It’s really not a matter of how much you spend. Teachers truly do appreciate the gifts they get no matter how inexpensive they were. These teacher appreciation gifts under $10 will give you some great ideas!
When I was a teacher, I truly loved all the gifts the kids brought to me. It was just that little bit of recognition that really meant all the world. Some kids picked out dollar store gifts and others brought a homemade card with a heartfelt message in it. Kids who lived on a farm brought asparagus or eggs or hams, and every bit of it touched my heart.
The following items are ones that I would have been happy to receive. They’re all under $10 but please know that if even that would be a financial burden, I don’t know any teachers who kept count of who brought gifts and who didn’t.
Anything we received was lovely, but I never would want someone to give me something out of obligation or something that would put a strain on their finances. Just receiving a note of appreciation from parents and/or the kids was incredibly special and more than enough.
Note that some of these come in a pack with more than one in it. So, some may be over $10 total but are less than $10 individually. In addition, please note that Amazon’s prices are subject to change. These ideas were updated for 2024, but it is still possible for them to have changed since publishing.
