A teacher shares her experience with unwanted gifts and offers suggestions for thoughtful presents that teachers will actually appreciate.
First of all, teachers always appreciate gifts, whether it’s art from a student or a handwritten card, Natalie Parmenter tells. When I moved in with my husband, he asked me to do a purge of my mugs because they filled up two cabinets in our kitchen, Parmenter says. The last thing we need is one more comically oversized mug that can’t go in the dishwasher.
If you’ve been in the classroom long enough you will have gotten one of these Christmas or Holiday “gifts” that’s not quite the blessing you hoped for. 😜 I’ve got plenty of good ideas for parents and students to share with my full gift guide. Find it on my Y.T. ch4nnel. To put inside our mugs! Parmenter exclaims. Teachers love getting gift cards — no matter the dollar amount. It’s the thought that counts. Layne wrote, in part on TikTok. But after eight years, I do have 30 coffee mugs from students and I’m running out of space, people!. “We teachers do not want more mugs. I have a cabinet full of them, and I do not need more. A broken snowman ornament that a family said the child could take off the family tree for his teacher because they couldn’t afford anything. He choose the snowman because he knew I loved snow. I had the sweetest child in third grade almost 20 years ago. She knew I liked the Steelers football team and painted a piece of wood black and yellow and made it into a ruler. I still have it. Gift cards to places where I can’t use it on classroom supplies lol (where I’m forced to pick something for myself — like a dinner out or a new shirt). I LOVE getting pictures, drawings and cards from my students and families. I have EVERY single one that I’ve received in my early childhood education years (10+years)
