How do you celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week? ›

"A good rule of thumb is to spend around $20-$30," Lauren Grace, a high school math teacher by day and crafter at night wrote on her company blog, a business that sells accessories for teachers. "It's not so much about the price tag but the thought and appreciation that count," Grace shared with USA TODAY.

Happy Teachers' Day! I would like to thank you warmly and with appreciation for all your efforts and hard work over the past year, through the many troubles, difficulties, tragedies and hardships which we have faced. You have continued to give of your best for the students, and made personal sacrifices often to do so.

Championing teacher appreciation week can help teach your children about the art of gift-giving while strengthening relationships between educators and you as a parent. Plus, so many teachers go into their own pockets to pay for things throughout the year, giving them something just for them can go a long way.

It really depends on each individual family's circ*mstances, too. For some, $100 is right on the mark, while for others it's overly generous. It certainly seems that no one finds it stingy, however.

Most teacher gift cards fall between $10 and $30, but there is no required amount for a gift card — we're sure they would appreciate any and every amount you want to give! There's no pressure for an amount. Choose an amount based on your budget.

Gift cards are awesome

Sooooooo many teachers simply said that gift cards were what they really wanted for teacher appreciation week. “If you don't already have a list of their favorite things, send an email and ask for specific things, like a favorite drink or sweet/salty snack. I always appreciate that.” – M.W-L.
