What to Buy Teachers at the End of Term (That Isn’t Wine or a Mug)
- by Natalie Wood

Looking for teacher gifts is hard. You love your kids’ teacher but it’s tricky to find a thoughtful gift that says, ‘thank you for keeping my child alive, happy and educated for the past year!’ Especially when you don’t know them on a personal level. We imagine that most teachers end up with a mug collection to rival IKEA and enough chocolate to feed a small village; why not set yourself apart? Let us do the thinking for you, and browse our selection of funny, thoughtful and useful thank you teacher gifts.

Why Shop with Us for your Teacher Gifts?
Teachers often feel under-rated and under-appreciated. The good ones work long hours and really go the extra mile for your kids to make sure they succeed. They can be more than just a teacher, they can be a shoulder to cry on, a referee and a cheerleader all rolled into one! Because of this they often suffer from stress and burnout, so a little thank you gift can mean so much more than just the presents in the box! At Laughing Sisters we love the idea that everybody can find a product that speaks to their quirks, emotions and sense of humour!
