A good teacher gift does not have to be big. A small, useful thing and a few words from the child are often what a teacher remembers. Here are five bundles from Gribzy, each under 15 € and each suitable for men and women. They work for Teachers’ Day, Christmas, the end of the school year, or any day a child wants to say thank you.

When small gifts fit best

• Teachers’ Day on 5 October
• Jõulud, when a child has several teachers to thank
• The end of the school or nursery year
• From one child to a music teacher, coach, assistant teacher or school nurse
• When a substitute teacher leaves after covering a term

• Use the child’s drawing on the notebook cover or the card.
• Add the teacher’s name to the photo coaster or magnet.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good small gift for a teacher?

Something useful and light: a photo notebook, a hand cream, a reading light or a photo coaster with the class photo. A handwritten card from the child makes even a small gift special.

Teachers’ Day (õpetajate päev) is celebrated on 5 October, the same date as World Teachers’ Day.

Are these small gifts suitable for men and women?
