If you have children in preschool or elementary school, there’s a chance you are searching for a simple, sweet, and impactful gift to give them this Valentine’s Day. Deciding what to give can be challenging - do you get your child’s teacher something practical (gift cards) or do you give them a small something to show appreciation?

Amazon gift cards are always an excellent option. if you want to give a non-gift card gift (and non-candle / non-coffee mug gifts) and are having a difficult time coming up with ideas that haven’t been overdone - you’ve come to the right spot. Below are Valentine’s gift ideas for teachers that will brighten their day.

1) Good Chocolate - Godiva Chocolate

Godiva Chocolate is a great gift for two reasons - 1) It’s a consumable. This is not a long lasting item. 2) High quality. For less than $20 you can get truly a special treat. These are chocolates worth savoring!

2) Cozy socks that have a fitting design, such as these #2 pencil socks. For less than $10, you’ll be getting them something they likely have not received before.

3) Ch-ch-ch-ch-chia! Chia pets have been around forever - but your teacher likely has not seen one in ages. This is one for the nostalgic type - likely taking him or her back to when they were a kid.

4) If you want to be on-par with trend - then gift The COMFY Dream - a one-size fits most luxury wearable blanket. I’ve live in mine most of winter and have been referring them to everyone. This gift really is a comfy dream!

5) A super cute cut out card that will wow them the second the card pops open. I love these laser cut cards - they by-far the coolest cards out there. The cut out details on LovePop cards are guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.

6) It’s no secret that schools are a breeding ground for virus’s and bacteria - many public places are. For less than the cost of lunch, you can get this portable cell-phone UV sanitizer. He or she can go home each night knowing they are not taking home ALL the germs from the school day.

7) Be on-trend with the Touchland’s innovative pump hand sanitizers. This went viral on Tiktok and it’s worth the unexpected hype! They come in a 3 and 5 pack - great if you have multiple teachers to gift to.
