Do you remember the Valentine’s gift you gave your teacher as a child? It’s not so much the gift you remember, but the actual feeling you got by giving back them.

Now your little one is asking you for gift ideas for their teacher. Don’t worry – we have a few up our sleeve that work for both male and female teachers of any age, plus free coupons to help you save on them!

Personalized Desk Supplies

Sure, a pen holder is always nice, but it’s more sentimental when you customize it with the teacher’s name. Use free Personal Creations Canada coupons to personalize things like notepads, pen and pencil sets, mouse pads and more. Save 20% when you spend $59 or more, or shop the Clearance Centre for 50% off! Check out some more gifts:

  • Desk nameplates
  • Travel mugs
  • Clipboards
  • Pen holders or trays

Day Planner

I think this is a great gift for a male or female teacher. Maybe on the first page, your little one can leave a note for them! Apply our free FranklinCovey Canada coupons for $10 off orders of $55 or more or up to 30% off planners and refills:

  • Ring or wire planners
  • Daily, weekly or monthly planners
  • Plain or decorated planner pages

Goodies

Chocolates are always a winner! Personally, I enjoy boxes of chocolates with an assortment of cream or nut filled ones. But here’s another idea: find out whether their teacher enjoys drinking coffee, tea or hot chocolate and use free Coffee For Less Canada coupons for 6% off gifts like these:

  • Tea variety packs under $10
  • Timothy’s coffee pod packs under $10
  • Hot chocolate packets by Starbucks, Carnation & Swiss Miss

Check out your local bargain shop for mugs. Let your little tyke pick one out for Teacher and place the variety packs within the mug. Then tie a red bow around it and, voila!

From Scratch!

If you’re feeling creative, schedule a baking night when the two of you can bake Teacher a batch of cookies. Or simply buy a box of Rice Krispies and follow the easy recipe to make yummy marshmallow squares! Sort the goods out in a pretty red tin and help your little one write a nice card.

Do you have any ideas for Valentine gifts for teachers? I’d love it if you shared :)

Happy Valentine’s Day!
