# Gifts for Teachers

> How to choose gifts for teachers: Christmas and end-of-year ideas, Teacher Appreciation Week plans, class group gifts, and small thank-yous under $15.

## About this site

Gifts for Teachers is about one question: what do you give a teacher? We cover the moments that send families shopping — the winter holidays, Teacher Appreciation Week in early May, the last week of school, retirement and the small thank-you in between — and how to pick something that fits a working classroom instead of the gift-shop "teacher" shelf.
