad­get is fold­ed, the lid slams shut and mag­ic hap­pens inside. In fact, the mobile phone is sim­ply treat­ed with ultra­vi­o­let light. Such radi­a­tion is detri­men­tal to most bac­te­ria. Cool mod­els are equipped with a wire­less charg­ing func­tion. It turns out a 2 in 1 device.

19. Drip coffee maker

The cost of this house­hold appli­ance just fits into a cer­tain bud­get. And enough even for a good mod­el with heat­ed con­tain­ers. The prin­ci­ple of oper­a­tion is sim­ple. Ground cof­fee is poured into the fil­ter and hot water is dripped through it. The result is a teapot of fresh­ly bred black drink.

20. Smart bracelet

We are sure that young teach­ers will appre­ci­ate such a grad­u­a­tion gift. Nar­row wrist strap with dis­play. It shows the time, the num­ber of steps tak­en, the pulse and is able to fol­low dif­fer­ent types of train­ing. This is used by men and women, so you can safe­ly give.

21. Office stationery set

At first glance, this gift idea seems bor­ing. But not all schools have a ll-estab­lished sys­tem for buy­ing basic sta­tionery. Some­times teach­ers are forced to buy paper so as not to leave chil­dren with­out print­outs for lessons, to have a pack of spare pens for for­get­ful school­child­ren, etc. If you know that there are prob­lems with the office in the edu­ca­tion­al insti­tu­tion, then give the teacher a large set for grad­u­a­tion.

22. Photo album

Print­ed pho­tographs are becom­ing rare these days. And you will reverse the trend: order a large selec­tion of frames for grad­u­a­tion. Col­lect all the pic­tures from the school life from the guys in the class. Let filmed on a smart­phone and in poor qual­i­ty. A print­ed pho­to has a spe­cial mag­ic. Well, it would be nice to add a few shots with your favorite teacher to the album.

23. Cooling pads for laptops

Suit­able if the teacher has such a com­put­er. This sim­ple gad­get is essen­tial­ly a table with built-in fans, oth­er­wise called a cool­er. The sys­tem cools the fill­ing of the lap­top, pre­vents over­heat­ing, which means the com­put­er runs faster.

24. Lunchbox

Styl­ish and high-qual­i­ty replace­ment for the usu­al food con­tain­ers. Instead of bulky plas­tic jars — neat con­tain­ers made of envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly mate­ri­als. Some can be fold­ed to a com­pact size.

25. Gift edition of the book

It would be nice just to know the approx­i­mate area of ​​inter­est of the teacher, so as not to mis­cal­cu­late the genre of the book. Today, thou­sands of the­mat­ic pub­li­ca­tions with vivid illus­tra­tions are on sale. Not only fic­tion, but also jour­nal­ism, pop­u­lar sci­ence works. The deluxe edi­tion also looks great on the shelf.

Graduation Gift Tips for Teachers

Decide who and when to give. Not all teach­ers are invit­ed to grad­u­a­tion. It all depends on the tra­di­tions of the school and class. Hov­er, it will be embar­rass­ing if at grad­u­a­tion stu­dents and par­ent com­mit­tees pompous­ly present presents to the class teacher, and the rest are left with­out signs of atten­tion. If you didn’t plan to give any­thing to oth­er teach­ers, it’s bet­ter to give the gift to your teacher in a more inti­mate atmos­phere.

Bou­quet from class. The good Sovi­et tra­di­tion — flors for the teacher — is being trans­formed today. And not because peo­ple have become tight-fist­ed, and teach­ers are less fond of flors. It’s just that both sides real­ized that a huge buck­et of bou­quets would with­er soon­er or lat­er. There­fore, today it is cus­tom­ary to give one good bou­quet from every­one. Oth­er mon­ey for flors is offered to donate to char­i­ties. The flash mob even got the name “Chil­dren instead of flors.”

What to give a teacher for the last call

Keep gift receipts. Of course, you don’t need to apply them. But you need to keep it. All because of the very law, accord­ing to which any gift more expen­sive than 30 $ can be regard­ed as a bribe.

Don’t know what to give your teacher for grad­u­a­tion? Give him a choice. You can direct­ly ask the men­tor what is miss­ing. Only del­i­cate­ly, they say, maybe some­thing is required in the class. Or just present the cer­tifi­cate to one of the shop­ping malls in your city, and the teacher will choose what he needs.

Do not give “sub­ject” gifts to sub­ject stu­dents. Fizruk — a gold­en whis­tle, a geo­g­ra­ph­er — a globe, and a teacher of lit­er­a­ture — anoth­er col­lec­tion of Pushk­in’s works. Not the best idea. Of course, there are sit­u­a­tions when a teacher is so pas­sion­ate about his work that he is real­ly hap­py with the edu­ca­tion­al globe. But a gift should first please a per­son, and sec­on­dar­i­ly be direct­ly relat­ed to his pro­fes­sion.
