As we reflect on 2020, the holiday gifts we choose for teachers are likely to be quite different from those we picked in 2019. While we’ve always appreciated our children’s educators, the challenges of remote learning introduced a new level of gratitude for their dedication. Teachers have had to adapt their meticulously crafted lesson plans to an entirely virtual environment, juggling the needs of students and parents alike. Anyone who can manage a classroom full of kids, whether in person or online, truly deserves a round of applause.
So, when it comes to showing your appreciation, what kind of gift can express your heartfelt thanks? With many of us on a budget, especially during the holiday season, finding the perfect present can be a challenge. Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of the best gifts for teachers that are not only thoughtful but also budget-friendly—each under $25! And if you order promptly, they can still arrive before Christmas.
