What to give to the teacher on Teacher's Day?

Teacher's Day in Russia is celebrated on October 5th. Russians congratulate educators together with the whole world - this day is World Teacher's Day, established by UNESCO. And according to the good old tradition, it is customary to give gifts to teachers, class teachers. And here parents have a lot of questions, the main of which is how to choose a successful gift.

Not so long ago, for some reason, it was believed that a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers was enough for a teacher to have a good mood on their professional holiday. Today, there are trends to a more personalized selection of gifts, and this is good news. Parents and children try to present original gifts so that they will be remembered by their beloved teacher for many years.

Selecting a gift should be borne in mind that we are talking about a professional holiday, and the gift must fully comply with the spirit of the day, and also reflect the area of ​​interests and hobbies of a particular teacher. You should also consider the gender and age of the teacher. It will be good if the gift will correspond to the specialization of the teacher.

Proceeding from this, you should immediately understand that such gifts will not be appropriate for a professional teacher's holiday.

• Too expensive gifts - even if they are presented from the heart, and others, and teachers, gold and expensive gadgets can be regarded as an attempt to bribe. An expensive gift puts the teacher in an awkward position.
• Cash - no matter how many are in the envelope (even if it is small), cash is a bribe. The teacher violates the law by accepting such a gift.
• Cosmetics, perfumery - Regardless of gender and age, presented cream or lipstick, perfume or powder can be regarded as a hint that the hero of the occasion looks not the best way.
• Jewelry and clothes - these are so individual things that a person tries to select for himself personally, trying on, wondering if this thing is suitable for others that already exist in the wardrobe. Clothing and jewelry is an inappropriate gift for a teacher, who is considered to be a good person, but still not a native person.
• Food and alcohol. Cheap food and a bottle of liquor - an inappropriate and indecent gift, and expensive delicacies and elite alcohol - another option bribes.

So what to give the teacher in his professional holiday? Try to find the answer to this question in the profession itself a hero of the occasion. To facilitate the task, we present TOP universal gifts that are both relevant and inexpensive.

• Books - well, if it will be publications, one way or another connected with the subject that the teacher leads, but do not buy textbooks. They have a teacher and so it is. A great option is to make a class and buy a good detailed encyclopedia with beautiful illustrations. If you know the literary preferences of the teacher, you can choose fiction, but it's easy to guess, it is possible that people have already read the book.

• Beautiful notebook or glider - the main thing is that it is roomy, large, but compact in format so that it easily fits in the bag. Teachers write a lot, plan, take notes and notes, and therefore such a gift will have to be the way.

• Folder for papers and documents - It is better to choose a good-quality leather, which will serve the teacher for many years. The design can be any, but it is better to adhere to strict and official tone.

• Comfortable desk lamp - it is useful both at work and at home, because the teachers read a lot, write, check notebooks, fill out a cool journal, and often take part of the work at home in order to complete in a quiet atmosphere in the evening what was difficult in school rush. A lamp with a focused unsharp light will be very useful.

• Compact Stationery Set - It is better to choose a desktop version, including pencils pens, paper clips, stapler, stand for all of this.

• Gift Certificate - this option is a personalized gift. If you see that your teacher pays great attention to his appearance, decorations, then present him a gift certificate to the store of good cosmetics, where the teacher will be able to choose what he really needs. If the teacher is keen on sports, then you should give a certificate to a sports shop, and a plant and animal lover can present a certificate to a flower shop, pet shop.

• Tableware - A tea or coffee mug will always have to be a teacher by the way, and if it is personalized, it will be doubly pleasant. On the cup or glass, you can order a lettering with a request by name, a photo of the entire class, as well as any other designs.

• Flowers - this is not about a bouquet that will wither in a few days and will be in the garbage, but about flowers in a pot. Even if the teacher is not a great expert on the intricacies of growing indoor plants, he can place a beautiful plant in the classroom on a windowsill. The main thing that the selected plant often and beautifully bloomed.

There are some gender nuances, that is when choosing a gift should be taken into account and the floor of the teacher. Women teachers can be lovingly made a bouquet, but not from flowers, but from chocolates. Also, many pastry shops today offer a service such as baking themed cookies.

Is your geography teacher not formed by receiving a gift box of cookies in the form of continents, countries, continents? A biology teacher will definitely appreciate cookies in the form of animals, plants. It is also possible to order a small cake with a periodic table for a chemistry teacher.

Cookies and sweets are useless to men-teachers, because most of the representatives of the stronger sex are indifferent to sweets. You should also choose practical gifts, because all men, regardless of profession, are rational. Therefore, for a male teacher it’s better to choose what he can use daily. These are the folders and notebooks listed above (if it's not about a physical education teacher), as well as more original gifts, for example, a heated cup that works from USB. A man will be pleased if he is presented with a large supply of coffee beans or tea (depending on which drink he prefers).

A male teacher will be delighted with a large flash memory card, the main thing is that it has a strict neutral design. Although the physical education teacher, for example, just fits the flash drive in the shape of a soccer ball, and the labor teacher - a flash drive made in the form of a hammer or chisel.

Of all the teachers, the class teacher is usually the closest to students and their parents.It is with him that the most important issues are resolved, it is he who helps to sort out conflict situations and is happy for the success of each of his students. Therefore, a gift to the class teacher is a special topic of conversation.

Usually, the preferences and hobbies of the class teacher both children and parents know better than the hobbies and hobbies of other teachers leading children to certain subjects, and therefore the choice of a gift in this case can really be personalized to the maximum. Here are a few gift ideas from class on Teacher's Day.

• Portrait of a teacher by his photos. Such a gift will be a true recognition, a sign of respect and appreciation. Allowable portraits in any technique - graphics, watercolor, painting. Today such a service as the transformation of a person in a portrait depending on his profile of activity is in great demand. For example, you can order a portrait in which the class teacher teaching history will appear as the Roman commander or queen of Egypt, and the class teacher teaching literature in the image of the poet of the Middle Ages. You can simply make a king, princess, fairy or wizard out of a class teacher. The possibilities are endless.

• Personalized cake. The design of the confectionery product can be as arbitrary as the portrait design described above. It all depends on the fantasy of the donors and the capabilities of the pastry chef who will take up the order.

• Wall Clock. This can be either a finished product on school subjects, or made to order, with a portrait of a teacher, for example, or of the whole class. Such hours will perfectly fit into the interior of the classroom and will remind the teacher about the class for a long time even after the children grow up and leave the walls of the school.

• Graceful metal bookmarks for books and textbooks - such a small, but pleasant gift will always come in handy, because teachers deal with a large number of paper carriers.

• Portrait of a teacher from photos of students - a very unusual gift that is now very popular Relatively new service of photo workshops - making a portrait of a person from a photograph from the mass of small pictures of his students. It looks very unusual and touching.

• Video or mini-movie. Parents and children can make such a gift together. There are plenty of ideas on how to congratulate the class teacher, and besides, most of the children themselves are already doing an excellent job with the task of making a video and assembling it into a single video clip. Such a congratulation for the teacher has a special value, because it is clear that the video requires solid preparation - you need a script, you need to remove everything, and then put in music and make it. In the clip, you can insert photos and videos, starting from the year when the class teacher took the class, make modern frames.

• Photo album. This is not about a regular album for photographs, but a personalized beautiful album in which parents diligently collect pictures of children from the very first year of their training with this class teacher.

Like all other teachers, the class teacher will do. a gift certificate to a particular store or beauty salon, to visit the water park, cinema, theater. But it should take into account the open date and the number of those who can make the company a teacher.For example, if you know for sure that the class teacher has a husband and two children, present a certificate to an aquapark for four, so that your teacher can spend an unforgettable holiday with your family.

The school principal is undoubtedly the most important person in it. But, alas, he is far worse familiar to the majority of students and parents than the class teacher, unless, of course, the class leadership is provided by a non-principal. About the features of character, hobbies, hobbies and life views of the director are usually students and moms with dads do not really know anything. At best, rumors can circulate about them, which are dangerous to trust. And here the question of choosing a gift becomes, perhaps, the most difficult.

First you need to clearly understand that personal items, such as a tie, cufflinks, clothes, money, alcohol, the director does not give under any circumstances and to any holiday. You should not look at the director as an official, a manager who has little to do with Teacher's Day. Before you get such a position, your director most likely has come a long way from a simple teacher, and maybe continues to teach now, and therefore this professional holiday is no less important for him than for other teachers.

Any gift from this list will help emphasize the importance of the profession and express its recognition to the director.

• Magnetic marker board - it will help him to hold meetings more efficiently, accept reports from ordinary teachers, will always keep important things in front of his eyes that cannot be forgotten.

• Large office organizer - the director's work is regulated, planned out every day, so the organizer will have to be the way.

• Branded pen with engraving - it all depends on the budget. You can take and inexpensive options, and you can be more solid. Engraving ordered separately. On it you can engrave the initials of the person to whom the gift is intended, as well as the inscription, for example, “to Ivan Semenovich from 7" B "class".

If the director himself is a subject teacher, you can build the theme of the gift based on his specialization. Here you can come to the aid of custom-made pastries: a cake with physical formulas - for a director-physicist, cookies with predictions - for a director-historian, chocolate chess for a director-mathematic, etc. You can present a gift set of good fresh honey.

Director, as well as the class teacher, can be made as a gift portrait to order by photo, but with the fantasy here you should be careful. Not every director will want to hang his portrait in his office, in which he is portrayed as Ivan the Terrible or as the headmaster of Hogwarts Dumbledore. Will be better, if it is a normal, but high-quality portrait, made in any technique. You can order it from artists in any city, as well as in art shops.

The headmaster may like A good gift game set (checkers, chess). He sometimes has free time, and with some visitors it is much more diplomatic to conduct difficult negotiations over a game of chess.

You can give a picture on the cap, desktop stationary glasses case with a soft bottom, a desktop card holder-cube. You can present a beautiful wooden or stone casket - on the numerous shelves of the director's office there will definitely be a place for it.

Given that the director often receives guests, you can present a coffee or tea set. It is important that he be moderately strict, perfectly fitting into the atmosphere of the director's office.

His work is nervous, and it does not depend on his age, gender, therefore, a director who has a certain sense of humor and is easy to get in touch with people can be given something that will help him relax. There is a large selection of anti-stress souvenirs, a foot massager that can be discreetly placed under the table and combine work with a pleasant relaxing foot massage procedure.

The beautiful gift hourglasses that can be set on the table, the “Newton's cradle”, as well as the contemplation of the floating fish, relieve stress In order not to burden the director with the need to care for an aquarium, donate a closed ecosystem - an aqua farm. In it, small fish swimming in a small desktop aquarium provide nourishment to green plants growing from above, and plants provide oxygen and nourishment to small fishes. And beautiful, and does not require special care and cleaning.

If the director loves indoor flowers (this is perfectly noticeable by the degree of gardening in his office), feel free to give the plant in a pot. Choose an elegant and beautiful culture that will often bloom and delight its owner. You can buy a small tangerine tree or lemon in a pot or donate Japanese bonsai.

Please note that the crafts of his students, made and presented from a pure heart, are of particular value to the school principal. Let the most talented and handmade guys in the class do it. It may be:

• panels of natural materials;
• beautiful picture in the technique of quilling;
• glass vase, decorated with the hands of students in the technique of stained glass;
• homemade photoframe from natural materials.

Among the unusual gift ideas for the director can offer such options:

• USB-powered small goldfish aquarium - in addition to contemplating the soothing movements of a graceful goldfish, the director will be able to take advantage of other features of such a presentation - it has a clock, a stand for stationery;

• heated foot hammock - the piece is very interesting, is attached to the sides of the table from the inside and makes the process more enjoyable;

• back massager backrest - there are lots of options - from ball massagers to vibration;

• small table fan - great help in hot weather;

• perpetual calendar - It is best to give preference to the wooden model, it looks great, and for many years will save the hero of the day from the need to buy paper analogues.

Among the unusual gifts, of which there are a great many, I would like to mention the tabletop fountains and the levitron globe (a small globe that floats on the magnetic field) - these things will not only serve the benevolent goal of relaxation for the tired director, but will also be an excellent interior decoration for the office.

Subject teachers are different people, and therefore it is not the best option to buy the same notebooks for everyone. It is necessary to understand that each of them primarily teaches a particular subject, therefore It is best to choose thematic and practical gifts that will please the teacher and will be useful to the teacher or teacher in his daily work.

• Russian language and literature teacher - an e-book, a good set of pens, a beautiful notebook-glider, a certificate in a bookstore or a gift edition of the Dahl dictionary, a dictionary of borrowed words, accents, and so on.

• Foreign Language Teacher - a large dictionary, a portrait from a photograph on the background of the symbol of the country, the language of which the teacher conveys to children. For example, a French teacher - against the background of the Eiffel Tower, an English teacher - against the background of Big Ben, a German teacher - against the background of the monument of Germany, the female symbol of the country. You can also present the box with the flag or emblem of the country, a notebook with the same symbols.

• Geography teacher - the globe, the sweet globe from chocolate, the globe cake. You can donate a desktop safe piggy bank in the form of a globe. In professional activities, laser pointers, models of continents and continents, as well as collections of atlases, maps, encyclopedias on the subject of this subject will be useful.

This is only a rough list of ideas for gifts to teachers. A lot depends on how well you know your teacher.. If you know for sure that your physics teacher spends his free time on camping trips and fishing, feel free to give a tent, a camping set of dishes, a sleeping bag, a compass and a set of mosquitoes and ticks (very useful on camping trips). And if your chemistry teacher at leisure, knits soft toys, give him a set for creativity, which will allow him to create new masterpieces.
