The years spent at school are for many people truly the happiest in life. During this period, both victories and defeats happen. And experienced and wise teachers support and instruct schoolchildren throughout the journey. It is to them with great gratitude and warmth in the heart that graduates come back again and again, even after many years.
Consider several options for memorable gifts to the teacher on the evening of the meeting of graduates.
Gift Options
Flowers
Modern florists will simply turn your head around with an abundance of the most original and stylish options for bouquets and floral arrangements. Therefore, you should not think that flowers are a simple and banal present, similar to which teachers already have enough. Team up with classmates and order a magnificent bouquet from the best florist of your city. Do not hesitate, the recipient will be delighted.
By the way, if you think that flowers are usually presented only to female teachers, then this is completely wrong. You can make an excellent composition for a male teacher by adding there not only plants, but also fruits, tea, coffee or other additions.
Appliances
If you are a supporter of more practical gifts, then you can present to the teacher on the anniversary of the release of some of the useful appliances for the home. Thus, every time a person uses this item, he will remember you with warmth. You can give anything you want: a slow cooker, a blender, a food processor. In order not to miss the choice, try to find out in advance from friends or relatives of the teacher that right now he would be most useful.
Do not think that such a surprise will be devoid of elegance. On the contrary, teachers are often given sweets and souvenirs, against this background, practical gifts will only win.
Modern gadgets
Just imagine how much you will simplify the life of your beloved teacher if you give him a compact and powerful laptop that will replace an old stationary computer. Even schoolchildren will be grateful to you, because their lessons will then become much more interesting, because how many beautiful presentations you want to make on a new laptop. Or give your former teacher a modern smartphone.
Do not assume that such a surprise will cost too much. After all, if you collect the necessary amount of the whole class, you will need very little from each.
Pleasant memories
What could be more touching than recalling the past school years after 10 years or 5, 15, 20, 25, and especially 35 years after graduation? Photos and videos will help to revive pictures in memory. You can mount a small film using any materials that have been preserved. Make a multimedia presentation with photos or print a real collage. You see, no one can hold back sincere tears, and after that the soul will be filled with light sadness and nostalgia.
Both you and your classmates and teachers will suddenly again clearly feel how close they were and how much they meant to each other in the old days.
Certifications
A certificate for an event, service or purchase will be a great surprise for any person, including a class teacher. It is better to purchase it with an open date, so that the teacher is not in a hurry and just could have time to use it. You can purchase a certificate in a clothing store, accessories, jewelry, cosmetics, household appliances, etc.
Better yet, find a certificate for attending any interesting and useful master classes, present a paraglider flight, massage services or a visit to the spa. Tickets to the theater will be an equally wonderful gift, especially if a performance with the participation of famous actors is planned in your city.
Vouchers
Just imagine the delight of a teacher who was tired of worries, who had the opportunity to go on a trip or to a sanatorium. Modern airlines daily offer a huge number of profitable flight options to other cities and countries.
Sometimes a ticket to a neighboring state is even cheaper than a dinner in a restaurant. Specify in advance the question of the availability of free time for the teacher on certain dates. Also find out about the preferences of the teacher or teacher. If traveling to hot countries does not work, find a good offer from the sanatoriums located in your region.
The teacher with incredible gratitude will remember you, breathing fresh air, reading a book in the park and enjoying minutes of rest. Such a gift is definitely necessary for everyone without exception.
Personalized pen
No matter what subject the teacher teaches, he just needs a pen. And what could be better than an incredibly beautiful, exclusive pen engraved from your favorite students? This gift is equally suitable for women and men.
Unusual set of dishes
There is hardly a teacher who has never been given a china set or tea pair. Therefore, it is quite difficult to present this kind of gift so that it is not too commonplace. However, if you still decide to choose the dishes, look for the most original options. It can be handmade or antique specimens.
Useful Tips
- Focus on a person’s hobbies. The best surprise for a literature teacher would be a theater ticket or a new collector's book in a beautiful cover.If the teacher likes to draw, you can give a certificate for a master class of a famous artist, an exhibition in the gallery, expensive paints, etc. For teachers who are fond of extreme sports, it is worth presenting the appropriate equipment.
- Do not focus on value. Even the most expensive thing will not make a proper impression if it is not given from the heart. Believe me, teachers will be much more pleased with a self-made collage with photos of your class than an expensive service presented “purely symbolically”.
- Be careful. Remember that your teacher loves more than anything. For example, if he cannot imagine life without coffee, give it to him. Just select a truly high-quality variety with great taste. The same applies to tea, sweets, etc. Do not be afraid to make contact and directly ask the teacher or his friends what particular gift would bring him the greatest joy. Sometimes a beautiful thermo mug or a set of exquisite spices gives more happiness than very expensive presents.
It doesn't matter which graduation gift you choose. The cost and originality of a surprise is not as important as your attention and presence are invaluable. After all, any person is pleased when they remember him.
