Read our privacy notice . Teachers can make or break the school experience, which is why good teachers must be celebrated at any given moment. From bottles of wine to poetry books and candles, there are plenty of gift ideas that will tickle any teacher pink at the end of the academic year.



When blessed with more than one exceptional tutor throughout your schooling experience, then you may need to come up with numerous gift ideas to thank each and every one. Given that a student loan doesn't arrive until university has started and you’re probably saving up for either interrailing or Reading Festival, it’s wise to select inexpensive yet considered gifts. Price doesn’t necessarily negate quality.

It’s the thought that counts after all. Online retailers such as John Lewis, Not on the High Street and Etsy offer creative picks for your teacher of choice. Decorative notebooks, personalised sweet treats and classic novels are bound to move a mentor, no matter what subject they teach.

If a novelty gift is more your style, then there are plenty of items to peruse. Being the film geeks that we are, we can never resist a cinematic reference to iconic teachers such as Robin Williams’ John Keating from Dead Poets Socie.
